Turbocharger (If fitted) :

Your car is fitted with a turbocharger. Turbocharger is an

efficient supercharging device used in our engine. It makes

use of thermal energy of engine exhaust gases to run a

turbine which in turn drives a compressor to force air under

pressure into the inlet manifold.

Lubrication of  Turbocharger :

The turbocharger rotor assembly is supported by two fully

floating bearing bushes in the bearing housing. These bearing

bushes are lubricated with finely filtered engine oil from the

lubrication system of the engine.

Idle the engine for a while (one minute) after starting the

engine and before stopping the engine to ensure adequate

lubricating oil supply to the turbocharger.

Turbocharger Connections :

All turbocharger connections must be leak-proof. Check

air inlet, air outlet, exhaust gas inlet and exhaust outlet

connections as well as oil inlet and outlet connections to

the turbocharger and tighten the connections where required.

Proper maintenance of air filter, oil filter as well as use of

correct grade of oil and adherence to oil change intervals is

essential for proper functioning of the turbocharger.

If you suspect any malfunctioning of the turbocharger, take

the vehicle to the nearest dealer. Do not remove the

turbocharger yourself.
