Hot engine components can cause injury from burns. Before performing maintenance on the engine, allow the engine and the components to cool.
Personal injury can result from rotating and moving parts.Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.Never attempt adjustments while the machine is moving or the engine is running unless otherwise specified.The machine must be parked on a level surface and the engine stopped.
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Before you begin inspection of the turbocharger, be sure that the inlet air restriction is within the specifications for your engine. Be sure that the exhaust system restriction is within the specifications for your engine. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Air Inlet and Exhaust System - Inspect".The condition of the turbocharger will have definite effects on engine performance. Use the following inspections and procedures to determine the condition of the turbocharger.
Inspection of the Compressor and the Compressor Housing
Inspection of the Turbine Wheel and the Turbine Housing
Inspection of the WastegateInspection of the Compressor and the Compressor Housing
Remove air piping from the compressor inlet.
Inspect the compressor wheel for damage from a foreign object. If there is damage, determine the source of the foreign object. As required, clean the inlet system and repair the intake system. Replace the turbocharger. If there is no damage, go to Step 3.
Clean the compressor wheel and clean the compressor housing if you find buildup of foreign material. If there is no buildup of foreign material, go to Step 3.
Turn the rotating assembly by hand. While you turn the assembly, push the assembly sideways . The assembly should turn freely. The compressor wheel should not rub the compressor housing. Replace the turbocharger if the compressor wheel rubs the compressor wheel housing. If there is no rubbing or scraping, go to Step 4.
Inspect the compressor and the compressor wheel housing for oil leakage. An oil leak from the compressor may deposit oil in the aftercooler. Drain and clean the aftercooler if you find oil in the aftercooler.
Check the oil level in the crankcase. If the oil level is too high, adjust the oil level.
Inspect the air cleaner element for restriction. If restriction is found, correct the problem.
Inspect the engine crankcase breather. Clean the engine crankcase breather or replace the engine crankcase breather if the engine crankcase breather is plugged.
Remove the oil drain line of the turbocharger. Inspect the drain opening. Inspect the oil drain line. Inspect the area between the bearings of the rotating assembly shaft. Look for oil sludge. Inspect the oil drain hole for oil sludge. Inspect the oil drain line for oil sludge in the drain line. If necessary, clean the rotating assembly shaft. If necessary, clean the oil drain hole. If necessary, clean the oil drain line.
If Steps 4.a through 4.d did not reveal the source of the oil leakage, the turbocharger has internal damage. Replace the turbocharger. Inspection of the Turbine Wheel and the Turbine Housing
Remove the air piping from the turbine outlet casing.
Inspect the turbine for damage by a foreign object. If there is damage, determine the source of the foreign object. Replace the turbocharger. If there is no damage, go to Step 2.
Inspect the turbine wheel for buildup of carbon and other foreign material. Inspect the turbine housing for buildup of carbon and foreign material. Clean the turbine wheel and clean the turbine housing if you find buildup of carbon or foreign material. If there is no buildup of carbon or foreign material, go to Step 3.
Turn the rotating assembly by hand. While you turn the assembly, push the assembly sideways. The assembly should turn freely. The turbine wheel should not rub the turbine wheel housing. Replace the turbocharger if the turbine wheel rubs the turbine wheel housing. If there is no rubbing or scraping, go to Step 4.
Inspect the turbine and the turbine wheel housing for oil leakage. Inspect the turbine and the turbine wheel housing for oil coking. Some oil coking may be cleaned. Heavy oil coking may require replacement of the turbocharger. If the oil is coming from the turbocharger center housing go to Step 4.a. Otherwise go to “Inspection of the Wastegate”.
Remove the oil drain line of the turbocharger . Inspect the drain opening. Inspect the area between the bearings of the rotating assembly shaft. Look for oil sludge. Inspect the oil drain hole for oil sludge. Inspect the oil drain line for oil sludge. If necessary, clean the rotating assembly shaft. If necessary, clean the drain opening. If necessary, clean the drain line.
If crankcase pressure is high, or if the oil drain is restricted, pressure in the center housing may be greater than the pressure of the turbine housing. Oil flow may be forced in the wrong direction and the oil may not drain. Check the crankcase pressure and correct any problems.
If the oil drain line is damaged, replace the oil drain line.
Check the routing of the oil drain line. Eliminate any sharp restrictive bends. Make sure that the oil drain line is not too close to the engine exhaust manifold.
If Steps 4.a through 4.d did not reveal the source of the oil leakage, the turbocharger has internal damage. Replace the turbocharger. Inspection of the Wastegate
The turbocharger senses boost pressure which actuates the wastegate valve. The wastegate valve controls the amount of exhaust gas that is allowed to bypass the turbine side of the turbocharger. Regulating the amount of exhaust gas that enters the turbocharger regulates the rpm of the turbocharger.
