...Common turbo problems - REA/SREA failure modes Rotary Electronic Actuators (REA) or Simple Rotary Electronic Actuators (SREA) are fitted to many variable geometry turbos and control the variable vane movement. This TechTip from Melett explores the benefits of the these actuators, and poss...
...Turbo damage from foreign objects When a turbocharger fails, the failure is almost certainly the result of some external fault or pressures. Melett explains how to recognise turbocharger damage from foreign objects and how to prevent it from occurring. Turbochargers are manufactured...
...A blocked DPF can cause turbo failure There are many articles and technical documents relating to how a faulty turbo can lead to DPF damage. However, the DPF is actually responsible for more turbo related failures than you might think. Here Melett explore what effect a blocked/partially...
...Turbo failure from lack of oil Common turbo failure modes create much discussion between Melett's technical department and their customers. To help identify common failures in warranty situations, and to provide advice on how to prevent future failures occurring, Melett have created a s...
...Turbo refitting There are many simple checks to carry out before a turbo is installed, which help prevent catastrophic failure and unexpected repair costs. Here, Gary Brook, Technical Engineer at Melett, shares his knowledge and experience of how to avoid contamination during refitting....
...Diagnosing turbo damage from oil contamination Diagnosing turbocharger damage from oil contamination Common turbo failure modes create much discussion between Melett's technical department and their customers. To help identify common failures in warranty situations, and to provide advi...
...Correctly diagnosing turbo overspeeding When a turbocharger fails, the failure is almost certainly the result of some external fault or pressures. Melett explains the causes of turbocharger overspeeding and how to diagnose them. Common Turbo Failures Common turbo failure modes create m...
