When Your Turbocharger Needs More Attention

A well-designed turbocharger can boost your car's performance, economy, and driving enjoyment. From daily commuter cars to diesel work trucks and even high-performance European cars, your turbocharger is doing a lot of work for you to get the performance your engine is built for. If issues arise, putting off repairs can cost you a lot of money and cause an untimely breakdown.  

Here at Berks Auto Repair in Reading, PA, we can offer you quality turbocharger repair for gas and diesel cars. We're able to offer a wide range of turbocharger maintenance and diagnostics services, as well as full turbocharger replacements, ensuring your car performs at its peak for years to come.

What is a turbocharger?

Turbochargers, also known as turbos, are a part of an engine that boosts power and efficiency by pumping more compressed air into the engine's combustion chamber. A turbocharger does not only force air into the engine itself, but it also draws air into the engine by spinning a turbine with energy from the exhaust gases of the engine.  

That turbine is linked to a compressor wheel, which compresses the air that goes into the engine. The more air that the engine can process, the more fuel it can burn efficiently, and the more horsepower the engine will generate—at a minimal increase in engine size.

Understanding the Importance of Turbocharger Health

A turbocharger is designed to make more air available to your engine to burn more fuel efficiently and generate more power. But it is subjected to very high temperatures and high speeds, which requires a lot of turbocharging repair and maintenance. Failure to respond to early warning signs can lead to serious internal damage, excessive fuel consumption, and total turbo failure.  

We provide full turbocharger inspections to find issues before they cause costly repairs. From car turbo repair services to diesel turbo repair and engine performance tuning, Berks Auto Repair is equipped with the tools and expertise to get you back on the road.

Common Turbocharger Failure Symptoms

Early signs of turbocharger failure can help avoid thousands of dollars in future repairs. The following are some of the most common warning signs:

01
Loss of acceleration or engine losing power.
02
Poor fuel economy.
03
Gunny noise or grinding noises.
04
The smoke from the exhaust turbos is blue.
05
The use of turbo causes black smoke.
06
Black smoke from the turbo.
07
Oil consumption.
08
Check engine light turbocharger warning.
09
Noticeable turbo lag.

Another symptom you might see is that your turbocharger whines but doesn't boost, or you have a loss of power when driving with the turbo on.  

If your car exhibits any of these symptoms, you should have your turbocharged car diagnosed as soon as possible to avoid further engine damage.

Complete Turbocharger Diagnostics

Successful turbocharger repair starts with an accurate diagnosis. When you bring your car to Berks Auto Repair, our technicians will use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and inspection techniques to determine exactly what is causing the issues with your turbo before recommending any repairs. 

From reduced power to unusual noises to a check engine light, our turbocharger diagnostics service offers vehicle turbo diagnostics, turbo system diagnosis, and boost leak diagnosis to uncover hidden problems. To assess your turbo performance in real driving conditions, we conduct a turbo boost pressure test, a turbocharger efficiency test, and a turbocharger performance test.  

When your vehicle has an under boost code, a turbocharger repair fault (P0299), or a turbocharger boost leak, we will find out the cause of the problem and not just replace parts. Our technicians also conduct turbo fault code diagnostics, turbo lag diagnostics, and turbocharger noise diagnostics, which will identify issues like worn bearings, damaged actuators, leaking hoses, or failing internal parts.  

After a comprehensive inspection, we will be able to tell you if your vehicle can be repaired, a part replaced, a turbo rebuilt, or a complete turbocharger replacement is necessary, without unnecessary rebuild or replacement costs.
