Mechanic Uncovers Hidden Cause of Turbo Failures, Offers Simple Solution
Mechanic Reveals Simple Trick to Prevent Costly Turbo Failures A recent video by Spanish auto parts specialist "Desguace Motocoche" has shed light on a frequently overlooked cause of turbocharger failure in vehicles. The mechanic, identified as Franky, explains that many car owners experience repeated turbo breakdowns, even after replacing the unit, due to an unaddressed lubrication issue. "It's happening in many cases where the turbo breaks, they change it, put a new one in, and it breaks again shortly after," Franky states in the video. According to Franky, the root of the problem lies in a small, often forgotten filter located within the oil feed line that lubricates the turbocharger. This filter, he demonstrates on a car engine, can become completely clogged with impurities over time, leading to insufficient lubrication for the turbo. "This filter, with time, becomes totally clogged with impurities and doesn't lubricate well," he explains, holding up the tiny, dirty component. The mechanic emphasizes that while many focus on replacing the entire turbo, the simpler and more cost-effective solution is to regularly change this small filter. He highlights that this crucial step is often overlooked by both car owners and some mechanics. Franky even shared a personal experience, saying, "It has happened to me because I've ruined two turbos in my father's car." The video serves as a practical guide for car owners to prevent significant repair costs by addressing this minor but critical component.
