Troubleshooting

Trouble shooting

Lmturbo consist on testing every turbo on the equipment like engine, ensure it is on the good working situation as qualified one. For new types, we will do the performance and stability test.
We offer a 12-month warranty for a new turbo, and make a promise on our products quality.
Fault Finding
When analysing possible turbo-charger problems please remember the following:
>> Think of a turbo as an integral part of the engine
>> Don't always assume the turbo is at fault when things go wrong

The Three Turbo killers
Lack of Lubricant	Contamination of Lubricant	Ingestion of Objects
