3) Inspection of Turbine
Thoroughly check the followings.
Must absolutely not operate the turbocharger with the compressor outlet and inlet opened as it
could damage the turbocharger or be hazardous during inspection.
Interference: In case where is trace of interference or smallest damage on the compressor
wheel means, most of times, that abrasion has occurred on the journal bearing. Must inspect
after the overhaul.
Oil Leakage: The reason for oil leakage at the compressor section is the air cleaner, clogged
by substances such as dust, causes the compressor inlet negative pressure. -
-
Rotating in high speed at no-load for extended period of time can cause oil leakage to the
compressor section as oil pressure within the center housing gets higher than pressure
within the compressor housing.
Overuse of engine break (especially in low gear) in down hill makes significantly low
exhaust gas energy compared to the time where great amount of air is required during
idling conditions of the engine. Therefore, amount of air in the compressor inlet increases
but the turbocharge pressure is not high, which makes negative a.
b.
No problem will occur with the turbocharger if above conditions are found in early stage but
oil leaked over long period of time will solidify at each section causing to breakout secondary
defects.
Damages by foreign materials: In case where the compressor wheel is damaged by foreign
materials requires having an overhaul. At this time, it's necessary to check whether the foreign
materials have contaminated intake/exhaust manifold or inside of engine.

3. TROUBLESHOOTING
The followings are cautions to take in handling defects of turbocharger, which must be fully aware
of.
1) Cautions
After stopping the engine, check whether the bolts on pipe connecting section are loose as
well as the connecting condition of vacuum port and modulator, which is connected to the
actuator.
During idling of the engine, check for leakage in the connecting section of pipe (hoses and
pipes, duct connections, after the turbocharger) by applying soap water. The leakage
condition in the engine block and turbine housing opening can be determined by the
occurrence of abnormal noise of exhaust.
By running the engine at idle speed, abnormal vibration and noise can be checked.
Immediately stop the engine when abnormal vibration and noise is detected and make
thorough inspection whether the turbocharger shaft wheel has any damages as well as
checking the condition of connections between pipes.
In case where the noise of engine is louder than usual, there is possibility of dampness in the
areas related with air cleaner and engine or engine block and turbocharger. And it could affect
the smooth supply of engine oil and discharge.
Check for damp condition in exhaust gas when there is sign of thermal discoloration or
discharge of carbon in connecting area of the duct.
When the engine rotates or in case where there is change in noise level, check for clogging of
air cleaner or air cleaner duct or if there is any significant amount of dust in the compressor
housing.
During the inspection of center housing, inspect inside of the housing by removing the oil
drain pipe to check for sludge generation and its attachment condition at shaft area or turbine
side.
Inspect or replace the air cleaner when the compressor wheel is damaged by inflow of foreign
materials.
Inspect both side of the turbocharger wheel after removing inlet and outlet pipe of the
turbocharger. 1.

2. MAINTENANCE
1) Level Check
Park the vehicle on a level ground and apply the parking brake. Stop the engine and wait more
than 5 minutes.
Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Reinsert it all the way.
Pull out it again and check the oil level.
The oil level should be between the maximum (Max) mark and minimum (Min) mark on the oil
dipstick. Oil should be replenished before the level goes below the minimum mark. -
-
-
Operating vehicle with insufficient amount of oil can damage the engine. Make sure the engine
oil level is correct and add oil if necessary.
2) Replenishment
If the level gets to the lower point, open the filler cap on top of the cylinder block and add the
genuine oil without exceeding the level of the upper mark.
Recheck the oil level after 5 minutes.
Regularly check the engine oil level and add Ssangyong genuine engine oil if necessary.
Clean the dipstick with clean cloth so that any foreign materials cannot get into the engine.
The oil should not go above the upper mark on the dipstick.
The engine oil may be consumed more if the engine is new. -

4. DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURE
1) Oil Leak Diagnosis
Most fluid oil leaks are easily located and repaired by visually finding the leak and replacing or
repairing the necessary parts. On some occasions a fluid leak may be difficult to locate or repair.
The following procedures may help you in locating and repairing most leaks.
Finding the Leak ▶
Identify the fluid. Determine whether it is engine oil, automatic transmission fluid, power
steering fluid, etc.
Identify where the fluid is leaking from. -
-
After running the vehicle at normal operating temperature, park the vehicle over a large
sheet of paper.
Wait a few minutes.
You should be able to find the approximate location of the leak by the drippings on the
paper. ·
·
·
Visually check around the suspected component.
Check around all the gasket mating surfaces for leaks. A mirror is useful for finding leaks
in areas that are hard to reach.
If the leak still cannot be found, it may be necessary to clean the suspected area with a
degreaser, steam or spray solvent. -
-
Clean the area well.
Dry the area.
Operate the vehicle for several miles at normal operating temperature and varying
speeds.
After operating the vehicle, visually check the suspected component.
If you still cannot locate the leak, try using the powder or black light and dye method. ·
·
·
·
·
Clean the suspected area.
Apply an aerosol-type powder (such as foot powder) to the suspected area.
Operate the vehicle under normal operating conditoins.
Visually inspect the suspected component. You should be able to trace the leak path over
the white powder surface to the source. -
-
-
- Powder Method ▶

01-10
Black Light and Dye Method ▶
A dye and light kit is available for finding leaks, Refer to the manufacturer's directions when using
the kit.
Pour the specified amount of dye into the engine oil fill tube.
Operate the vehicle normal operating conditions as directed in the kit.
Direct the light toward the suspected area. The dyed fluid will appear as a yellow path
leading to the source. -
-
-
Once the origin of the leak has been pinpointed and traced back to its source, the cause of the
leak must be determined in order for it to be repaired properly.
If a gasket is replaced, but the sealing flange is bent, the new gasket will not repair the leak. The
bent flange must be repaired also. Before attempting to repair a leak, check for the following
conditions and correct them as they may cause a leak.Repairing the Leak ▶
Gaskets ▶
The fluid level/pressure is too high.
The crankcase ventilation system is malfunctioning.
The seal bore is damaged (scratched, burred or nicked).
The seal is damaged or worn.
Improper installation is evident.
There are cracks in the components.
The shaft surface is scratched, nicked or damaged.
A loose or worn bearing is causing excess seal wear. -
