    Bought a Saab in the mid 85's and the mechanic at the dealership stopped me before I drove it the first time and told me the exact same thing Scotty said about letting the engine warm up a few minutes before driving the vehicle hard and also letting the car idle for around 30 seconds before shutting off the engine. Told me that was the key to not having problems with the turbo charger. Never forgot it and never had a problem the whole time I owned the car.

    @7wingsaseagles89 5 лет назад +48

    The bearings in a turbocharger spin at such a hight rate that really what is actually happening is the turbo bearings are riding on a film of oil. Similar to the concept of tires on a road riding on a film of water instead of the road commonly referred to as hydroplaning. This is why oil pressure is important because the bearings at high speeds cannot make contact with metal they rely on oil separation.

      @martinl1427 5 лет назад +23

      Yeah, start&stop is a cancer for the engine. Here in EU every car has to have it, and in some countries you can even get fined for disabling it. I just turn it off after every startup. New volvos have it kind of more clever though. It does not shut off the engine for a few minutes after startup, and also after driving it hard. Even after you turn the engine off, you can hear the electric water pump buzzing, so I guess it still runs water through the turbo to cool it.

    I drive a 2012 Volvo XC60 with much the same system. I use full synthetic oil and change every 7500 miles. I drive a lot so that's like 2 months haha. I have 176,000 miles and for "poop and laughter" I called up a Volvo specialist to ask them about how long the turbos last. The mechanic said "I've been a Volvo tech for 20 years. I've seen 2." I then called a turbo shop to see how much a hypothetical rebuild would cost. The owner replied "I don't know. Yours would be the first one I've ever seen and won't know till I got it apart". Apparently, Volvo turbos are stronger than others.

    • @Arby631
      @Arby631 5 лет назад +8

      The turbos on most Volvo’s are Mitsubishi made. It’s not a common point of failure. Far more likely to hear about transmission or PCV issues. Hope you got your transmission oil changed. My 05 S80 auto crapped out around 160,000 with no changes. It was 16 years old however.

      @@Arby631 Looking past how an 05 model got to 16 years old prior to 2020 ;p... "lifetime" ATF is intentional industry stupidity that's come with the industry's move to sealed transmissions. It's bunk that leads to premature AT failure. Sure it's a pain to pay for a complicated change with pricey fluid every 100000km on my 1993 5 series V8s, but not as big a pain as a blown transmission which happened with great regularity in these models on the stock fluid generally between 150000 and 200000 km. On the upside, the reputation means they are cheap to buy, wreckers are well stocked with parts, and they are fantastic candidates for manual conversions.

    Scotty didn't mention that the best way to cool a turbo after a blast on the freeway or a long uphill is to cool it with residential driving speeds of 25-30 mph before then idling for 30-60 seconds. You need to allow a turbo to "spool down" RPM s as well as cool down.

My turbo usually kicked in at 2000-2100 rpm, but after driving the thing for about 10 years with 100000 kms on it, it started kicking in at 2500 rpm. So i did that adjustment on the wastegate and its now back on 2000-2100 rpm range. Is it good or bad?

    Thanks Scotty for posting this video. I have a Chevy 2012 Cruze with the turbocharged engine. It hesitates when I step on the gas. Sometimes, it does not accelerate at all which is real dangerous when I am merging with traffic. I brought it into the dealership. I told them about it but all they said was it needing a new turbocharger and intercooler because it came back with an under boost code. After they replaced it, it still has issues with hesitation, especially when it's hot outside, usually above 80 degrees. It can get to be over 90 or a 100 around here, so I dread merging onto the freeway. After watching this video, I plan on replacing the synthetic oil over 5000 miles and letting the engine warm up 10 seconds, I hope this will solve the issue with the hesitation. The dealer cant seem to solve it. Im no mechanic so I rely on car guys for advice and fixing my car. The car is great, when it doesn't hesitate or have rough idling that shakes the whole car. I'm considering buy a Corolla or Camry after watching your videos about how great Toyotas are.

      @-TheManInDboX - waste of money... You know where you are driving, just drive normal for 5 mins before your destination. Most turbos after the early 90s are oil and water cooled, the water recirculates still after you shut it off. my daily 98 wrx, factory turbo, 173000 miles, still makes 12 psi

    Hi Scotty! This is my first question: I'm a new driver. I heard that when stopping at a red light for a long time, you should put your automatic transmission from D to N to reduce grind from the engines. I've also seen my father put it to P while waiting for a long time at a red light. Online forums say to leave it in D for safety's sake, and not to wear out the transmission clutches. As a mechanic, which practice is the best? THANKS!

    Hey scotty, someone told me about the wastegate of the turbo. If you adjust it right you get your turbo kick in fast. Is there any danger doing that? My turbo usually kicked in at 2000-2100 rpm, but after driving the thing for about 10 years with 100000 kms on it, it started kicking in at 2500 rpm. So i did that adjustment on the wastegate and its now back on 2000-2100 rpm range. Is it good or bad?

    Also another tip. Whether you are driving an AT or manual, be at least 2700-3000rpm before you floor it. Don't accelerate from like 1500rpm, you are flooding your engine and the turbo builds the boost much slower from slower rpm and you could end up with detonation from unburned fuel and there goes your entire engine and say goodbye to your car.
    Also if you are buying a turbocharged car, it requires much more TLC than an naturally aspirated. You have to keep an eye on everything and you have to change spark plugs much more frequently and be mindful what kind of fuel you are putting in. All require top-tier gas, Exxon, Shell, Sunaco, etc. Walmart's brandless fuel, Sam's Club etc.. or something like that will not do any good.
