Diesel Variable Geometry Turbo Failures

VGT or Variable Geometry Turbo-Chargers have the same objective, but with a different approach. VGTs like most other turbo units tend to have a high failure rate if not cared for correctly. In this video we expose some of the failures associated with VGTs specifically and what can be done to prevent it. Rebuilding a VGT is no easy task, so it is best to prevent damage by applying a few simple rules.

Presented using advanced software CG animation technology to help you understand. Part of our Automotive Technology Diesel and electronic series shown here on this channel. Enjoy...

listen to the robot

@ThomasCinquin some are water cooled aswell

@ Mieden : turbos are cooled with oil on the bearing, not water

[Mieden]

Modern cars (at least the German ones I work on) have electric water pumps that run after shut off to circulate coolant through the turbo(s) to cool them. Turbo timers are obsolete... Ill give them 7 to 10 more years before they"re extinct.

@wilnoy Dont believe the dealers mate, they want to see you more often at their workshop. And never trust women especially lol.

we have that ReVGT... the dealer said, the car doesnt need a turbo timer... but i dont believe her... coz once the car has a turbo charger, you will take time to cool it off before turning it off... and i read the manual that extended driving or high RPMs make the turbo heated up.... thank you for uploading this
