Compressor Oil Seal

  1. Remove turbocharger assembly from the engine. Remove wastegate activating rod clip and rod. Scribe a line across compressor housing and backing plate to aid in reassembly.
  2. Remove 6 compressor housing bolts. Remove wastegate activating diaphragm and detach compressor housing from backing plate.
  3. Check for excessive oil on compressor wheel, backing plate and housing inner surface. If excessive oil is detected, replace turbo-charger assembly.
  4. Inspect compressor wheel for blade erosion, cracking, damage, rubbing or slipping on shaft. Check for rubbing or scraping. If any of these conditions exist, replace turbocharger assembly.
