subject: How To Maintain 1.8t Turbine Engine [print this page] The operating conditions of 1.8 T engine are relatively harsh, its turbocharger, cylinder as well as the other parts are applied the homologous fuel to do the lubrication. Moreover, compared with the fuel used in the natural-aspirated engine, the fuel used in the 1.8 T engine is much easier to go bad, so it has to regularly change fuel or change the fuel in terms of the fixed mileage, so that it is convenient for people to timely clean the filters and pipelines. All of this is caused by the case that the turbocharger is always under the high-temperature rotation, the pipelines are heated, and the inner fuel is thus tending to produce coke and carbon, thus resulting in breakdown of the engine because of insufficient lubrication in garrett turbocharger. Sometimes, it will block the fuel filters, thus affecting the normal operation of engine. If it is driven for a long time on the highway, the fuel light will be on the alarm. Therefore, people should use the fuel which the car manufacturers specify or the high-end synthetic fuel so as to ensure quality, in such way, the engine can receive the maximized maintenance.
Sometimes, when the fuel is changed into the dark color, you don't have to hurry to change the fuel, for the gap which is between the opening of the piston ring and cylinder is relatively large, and the engine is under the high-speed rotation, and hence, the case of fuel changing color is normal. You can generally make up your decision according to the mileage or the operating environment. If you are in the urban area, you can have a smooth driving. After the run-in period, you can change fuel for every 5,000 km.
Besides, you have to regularly change the air filter in order to ensure that the air which enters the cylinder is clean and the air won't damage the turbine when it is discharged at high speed.
Moreover, you will have to drive on the highway from time to time, so that the high-speed rotating of engine can play out the dynamic performance and it can eliminate some coke. Besides that, the engine would be in the idle or the low-speed shaking sometimes, which is caused by the impurities in fuel clogging the fuel nozzle. Through the high-speed rotation, high-voltage fuel flow can be strongly spraying, which can clean the dirt so as to keep smooth of fuel channel.
At last, you should regularly clean the air conditioner and replace its filter core. Most air in the driven room will be entered through the air conditioning channel. If it is too dirty, it will result in small wind volume and bigger noises of fan, thus affecting the service life of fan. When you dismantle the turbocharger, you should keep it clean, and use the cleaned cloth to clog each fitting so as to avoid the debris dropping into the turbocharger, thus damaging the rotator. When you are repairing the turbine engine, you should be careful enough not to collide or damage the impeller. If you want to replace the impeller, you should do the parallel test on it. After finishing reinstallation, you can take out the blocked things.
It is certain that you still require a lot of ancillary equipment, for instance, turbo repair kits, cleaning device and so forth. If you are not the expert, it is recommended that you should go to the car repair shop or check the maintenance information on the Internet, so that you can keep the regular maintenance of turbine engine.
