If you have Turbocharger equipped engine, here are 5 things you can do to help reduce the cost of reconditioning or replacing your turbocharger. Very few people know that the most important factor that influences the life of the turbo is the driver himself, so we hope that this article will help you.

So let’s start the list!

The first aspect is the ENGINE OIL . You must know that the oil reaches the turbo, where it lubricates all the moving parts. It is very important, to choose the right oil, with the right specifications for your engine and to change the oil on time. In fact, some drivers change the engine oil faster than the manufacturer indicates (for prevention). We don’t insist on oil anymore – there are already several articles discussing on what exactly leads to increased oil consumption .
ENGINE HEATING – also depends on optimal lubrication. Don’t accelerate immediately after starting the engine; it takes 5-10 seconds for the oil to be distributed from the engine to the turbocharger. Moreover, when it is cold, the oil also needs to be hot to ensure optimal lubrication. Bottom line: try to refrain from going “fast” as soon as you start the engine, but let it idle for at least 10 seconds, then start moving without powerful acceleration until the engine and oil touch optimum working temperature.
TURBOCHARGER COOLING is just as important . Long round trips with strong acceleration can heat up the turbine components so much that the oil starts to boil. Sudden shutdown of the engine in this situation leads to the formation of residues and carbon deposits in the turbocharger. So, when you stop, let the engine idle for a while until you gather your things, your phones, to allow time for the oil to circulate and the temperature in the turbo to drop. In this way, you also prevent the physical damage of the turbine components, in addition to avoiding the deposition of residues.
Perhaps the most important aspect, is that drivers OVERSTRESS the TURBOCHARGER. When you drive in high gear and slow down (low RPM), the turbine is forced, which, in time, will damage it. Try using the gearbox effectively and use a lower gear when you overtake or climb a hill.
Regarding maintenance, it is also recommended to “FORCE THE TURBOCHARGER ” after a period in which there was a lot of traffic at low speeds (usually in the city), going out on the highway that allows acceleration up to 4-5000 RPM for 10-15 seconds, reducing the calamine and deposits inside the turbine. Be careful! The engine and oil must be at optimum operating temperature before doing so.

However, if you are having problems with your turbine, we recommend that you contact a professional refurbishment and repair center to prevent the complete destruction of the turbocharger

We will not go into other more technical aspects, because we consider this are the most important for you to know. We look forward to see what is your experience regarding car turbochargers so we encourage every one to tell us in the comment section.

Cheap and easy ways to improve your engine performance

We often find, after a while, that the engine’s performance is no longer the same, or that it doesn’t behave the way it used to. There is also the situation in which we buy a used car from which we do not know what to expect, but we want to be sure that it offers us “everything he can”. Below we have prepared some key aspects that we must take into account when you feel that the car no longer rapid or when we buy a used car and we want to make sure that it works to its full potential.

Change the air filter – as we presented in another article , changing the air filter can have visible effects on engine performance;
Replace fuel filter: A new fuel filter better filters out impurities and ensures optimum fuel flow to the engine, while reducing the load on the fuel pump.
Change the oil : quality and timely changed engine oil is vital to improve engine performance; the type of oil used is also very important – it must comply with the manufacturer’s specifications.
For petrol engines, check and replace spark plugs and plugs : spark plugs are very important for petrol engines; a new set of spark plugs can significantly improve engine performance.
Use quality fuel – the technical book of each car mentions the type of fuel to be used and the rules that it must follow; Avoid using fuel from a questionable source purchased from other people, just because it’s cheaper. At the same time, it is recommended to clean the tank on cars older than 10-15 years, to remove any deposits that may clog the filter or injectors;
Check the hoses – any small leak of an aged or loose hose due to vibrations or shocks can significantly reduce engine performance. If you notice a lack of power or unusual engine behavior, it is very important that these hoses are checked by a specialist before resorting to other operations.

Although it is possible to “get rid of cheap” by following the steps above, these operations are just the first steps to follow and address the cause of the most common and simplest problems that can affect engine performance. If none of the above points work, it means that there are malfunctions that require more complex diagnosis and interventions, in which case it is recommended to call specialists.

Did the engine water pump fail?

De către

The role of the water pump and when to change it

The purpose of the pump is to circulate the engine coolant to maintain the correct operating temperature (cool the engine). The principle is simple, the rotational movement of the pallets positioned obliquely pushes the coolant into the engine and into the entire cooling assembly. In the classic version, the water pump is driven by the movement of the crankshaft.

Usually the water pump changes at intervals when the timing belts is replaced. There are other cases when it fails ahead of time, but there are other factors involved. If the water pump is gone, you have to tow the car, you have to disassemble the timing belt again, change the pump and then pay for the labor twice !!!!!!!!

The water pump has been designed to operate and last as long as the life of the car distribution belt. If your car has a belt change of 60,000 or 90,000 km then the water pump must be replaced with the timing belt, tension rollers, guide rollers or accessory belt.

Types of water pumps and fittings

Generally, the mechanically operated water pump is mounted in the middle – lower part of the engine. The movement of the pump is given by the timing belt or by the accessory belt for the cars that have timing chain.

For Start / Stop or Hybrid cars, the water pump may only be electric. In addition to the mechanical pump, we also find a electrically operated one, which, when the engine is switched off, still provides cooling. On some cars the electric pump is positioned near the expansion vessel. For electric cars, the water pump is only electrically operated so that it can better control the temperature of the battery pack and the engine.

What parts may fail on water pump?

Like many mechanical parts, the water pump tends to wear out. Wear can be exacerbated if there is only water instead of antifreeze, the antifreeze level is too low or there are impurities in the coolant. See below what might fail:

The bearing may break
The rotor or clamp may break
Shaft play caused by wear
Antifreeze infiltration on the bearing
Rust or impurities that destroy the blades

What are the symptoms of a faulty pump?

The pump usually shows signs of failure when it makes strange noises or has small leaks. If you notice any signs, go to the first service. Other symptoms include:

Rapid rise in engine temperature (thermostat may be blocked)
No heating inside the car
Leaking antifreeze around the water pump until the system is empty
Permanent sounds in the form of buzzing
Timing belt vibration from the shaft being lose

ATTENTION!
There have been cases where the water pump shaft failed to actuate the timing belt, causing the belt to slip off the camshaft and stall the engine! Don’t save money where it’s not worth it.

To prevent water pump damage, it is advisable to use quality antifreeze, in no case only distilled water. Always make sure you have a proper level of fluid level between the minimum and maximum. Make sure there are no leaks or other elements in the cooling system to keep it permanently clean – this can be most easily seen in the expansion vessel.

What are the manufacturers and what are the prices?

The most important aftermarket manufacturers are: ContiTech (Continental), MAHLE, HELLA, Valeo, MagnetiMarelli, Gates, SKF, Bosch, HEPU. They all offer quality products and the prices start at 30 € and can go up to 180 € for a water pump. Distribution packages are now available which, in addition to the timing belt, have included in the package all the accessories that need to be replaced: tension rollers, guide rollers, oil, filters and antifreeze.

WHICH MANUFACTURER DID YOU CHOOSE WHEN YOU CHANGED THE WATER PUMP?

Today we talk about a topic in a more interactive format about some problems with the engine that lead to oil consumption/burn. We will make a list and suggest that you share your experience with us either here or on the Facebook page and we will periodically complete the article with suggestions that seem relevant to us. When giving us feedback, it is important to mention the car model, engine, year, km and the cause you have discovered regarding the oil consumption / loss of your engine.

Therefore, here are the reasons for oil burn/consumption, by categories:

Errors

wrong oil for your engine
oil change is very important. The deadline indicated by the manufacturer must not be exceeded. Also you must consider how is the engine operating. An engine that was used more aggressively needs an oil with high temperature tolerances and it must be changed more often (the burn oil becomes more thinner and starts to deposit on the moving parts).
missing oil cap
wrong segment alignment (rare cases)
Counterfeit or poor quality oils
Type of fuel used: a fuel with a higher octane / cetane number can cause oil consumption

Wear

segments or cylinder walls wear(white smoke from the exhaust until engine warms up)
used turbine bearing (emits bluish-gray smoke at start-up)
wear of engine gaskets
used turbine ( see here how to prevent turbine wear )
oil seals on valves are “baked”, it is known that the plastic in them yields faster than the segments
cylinders may be worn; the diagnosis can be established exactly after a compression check
Turbocharger losses pressure (damaged hoses)

Leakage

oil pan (sump) is leaking
engine gasket are broken
oil filter cracked / missing gasket from the oil filter
worn EGR valve

As mentioned at the beginning of the article, leave us a comment with your experience and how you found the solution, either on the article or on Facebook and we will make sure that the list will be filled to be useful to drivers facing this problem.

Allergy season is coming – Check the air filter?

Allergy season is coming - Check the air filter?

The first instinct is to make sure the air filter is clean, if not replaced immediately. However, there are a few more steps you should take. There are also many types of filters on the market – the simple ones filter only large impurities, dust particles, and calamine but do not filter spores and pollen and are not anti-allergenic. So how do we prepare?

Clean the inside of the car thoroughly
Wipe the dust vents
Sanitizes the air conditioning system (ozonation)
Replace the cabin filter with an anti-allergic one

What are the options?

There are several types of cabin air filters on the market, from simple ones for impurities to pollen ones that filter out spores and pollen, to activated charcoal filters that neutralize odors, and to antiallergic and antibacterial, which are recommended for people with asthma or severe allergies.

Among the first manufacturers to launch filters that ensure 100% filtration of the air in the passenger compartment were those from MANN FILTER, followed by other manufacturers such as Filtron, Mahle, Bosch, Valeo, Denso, Plan, UFI, Pilenga, Campion, NIPPARTS, Sakura. The price of an anti-allergy filter starts from 15 Euro and can go up to 50 Euro if you choose the OE version from a certain manufacturer.

What are the benefits of an allergy filter?

An anti-allergy filter incorporates all the technologies of the other filters in one place and gives you the best air filtration for the car interior. Thus with the purchase of a single filter, you have the best protection on the market because the filter contains 3 layers:

Particle filtration layer (stops dust and pollen)
Activated carbon coating (removes odors and gases)
Bifunctional layer (fights allergens and bacteria)

How does it protect me?

Being a filter that encompasses all 3 layers means that you and the car’s passengers have the most efficient air filtration. The advantages of the antiallergic filter are:

Captures and neutralizes allergens – no cough or stuffy nose
Filters toxic substances – diesel particles and other harmful particles
Prevents the formation of unpleasant odors – kills bacteria

When do you need to replace it?

The filter is generally replaced depending on how many km you have traveled (with the oil change) but also depending on the operating environment – in a wetter environment, it should be replaced more often. Then we need to pay attention to the following signs:

When the windshield gets steamy
When unpleasant odors appear in the passenger compartment
When you start sneezing in the car

In the end, we leave you with a study done by VW which determined that if you sneeze at a speed of 50 km / h you drive about 13 meters without seeing. But at 130 km? Leaving this issue aside, many drivers die each year from problems caused by polluted air (bronchitis, asthma), and more suffer from respiratory illnesses.

The problem is even more serious due to the congestion in the big cities, the fleet of old cars, and also the particles generated by diesel engines. Better safe than sorry.

Have you tested these filters and how much did you notice the differences from a simple filter? Write us your opinion below.

Don’t waste hours with a locked bolt!

The most annoying thing is that you can’t do your job because you can’t unscrew one or more stiff screws and nuts. Of course you can use force, pull on them, just like I did and it was enough to break and get stuck in the engine. That was not the only problem. Thus, a simple matter that lasted 10 minutes turned into a half-day job. Shall I say that the extractor also broke in the hole in the screw? BAD LUCK

I am convinced that we have all heard of all sorts of solutions on the internet such as rust-melting sprays, WD 40 that promises to unlock stiffened assemblies or the use of a pneumatic hammer to knock it open. When nothing works, what can you do? Don’t despair! There is a better solution!

Why does this blockage occur and the metal fails?

As time passes and due to the exploitation conditions and the action of oxygen or water combined with salt in winter, the metal oxidizes and thus corrosion occurs. Rust is formed on all surfaces of the metal and thus, in addition to weakening the ferrous factors, it also blocks the mechanical friction between the surfaces.

Another reason for blocked bolts or nuts is due to the very high temperature of the assembly which often welds the surfaces. This can make it almost impossible to unhook without heating the surfaces.

What can be the solution to get rid of the blockage?

If they do not come loose, my advice is not to force them if you want to have a chance to unscrew the bolt without breaking it. When all of the solutions have failed, heating is recommended as an alternative, which we also advice. Until now, many people used a burner, but such a measure can affect other parts around them and can melt rubber or plastic, which is very expensive to replace. This allows you to get rid of all the problems and time lost in such a procedure with a screw induction heater .

This heater for locking parts that are rusty or seized can be used for any metal part such as bolts, nuts, pivots, steering rods, locking bearings, fasteners, door hinges, exhaust manifold bolts, lamda (O2) sensors, studs, etc.

How does it work and what is the advantage?

The principle of operation is similar to that of an electric induction hobs. The device works on the basis of electricity and with the help of a coil it creates a variable magnetic field that heats the part in a few seconds to over 200 ° C. Due to the thermal expansion phenomenon, the screw and the metal, respectively, expand, making it easy to unscrew.

The advantage is that using this method reduces the risk of breaking the bolts or screw that you later need to replace. Also, an induction heater only affects the metal bolt without affecting other surrounding parts, so you can work in confined spaces. Also you eliminate the risk in case the screw fails and you have to use other kits to remove it, and… another wasted time.

What does such a kit contain and what is the purchase cost?

A complete kit that can be used for all locked metal parts contains:

Induction heater
End for coil attachment
Screw coil Ø10-22 mm: Temperature 300 ° C – 572 ° F: Heating time 20-25 s
Coil for Ø23-28 mm: Temperature 300 ° C – 572 ° F: Heating time 25-30 s
Screw coil Ø29-36 mm: Temperature 300 ° C – 572 ° F: Heating time 30-40 s
Screw coil Ø37-40 mm: Temperature 300 ° C – 572 ° F: Heating time 45-50 s
Flat induction coil
Shapeless induction coil that can be molded depending on the part, for heating large components such as bearings, rims, etc.
Sturdy suitcase-type kit for storage and transport

The price for such a kit can start from 400 € for a kit with several elements and can reach up to 800 € for those that have a more complete applicability. You can see, for example, a kit that contains all the above elements to make an opinion, but you can find other examples on the internet.

In conclusion, whether you are working in a tire replacement shop, service, other fields with a more special profile or you are just a mechanical enthusiast, you can take advantage of such a kit to make your work easier and thus reduce any associated risk.

January 14, 2025

Are you wondering if your diesel car needs AdBlue? In recent years, this liquid has become essential for many modern vehicles, helping them comply with strict pollution regulations.

AdBlue is a special solution composed of urea and deionized water, used by many modern diesel cars. Its primary role is to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, harmful pollutants to the environment and health. The vehicle’s SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system injects AdBlue into the exhaust gases, transforming NOx into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.

Top cars that use AdBlue:

Below is a list of major car manufacturers whose diesel models typically use AdBlue (generally those manufactured after 2015):

Volkswagen: Almost all recent diesel models, including Golf, Passat, Tiguan.
Audi: Most diesel models, such as A3, A4, A6, Q5, Q7.
BMW: A large number of diesel models, including the 3 Series, 5 Series, X3, X5.
Mercedes-Benz: Diesel models, especially those labeled “BlueTEC,” like the C-Class, E-Class, GLC, GLE.
Skoda: Diesel models like Octavia, Superb, Kodiaq.
Peugeot: Diesel models with BlueHDi technology, for example, 308, 508, 3008.
Citroën: BlueHDi diesel models, such as C4, C5 Aircross.
Renault: Many diesel dCi models, including Megane, Kadjar.
Dacia: The Duster model with Blue dCi engine (from 2018).

Important: This is just a short list. Always check your car’s manual or contact an authorized dealer to confirm whether your model requires AdBlue.

If you own a diesel car manufactured in recent years, chances are you need AdBlue. This liquid is not just a legal requirement but also an ally for a cleaner environment and optimal vehicle performance.

Make sure to use high-quality AdBlue, such as RAV AdBlue®, to enjoy all the benefits and avoid technical issues. Regular AdBlue refills are a simple responsibility with a significant positive impact!

Adrian Abrudan

December 11, 2024

The automotive industry has integrated advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to enhance vehicle safety, comfort, and efficiency. These sophisticated systems include functionalities such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB).

Technical Functioning of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

Lidar and Radar Sensors: These detect obstacles by emitting electromagnetic waves or laser pulses, which are reflected by surrounding objects. The data is processed to create highly precise 3D maps of the environment. This allows the vehicle to calculate distances and evaluate the relative speeds of nearby vehicles or obstacles.
Cameras: Essential for recognizing traffic signs, identifying road markings, and detecting pedestrians or cyclists. High-resolution cameras can analyze details even in low-light conditions or at night, providing an additional layer of safety.
AI-Based Processing: Artificial intelligence algorithms integrate data from sensors and cameras, analyze complex traffic scenarios, predict potential hazards, and issue precise commands for acceleration, braking, or steering. This enables systems to react faster than a human in critical situations.
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Communication: Many modern ADAS systems can communicate with other vehicles or road infrastructure, enabling rapid information exchange about traffic conditions or road obstacles. This technology adds an extra dimension of safety.

Recommendations for ADAS Maintenance

Cleaning Sensors and Cameras: Keeping sensors and cameras clean is essential for optimal performance. Dust, mud, or ice deposits can block radar signals or reduce the clarity of camera images. Use dedicated cleaning products and avoid abrasive substances that could scratch sensitive surfaces.
Periodic Recalibration: After major repairs, such as windshield replacement or bumper repairs involving sensors, recalibration is necessary at a specialized center. Proper calibration ensures accurate readings and prevents system malfunctions.
Regular Inspections: Schedule periodic checks at authorized service centers to ensure all system components are functioning optimally. This includes testing the radar, cameras, and processing units.
Software Updates: Automakers frequently release software updates to enhance ADAS performance and correct potential errors. Regularly connecting to an authorized service center for these updates is crucial.
Protection Against Environmental Factors: Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme conditions, such as very high or low temperatures, which can affect the performance of sensitive electronic equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions About ADAS

How can I identify problems with ADAS systems?
Warning signals on the dashboard or unpredictable performance, such as the vehicle failing to stay in the correct lane, indicate a potential issue. Immediately consult an authorized service center for diagnostics.
Is recalibration necessary after replacing the windshield?
Yes. Modern windshields often include integrated sensors and cameras. Replacing them without recalibration can result in major system errors.
Can I perform software updates myself?
Software updates should only be done at authorized centers or using the manufacturer’s official platforms. Unauthorized interventions can void the warranty and compromise vehicle safety.
How can I extend the lifespan of ADAS systems?
In addition to regular maintenance, adopt preventive driving habits, avoid minor collisions that could misalign sensors, and protect components from environmental factors. Whenever possible, park the vehicle in sheltered locations.

By understanding how ADAS systems work and following these maintenance guidelines, drivers can ensure long-term reliability, safety, and efficiency while making the most of the advanced technology integrated into their vehicles.
