There’s a reason diesels typically utilize compound turbo setups instead of twin turbochargers.
Why Real Twin Turbos Aren’t Seen on Diesel Engines
A noticeable trend in OEM vehicles, and the aftermarket that supports them, is a lack of twin-turbo systems. However, when it comes to performance spark-ignition engines, twin-turbo set ups appear to be fairly common, while in turbo diesels it is only seen on very strict OEM conditions and rarely in performance diesel conditions.
Around 60% of vibration-related comebacks are due to improper wheel mounting or balancing.
CV joint shafts are typically being replaced at anywhere from 70,000 to 130,000 miles.
Trying to make do with a battery charger or jumper pack can cost you more than the price of a reflash power supply. Â
The most common problems that occur in the master cylinder are wear in the piston bore and piston seal failure.
Temperature changes how the battery discharges and the amount of current that can be delivered.
The specifications for the spring and strut are linked. When one component is worn, it impacts the other.
Using a scan tool to communicate with different modules can confirm operation and the source of communication codes.
The first thing you need to realize is that no seal is perfect.
