Symptoms

Is black smoke coming out of the exhaust of your turbocharged vehicle? That could be a sign of turbocharger damage. No problem for the TurboExperts. The professionals at our partner workshops are specialists in this field and will get you back on the road in no time at all.

Black smoke occurs in vehicles with turbochargers, for example, if the fuel or injection system is defective or incorrectly adjusted. This problem can be remedied immediately and without much effort.

However, black smoke is usually also a sign that the turbocharger has already been damaged as a result. But even then, black smoke is not yet a major problem. Our TurboExperts are specially trained for such defects and can therefore help you in any case, not only with turbocharger-specific problems.

Black smoke from the exhaust will soon be a thing of the past for you if you contact one of our competent specialist workshops. Our specialist workshops are a favorable alternative to brand-affiliated workshops. No matter what model or make you drive, it doesn't matter to us. Whether it's black smoke, blue smoke or a tire change, turn to one of our partner workshops with confidence and your car problems will soon be history for you.
 

Possible causes:

  • Leakage or deformation in the boost pressure line
  • Fouling of the air filter or sooting of the charge air cooler
  • Exhaust gas buildup due to fault in exhaust gas purification system
  • Turbocharger bearing damage
  • Foreign body damage to compressor or turbine
