Common Causes of Turbo Assembly Failure in Caterpillar C4.4 Engines:
-
Contaminated or Low-Quality Oil
Dirty oil or infrequent oil changes can damage the turbo's internal bearings and shaft. -
Insufficient Lubrication
A lack of oil flow at startup or during operation can cause overheating and premature wear. -
Foreign Object Damage
Debris entering the turbo through the air intake or exhaust can damage blades and housings. -
High Exhaust Temperatures
Prolonged exposure to excessive heat can lead to cracking or distortion in the turbo housing. -
Boost Leaks or Faulty Seals
