Turbo issues on New Holland skidsteer

[Combine Pilot]

I have a little issue with the turbo on our skidsteer. I had oil coming out the exhaust so i took the intake hose off the turbo and this fell out of the hose.

So then i pulled the turbo off to take a look at it and saw this.

So then i pulled the hose off from the turbo to the intake and found this coating the inside of the hose.

The hose had quite a few filings in it. They are all small and powdery and i don't see any big chunks out of the wheel. Will these small filings cause me any issues and should i be cleaning anything else out?

I know its not a Dmax but everyone here seems fairly knowledgeable about engines and turbos. :thumb:

no good!

Thats what i thought as it is dumping lots of wet snow while i'm working in the shop. Long weekend here too so gotta wait for Tuesday to get a new turbo.

where did the nut come from?

 

[Combine Pilot]

It's the one that holds the compressor wheel on the shaft. You can't tell in the picture but there is no nut on the shaft anymore.

All those particles went into the cylinders ughh! Some engines have a heat exchanger in the intake manifold assembly that should be cleaned out but the particle size on your finger means that most of the debris went into the engine. Warranty?

No warranty. :damnit: I looked down in the intake manifold and i didn't see a whole bunch of filings, mostly oil. I'm just worried that those filings will score the cylinder walls.

well thats what i thought but I couldn't tell in the pic, ouch

 

[messejme]

I would think the particle are an aluminum alloy which is soft compared to the rings and cylinder walls so scoring would be minimal or non existant from that but they could jam in the top ring land and force the ring into the cylinder wall by not allowing the ring to move freely in the land to compensate for thermal expansion. Unless you want to tear the engine apart fix the turbo and run it hoping for the best.

Is the inducer of the turbo an aluminum alloy? most are but no all.

 

[Combine Pilot]

It seems like its aluminum. I am going to get a new turbo, air filters and change the oil. I think i will run it for a day or two and then change the oil again. Sound logical?

 

[RKTMech]

Compression and leak down test will give you current state of rings, Bore scope to look inside cylinders another option. But clean the best you can and run it, if it starts to lay over then rebuild.

I think anything that wouldve happend has. Id say run it until it needs work.

What model skid?


Youre going to love the price tag those turbos carry.

It's an 07 L175. We put a turbo on it a couple years ago cause the main shaft broke and now i can do it again. I think the last turbo was about $2000. Motor was redone two winters ago because someone (my dad) tipped it on its front with a snow bucket full of wet sticky snow and the engine was not getting oil while he was trying to get it tipped back on its wheels and spun a main bearing. Come to think of it that is why we changed the turbo too.

That series is terrible. We always had them in for engine issues. Had one with 22hrs get a complete rebuild.

I needed a turbo for our old Ls170. $1,800. Found one at worthignton for $400. Yet they wanted $150 foe the rear light bar. I said i could get a new one for $100. They checked and said okay $50.

The smaller they are the more they are. Just bought one for my jetta. $900.

Get a Kubota Engine next time they are strong like bull!

Then you have to turn to the dark sode

 

[Combine Pilot]

Well, $1882 and four days till its here. Hope it doesn't snow or blow much before next week.

Even our duramax motors are half dark side(GM and Isuzu engineered). Go with the best built and engineered product is the most economical in the long run.

How is it half dark side? I meant Bobcat by dark side.

If you thought I meant japanese, NH used IHI Shibura engines. Our Cat's use Mitsubishi's and their D series bigger models use a Kubota.

Japanese engineering when it comes to small diesels is unsurpassed.
