  Caution
If the turbocharger has suffered mechanical damage (e.g. damaged compressor wheel), it is not sufficient merely to fit a new turbocharger. To prevent this from causing further damage, perform the following repairs:
t  Check air filter housing, air filter element and intake hoses for soiling.
t  Check complete charged air routing and charge air cooler for foreign objects.
If foreign matter is found in the charge air system, clean all relevant ducts and hoses and renew the charge air cooler if necessary.
When working on the turbocharger, pay careful attention to the following rules:
t  Thoroughly clean all joints and connections and the surrounding areas before dismantling.
t  Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover. Use only lint-free cloths.
t  If repairs cannot be carried out immediately, carefully cover or seal open components.
t  Install only clean parts: only remove replacement parts from packaging immediately prior to installation. Do not use any parts which have not been stored in their packaging (e.g. in a tool box).
t  Existing transport and protective packaging and sealing caps must only be removed immediately prior to installation.
t  When making repairs, remove oil from connection and hose ends.
t  When the system is open: Do not use compressed air. Do not move vehicle.
