What problems can be caused by a faulty Turbocharger?
Car acceleration or performance is not as strong as normal
When putting your foot on the accelerator the car does not respond with the same urgency of acceleration. It feels like there is a lag between putting your foot down and the car accelerating, when it does accelerate it feels like a much slower change in speed.
Loud hiss sound from engine area
When you accelerate there's a loud hissing sound coming from the engine. The sound is similar to the sound of compressed air from a pump rather than a hissing of fluid dropping on to a boiling surface,
Engine is running rough
When the engine is running it does sound like it would normally, it can sound like it's struggling to keep running or produce strange noises that sound like it's not running in time with itself.
