Engine ATW

Symptoms:
- Loss of power and poor acceleration
- Rough idling or engine misfires
- Excessive oil consumption or smoke from the exhaust
- Check engine light illumination
- Turbo lag or boost pressure issues

Diagnosis:
- Inspect for vacuum leaks and intake system cracks causing boost leaks
- Check ignition components: spark plugs, coils, and wires for wear or damage
- Perform a compression test to assess engine health
- Scan for fault codes related to sensors (MAF, MAP, oxygen sensors)
- Examine turbocharger for shaft play, oil leaks, or damaged vanes
- Verify proper operation of the fuel injection system and fuel pressure

Fixes:
- Replace worn or faulty spark plugs and ignition components to restore smooth running
- Repair or replace cracked intake hoses and vacuum lines to eliminate boost leaks
- Service or rebuild the turbocharger if excessive shaft play or oil leakage is found
- Clean or replace clogged fuel injectors and ensure correct fuel pressure
- Change engine oil and filter regularly to prevent turbo and engine wear
- Replace faulty sensors triggering engine management errors
- Address any gasket leaks, especially the valve cover gasket, to reduce oil consumption

Prevention:
- Use high-quality synthetic oil and change it at recommended intervals to protect turbo and engine internals
- Regularly inspect and maintain the intake and vacuum system to prevent leaks
- Follow scheduled maintenance for ignition and fuel systems
- Avoid prolonged high RPM driving to reduce stress on the turbocharger
- Use OEM or high-quality replacement parts for repairs to ensure reliability
- Monitor engine performance and address issues promptly to prevent further damage
