I'm sure some of you will find this interesting.
Another example of why you shouldn't ignore DPF problems. We've been decoking the turbocharger on an IDTEC tonight and I took plenty of pics to share with you guys.
The turbo charger was completely jammed due to soot and gunk build up around the vanes, which meant the actuator couldn't move the vanes..
We've also removed the DPF on this one and carried out our Stage 1 DPF OFF.
The design of the turbo/exhaust system on the Accord IDTEC means that the turbo sits off the DPF so any soot that can't get out of the system is going to be blown straight back up and into the exhaust side of the turbocharger... with excessive heat, that soot is going to turn into much harder gunk, restricting the free movement of the vanes and eventually causing it to jam up.
Luckily we managed to save this one... and it's now as free and smooth as a new one.
