Case 600 Steiger Field Call-Out ๐ง๐
Called out to a Case 600 Steiger with the turbo glowing red hot under load.
After diagnosing the issue, we found the boost O-ring had split in half, causing a significant boost leak. Without the correct boost pressure, the engine was over-fuelling in an attempt to make power, resulting in excessive exhaust temperatures and the red-hot turbo.
A small component causing a big problem! After replacing the faulty O-ring and restoring boost pressure, the engine was back performing as it should.
