You’ve heard the stories and we have too. A turbo fails and the owner has been quoted a $7,000 repair.
That’s enough to make anyone angry.
But because of the need for EGR systems to keep diesel engines in compliance with the increasing EPA regulations, more and more people find themselves in this situation.
An EGR system may make the diesel engine more environmentally friendly, but it’s often expensive to fix. And they seem to fail often.
And there’s the added challenge of few options for the customer. The variable geometry turbo has been a captive product for a long time, leaving few choices for people facing a costly repair.
So what do you do? Delete the VGT or EGR, risking fines and other penalties, or pay the high costs to fix it right?
In this post, we’re going through exactly what makes these systems so frustrating for customers, and what you can do to help effectively reduce the cost of your repairs.
Why Do People Dislike the Diesel Engine EGR Systems?
Issues Caused by Failures
When this system fails, it’s almost never just the one problem. It tends to cause issues and failures elsewhere in your engine.
If your VGT fails, for example, you might also see downstream failures in the exhaust system. Your DPF might be damaged, or the SCR.
You might suddenly find yourself looking at $15,000 in damages, just because the exhaust system isn’t performing like it should. So, it’s not surprising that many people just want to pull it off.
Problems With Removing the EGR System
While it might be tempting to remove your EGR system, it might not be the best route. Many people are getting fined for this, as well as other penalties.
And, it’s getting more difficult to find a shop that will work on a deleted engine, let alone take off the EGR system, because the EPA is fining repair shops as well. That’s because it’s a federal violation to delete your engine.
How to Make Your EGR System Repair More Affordable
Luckily, we have a solution for you. We have turbos that are more durable, and with the issues that caused frequent failures resolved.
How Our Turbo is Different
We’ve purchased enough turbos to know what fails inside them: that’s how we can do this differently than other suppliers. We have enough cores to make good turbos.
In most cases, you can’t get new parts unless you go to the OEM, because they have the patents and rightly enforce them.
But now we have the technology that allows us to rebuild their original product just as well, and in many cases, even better. We’re looking to sell you a solution.
How HHP Can Help
We believe that our turbo is better than everyone else’s.
You’ll be getting a new actuator rather than a remanufactured one.
And, we’re going to try to help you figure out what caused your turbo to fail.
There are many in the industry who aren’t familiar with why your turbo is failing. But we are.
Whether it’s an EGR cooler, pressure sensors, or an EGR valve, we’ll help you get to the root problem. This will help you fix the problem now, as well as helping to prevent future issues.
That $7,000 turbo, you ask? There’s a decent chance it’s less than half that at HHP.
