No turbocharger cool down time?
Posted: Sat Jun 03, 2006 8:39 am
Why doesn't a VW Passat TDI require a few minutes of idle time at the end of a trip, to cool down the turbocharger, and it's bearings?
My diesel pickup truck requires 1 to 5 minutes of cool down time, depending on the load it was under.
Can I lengthen the life of the turbocharger by idling my engine a few minutes?
