← TechnologyWhich failure is accelerated when a turbocharger experiences significant oil deterioration?
A)Bearing wear and impeller damage✓
B)Intercooler icing from water vapor
C)Wastegate valve sticking closed
D)Catalytic converter thermal runaway
💡 Explanation
Bearing wear and impeller damage accelerates in a turbocharger with oil deterioration because insufficient lubrication leads to increased friction via adhesive wear therefore, mechanical components fail. Rather than intercooler icing, wastegate issues, or catalytic breakdown this happens under severe operation lubrication.
