Measurement of crankcase pressure
- The Leitenberger auto test equipment diagnostic tool for turbochargers and crankcase pressure measurement of exhaust back pressure offers you the possibility of measuring the crankcase pressure in a simple way. In particular, the increasing requirements and the increasingly complex vehicle technology make it essential to check the pressures while driving. Our diagnostic tool is able to measure the pressure in both the negative and positive ranges to an accuracy of one millibar. The supplied adapter for the oil filler neck means that the pressure can be measured in almost all cars. Additional special adapters can be easily reordered.
- Problems with the crankcase pressure often manifest themselves in oil loss from the turbocharger. The increased pressure causes resistance in the turbocharger's oil drain line, which means that the oil can no longer drain freely back into the oil pan. The oil is then forced through the turbocharger into the exhaust system or intake line, even if the seal is intact. Clogged filter elements can cause oil mist to enter the intake in front of the turbocharger via the crankcase ventilation exhaust hose.

Measurement of exhaust back pressure
- With the turbocharger diagnostic tool you can also measure the exhaust back pressure while driving. This measurement is very important because you often cannot rely on the values read out in the engine control unit. Due to the design, the differential pressure sensor can show you a value that is too low, which is unfortunately not correct. This is precisely why it is very important to determine the actual pressure again with a special measurement.
- Excessive exhaust back pressure can cause damage or even failure of the turbocharger. Excessive exhaust back pressure causes temperatures in the turbocharger to rise, which puts enormous strain on the charger material. It also increases the risk of coking oil and an oil fire in the bearing. In addition, axial thrust is created on the turbine shaft, which leads to increased wear on the axial bearing in the turbocharger, leading to bearing damage or total failure of the turbocharger. The uneven pressure conditions can also cause oil to leak on the compressor side. The result is poor combustion and a heavily sooty engine.

Testing the pneumatic boost pressure control
- With the turbocharger diagnostic tool, you can not only measure the crankcase and exhaust back pressure, but also check the function of the pneumatic boost pressure control. The hose on the turbocharger's control box is removed and the pressure gauge is inserted into the system using the T-piece provided. The control pressure of the control box and the function of the vacuum pump or solenoid valve can then be checked. This check can also be carried out while driving.
