About Turbo Pipes
The Mercedes-Benz turbo pipe is an important component of the turbocharged engine. The turbo pipe functions to carry the air through the system in a turbo charged engine.
The turbo charger boosts the flow of compressed air and in turn increases the flow of fuel, into the combustion chamber of the engine, improving the performance of the engine, which effectively enables the car to go faster. The turbo charger attaches to the exhaust and the engine and is driven by a turbine powered by gas from the exhaust. The exhaust leaves the engine and enters the housing of the turbine which causes the turbine wheel to rotate. The power of this rotation turns a shaft connected to a compressor, forcing the compressor to spin. As the compressor rotates it sucks in clean air and forces it through into the combustion chamber, providing extra power to the engine. The turbo charger increases the engine's fuel efficiency and provides significantly more power than the engine alone, while helping to reduce CO2 emissions. It has an important part to play, therefore, in the overall performance of the engine, boosting the performance of the engine,enabling it to work as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Connected to the air turbine housing and the turbo intercooler, the metal turbo pipe is able to supply the turbo charger with the air needed to power the engine effectively.
Naturally, very high temperatures are produced as a result of this boosting /turbo charging process leading to eventual wear on the turbo pipe. A malfunctioning turbo pipe could allow air to escape and adversely affect engine power. If the turbo pipe is faulty, the warning light will illuminate on the dashboard indicating there's a fault. Seeking advice from a reputable mechanic is always advisable to ensure the right fault has been found before buying replacement parts. When replacing this part, choosing to install a good quality Mercedes-Benz turbo pipe will ensure you get a part that fits well works effectively and ultimately lasts longer.
Mercedes-Benz trivia
- Most people think of silver when they think of a Mercedes, but that iconic colour was an accident. Just before a race in 1934, the white-painted W25 was found to be 1kg over the weight limit. The paint was quickly removed, the weight limit reached, and the car won the race.
- Karl Benz obviously gave his name to the company, but the Mercedes part of the name comes from the daughter of his customer and friend, Emil Jellinek. Her name was (obviously) Mercedes, and it's still surprising that her name remains so attached to the iconic car brand.
- We all recognise that distinctive Mercedes logo, but did you know that the three points of the star represent air, land, and water? There was a point where they considered adding another point to represent space, but they decided against it in the end.
- In 1924, Mercedes Benz became the first car manufacturer to include brakes on all four of a car's wheels. Not long after, in 1931, they also added suspension springs to the corners of the Mercedes Benz 170.
- That new car smell is always a delight, but a Mercedes owner gets to choose that smell. Perfume specialist Marc vom Ende created four different car smells for Mercedes Benz, called Sports Mood, Freeside Mood, Downtown Mood, and Nightlife Mood. They all smell a bit leathery.
