Increasing compressor slip first manifests as a subtle loss of power before leading to more significant damage. Regular checks help detect wear before it becomes costly.
What "slip" actually means
Slip occurs when the compressor no longer rotates synchronously with the crankshaft, usually due to wear on the drive. The result is lower boost pressure at the same engine speed, which manifests as weaker acceleration.
Keep an eye on boost pressure
With M-JET DIAGNOSTIC, you can monitor boost pressure over several journeys and detect a gradual decrease long before it becomes noticeable in everyday use.
