Advice
Diesel vehicles equipped with a Turbo
Never stop the engine without having first allowed it to run at idle for a few seconds, thus allowing the turbo to return to normal speed.
Do not press the accelerator pedal as the ignition is being switched off. This could severely damage the turbo unit.
DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE IN A CLOSED SPACE OR IN ONE THAT IS INSUFFICIENTLY VENTILATED.
