Check the turbocharger when the engine is cold.
Also, make sure that the compressor wheel is not
rotating before inspecting the turbocharger.
If the color of the exhaust gas is abnormal, also
inspect the turbocharger.
Never touch the exhaust muffler immediately after
the engine stops, as it is extremely hot. To drain
water, wait until the exhaust muffler cools.
