HI! My vehicle is a 2.0 turbocharged diesel. one month after i buy it, it started to smoke a lot and when i got under the hood i find out that the turbocharger was letting oil into the air intake. Well i replaced it and it worked well. now it has been two weeks since I changed it and it is did the same. But now it is worst. My question is what can cause a turbo charger to go bad so quick? oh and there is a check engine light on the dashboard. When I ran a scan it shows a exhaust waste relay fault, could that have something to do with it?

Hello!
Verify the harness and the ground connection of the IAT sensor. Check also the EGR valve. I had this problem and the Suzuki guys in Rio solved it this way.
