- 2018 encore
My daughter's 2018 Encore had it's turbocharger disintegrate internally a few days ago. It over-pressurized the oil return line and ruptured it, but fortunately the engine was immediately turned off, due to massive smoke clouds.
I replaced the turbo, which is truly a job straight out of hell, and the front catalytic converter. The car runs fine.
EXCEPT it is stuck in limp mode with no active OBD codes. It does have a Permanent Underboost code in, though, which is not surprising.
I believe the permanent underboost code is causing the limp mode ...hopefully.
How do I get that to clear??
