FAQs
Q1: How do I verify if this TD04HL-13G turbocharger fits my KATO excavator?
Please check the nameplate on your current turbocharger for the part number 49189-00800 or the Mitsubishi OEM number ME080442. Since the 4D31T engine is a legacy model with several configurations, matching the 10-digit Mitsubishi part number is the most reliable way to ensure a correct fit.
Q2: Is this turbocharger water-cooled or oil-cooled?
This TD04HL-13G model is Oil Cooled. It relies on the engine's oil circulation for both lubrication and cooling of the bearing housing. Jargon definition: Oil-cooled turbos are reliable for simple mechanical diesel engines but require clean oil to prevent "coking" (oil carbonization) in the housing.
Q3: What is the recommended maintenance for turbos on construction sites?
On high-dust construction sites, ensure your Air Filter is checked and replaced regularly. A clogged air filter can cause a vacuum that pulls oil past the turbo seals. Also, always prime the new turbo with fresh oil before the first start to protect the precision bearings.
Q4: What type of warranty do you provide for heavy excavation work?
We understand that excavators are the backbone of the job site, which is why we stand behind our quality with full technical support for machine owners and maintenance workshops worldwide.
Q5: Do you provide worldwide shipping? What is the delivery timeframe?
We ship globally via premium carriers like DHL, FedEx, and UPS, as well as sea freight for bulk orders. In-stock items are typically dispatched within 24–48 hours. Express delivery to North America and Europe usually takes 5–7 business days.
