TURBOCHARGING

Special precautions
• Before refitting, make sure that the lubrica-
tion is correct for the turbocharger bearings.
To do this, first disconnect the diesel pump co-
ded solenoid valve (to stop the engine starting
up) and then operate the starter.
Plenty of oil should be supplied by the oil sup-
ply pipe. (Place a container underneath to
catch the oil.) If this is not the case, change the
lubrication pipe.
• Ensure that no foreign bodies enter the tur-
bine or compressor during the refitting opera-
tion.
• If there has been a fault in the turbocharger,
check that the air-air exchanger is not full of
oil.
If the air-air exchanger is full of oil, it must be
removed, flushed with a cleaning agent and
then left to drain properly.
• Check that the turbocharger oil return pipe is
not partially or completely blocked by scale.
Also check that it is absolutely leak-tight
(crimping). If it is not, replace it.
IMPORTANT :
Before starting the engine, ensure the connector
for the solenoid valve on the diesel injection
pump is still disconnected.
Activate the starter motor until the oil pressure
warning light extinguishes. (Keep operating it for
several seconds.)
Reconnect the diesel pump solenoid valve. Wait
for the warning light to extinguish and start the
engine.
Run the engine at idling speed and check that
there are no leaks at the connections for oil and
water.
REFITTING - Special points
Proceed in reverse order to removal. When refit-
ting the turbocharger, ensure that the self-locking
nuts securing the turbocharger on the exhaust
manifold and the nuts for the turbine outlet el-
bow are replaced with new nuts.
