IMPORTANT: Never attempt to remove the 
turbocharger with the engine in place; you will not be 
able to follow the recommendations for refitting the oil 
supply pipe (1) and the constraints created by blind 
tightening the connection (3) will lead to the pipe (1) 
rupturing in service.
Fit:
–the pipe (1) to the turbocharger by tightening the 
union (3) by hand,
–the turbocharger, by holding the union (4) and 
tightening it manually. Tighten the turbocharger 
mountings on the manifold to a torque of 2.7 daN.m.
Tighten the unions (4), then (3).
IMPORTANT: It is essential to change the special seal 
at the turbocharger oil inlet union (3).
Before running the engine, disconnect the pressure 
rail sensor connector (5).
Then run the starter motor until the oil pressure 
warning light goes out (persist for a few seconds).
Reconnect the sensor, preheat and start the engine.Run the engine at idling speed and check that there 
are no leaks at the oil connections.
Using the fault finding tool, erase the fault as a result 
of the sensor being disconnected.
Special precautions
●Ensure that no foreign bodies enter the turbine or 
compressor during the refitting operation.
●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. Check 
also that it is perfectly tight. If not, replace it.
