CHECKING
The oil pressure should be checked when the engine 
is warm (approximately 80°C).
USE
Connect the pressure gauge in place of the oil 
pressure switch.

In operation, the pressure should stabilise at 
210 ± 3.5 mbar.

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.

REMOVAL
Put the vehicle on a two post lift.
Disconnect the battery.
Remove:
–the lower engine cover,
–the air exchanger/damper unit pipe after 
disconnecting the electrics.
Place hose pliers on the oil tank/power assisted 
steering pump return pipe and disconnect the pump.
Separate the power steering reservoir without 
disconnecting the pump and move it on the side 
member.Remove:
–the turbocharger/exchanger air pipe mounting bolts 
from the cylinder head,
–the stiffening bracket (1) between the damper unit 
and the power assisted steering pump mounting,
–the exhaust gas recirculation pipe (2) and the seals. 
Plan for the replacement of the pipe and the seals 
when refitting.
Disconnect the exhaust gas recirculation control 
solenoid valve connector.

REMOVAL
Put the vehicle on a 2 post lift.
Disconnect the battery.
Bleed the engine cooling circuit and engine oil; do not 
refit the oil drain plug.
Remove:
–the front right wheel,
–the right-hand wheel arch cover.
Remove the four mounting bolts of the coolant pump 
cover.
Lock the crankshaft using a screwdriver in the starter 
crown.
Remove the 30 hub lock nut from the coolant pump.Remove the coolant pump sprocket using the 
U 14 L FACOM hub extractor
REFITTING
Replace the coolant pump. 
WARNING: the rest of the coolant will drop into the 
engine housing.
Ensure that the mating surface on the pump is clean 
and that the coolant escapes from the engine housing 
(oil change).
Refitting is the reverse of removal.

OIL CAPACITY : 
–Maximum: 2.8 l 
–Minimum: 2.3 l
OIL LEVEL
The oil level is adjusted using a locally manufactured 
dipstick, inserting into the oil filler hole (2) (see 
Technical Note 2579A).
To check the level it is necessary to remove the left 
hand front wheel and the left hand wheel arch cover. 
The oil can also be changed and refilled with the 
recommended quantity.
1 Drain plug
2 Fuel filler cap
WARNING: the fuel filler cap (2) should not be used to 
check the level by overfilling; using too much oil may 
damage the seals and overheat the oil. Marks to graduate:
–B: 22 ± 0.5 mm
–C: 30 ± 0.5 mm
