centre mark on the crankshaft accessories pulley must 
be in the vertical axis of the engine).
Fit the camshaft timing tools Mot. 1534 and 
Mot. 1537.
Check that the tab of Mot. 1537 moves vertically 
without constraint.

Turbocharger

12-2
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 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.

MAINTENANCE
The principal maintenance operations on this 
assembly are:
–replacing the ignition spark plug (5),
–cleaning the filter at the pump inlet (13) (see 
page 61-2).
REMOVING - REFITTING COMPONENTS 
FUEL PUMP INLET FILTER (13) 
Remove the front bumper.
Rotate the pump (12) (see page 61-2) if it turns and 
loosen the union covering the filter (13). Clean or 
replace the filter if there is a combustion problem.
IGNITION SPARK PLUG
Disconnect and remove the heater without draining  the 
cooling circuit (use pliers Mot. 453-01).
Remove:
–the turbine cover (1),
–the control unit (9) and the cap (16),
–the spark plug (5) after disconnecting it.
FLAME DETECTOR 
Disconnect and remove the heater without draining the 
cooling circuit (use pliers  Mot. 453-01).
Remove:
–the turbine cover (1),
–the control unit (9) and the cap (16).
Disconnect the flame connector by pulling the flat 
terminals from the connector.
Remove the flame detector. 
(WARNING: fragile part)COMBUSTION CHAMBER (4) AND EXCHANGER (3)
Remove:
–the flame detector and spark plug, 
–the wiring harness fitted on the overheating 
detector (8) and the temperature sensor (7),
–the turbine support (1).
Remove the combustion chamber (4) and the 
exchanger (3) if necessary.
FAULT FINDING 
In case of a fault, check:
–if there is fuel in the tank,
–if the fuses are intact
–if the pipes, connections and electrical unions are 
intact,
–if the combustion air ducts or exhaust gas ducts are 
blocked (unblock them if necessary).
In the even of combustion with the production of soot, 
check:
–if the combustion air ducts or exhaust gas ducts are 
blocked (unblock them if necessary),
–if there is a deposit in the exchanger (3) or the 
combustion chamber (4); clean these if necessary,
–if the dosing pump flow is correct; 
To do this:
●remove the bumper,
●disconnect the electric pump inlet fuel pipe (12), 
from the side opposite the fuel filter (13),
●connect a pipe to the electric pump so that the flow 
can be collected in a glass at the same height as 
the heater,
●start the heater (if necessary, bridge the 
temperature sensor located in front of the battery 
screen). After approximately 40 seconds, the fuel 
arrives and begins to bleed the circuit. Switch off 
the ignition. Empty the glass and start again, 
collecting the stabilised flow for approximately 
30 seconds. Switch off the heater and measure the 
quantity of fuel collected. 
Normal flow: between 6.8 cm
3 and 7.8 cm3 for 
90 seconds of operation.
