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 - refitting
The method for removing/refitting the PK1 G9T 
gearbox is the same as for the G8T engine. 
See Workshop Repair Manual 315 section 21 
"Transmission: removing/refitting the  PK1 
gearbox".
Please observe the recommendations for bleeding the 
hydraulic clutch system given in Technical Note 
3345A when refitting.
IMPORTANT:
The TDC sensor (1) may be moved during the gearbox 
removal/refitting operation. 
If necessary, push this until it is in contact with the 
backing plate.
Too great a gap could cause a starting fault which is 
not visible on the fault finding tool.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The heater is fitted with an igniter appropriate for the 
vehicle fuel.
It operates in two power levels: 
–1˚)   Low speed:
●Power: 1600 Watts,
●Fuel consumption: 0.2 l/hour.
–2˚)   High speed:
●Power: 3300 Watts.
●Fuel consumption: 0.4 l/hour.
When the engine is started, the heater is operated at 
high speed; circulation of the coolant inside the 
exchanger is ensured by the vehicle coolant circuit.

–Range a:

Coolant temperature measured inside the heater.SAFETY SYSTEMS
The system is fitted with several safety features; it cuts 
out:
–if the difference in coolant temperature read by the 
two internal  heater sensors reaches 15 ˚C,
–if the coolant temperature reaches 120 ˚C (different 
safety features than reading 85˚), 
–if the flame detector does not detect combustion, 
(notably the heater fuel pump),
–if the battery voltage is greater than 16 volts or less 
than 10 volts.
Other safety devices:
–when the heater does not light 90 seconds after the 
supply of fuel is started, the starting procedure is 
repeated. If, during the following 90 seconds the 
system still does not start, the emergency stop is 
engaged. 
–if the flame extinguishes during operation the starting 
procedure is repeated. If the heater does not start up 
in the following 90 seconds, the emergency stop is 
engaged.
–in the event of overheating (lack of coolant, 
incorrectly drained cooling circuit...), the overheating 
switch reacts, the fuel supply is stopped and the 
emergency stop is engaged. The heater can be 
restarted after the source of overheating has been 
eliminated and the heater has cooled sufficiently.
SWITCHING OFF
To temporarily disconnect the heater (operation with 
engine running in an enclosed space, noises when 
cold,...), disconnect the connector (15) (page 61-2). 
If possible, check that the heater engages after it is 
reconnected.
The main F49 (70 A) fuse on the engine 
intercommunication unit supplies the additional 
heating system.

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.

662AIR CONDITIONING
Air conditioning compressor
The G9T  engine vehicle is fitted with a variable 
geometry air conditioning compressor; that is, the 
compressor adapts the flow of refrigerant fluid 
according to a difference in pressure between the 
compressor inlet and outlet, and not according to the 
temperature read by the sensor (omission of the 
evaporator sensor). 
The system cannot be adjusted
The pressure relief valve is still present but calibrated 
differently.
REMOVAL
Put the vehicle on a 2 post lift.
Disconnect the battery.
Drain the refrigerant circuit (see special  "AIR 
CONDITIONING" manual).
Remove:
–the front right wheel,
–the right-hand wheel arch cover,
–the lower engine cover,
–the air exchanger/throttle body unit pipe after 
disconnecting it,.
–the accessories belt (see methods in section 07 
"Accessories belt"),Unscrew the two mounting clamps on the compressor 
refrigerant pipes and carefully plug the openings.
Unscrew the four mounting bolts from the air 
conditioning compressor and remove it.
REFITTING
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Refrigerant fluid R134a: 800 ± 20 g
