Test pressurisation of the charge air cooler and pressure pipes, 4-cyl.

Test pressurisation of the charge air cooler and pressure pipes, 4-cyl.

To remove


1. Remove the bypass pipe.


Note

There is an O-ring on the bypass pipe attachment to the turbo intake pipe.


2. Remove the exhaust manifold heat shield. The heat shield is attached with a nut and two clips underneath.

3. Detach the hose from the turbocharger outlet. Fit plug 83 94 595 Plug, turbocharger hose in the hose.

4. Remove the engine cover.

5. Detach the air pipe from the throttle body. Remove the hose elbow.

6. Fit a section of hose with an inside diameter of 50 mm and a length of 50 mm on the pipe.


7. Fit the plug, 83 95 030 Plug, turbo hose , into the turbocharger delivery pipe. Connect the pressure gauge equipment, 83 93 514 Boost pressure gauge .

8. Connect pressure/vacuum pump 30 14 883 Pressure/vacuum pump to the bypass valve. Generate a pressure of approx. 1 bar.

Important

Be extremely careful when pressurising the turbo system. Excessive pressure may damage hoses and connections.


9. Connect an air gun 83 93 514 Boost pressure gauge to the pressure measuring equipment and carefully create a pressure of approx. 1 bar.

10. Make sure that the pressure does not drop by more than 0.1 bar in 30 seconds. If the pressure drop is greater than this or if there is an audible hissing sound, check hoses, pipes and connections for leaks.

11. Check the hoses/pipe and compressed air gun for leaks using leak detection fluid, part No. 30 20 385 or similar.

12. If no leak is found in the hoses or pipes, carry out test pressurisation on the removed charge air cooler.

13. Remove the charge air cooler, see Charge air cooler, 4-cyl. .

14. Fit the inlet and outlet hoses on the charge air cooler and plug one of the hoses. Connect the pressure measuring equipment to the other hose.


15. Connect a compressed air gun to the pressure gauge and carefully build up a pressure of about 1 bar.

16. Check that the pressure does not fall by more than 0.1 bar in 30 seconds. If the pressure drop is greater than this or a hissing sound is heard, check the hoses, pipes and connections for leaks. Use leak detection fluid, part no. 30 20 385, or similar.


To fit

Note

Fit new O-rings greased with non-acidic Vaseline.

Spray the connectors with Kontakt 61 contact cleaner, part No. 30 04 520.

Coat the studs with Molycote 1000, part no. 30 20 971, or similar.


Important

To reduce the risk of hoses mounted on the delivery side of the turbocharger coming loose due to low friction at high air pressure, the hoses and connecting pieces must be cleaned thoroughly before fitting. Use a rag dampened with 93 160 907 Motip Dupli cleaning agent to wipe clean inside the ends of the hoses. Clean the connecting pieces as well. If hose clips are rusty or damaged, they must be replaced so the correct clamping force is maintained.


Fit in reverse order.
