Checking |
If the basic charging pressure cannot be adjusted then check the wastegate as follows:
1. |
Undo the hose clip on the turbocharger pressure pipe and bend the bypass pipe aside.
|
2. |
Remove the exhaust manifold heat shield. The heat shield is attached with a nut and two clips underneath.
|
3. |
Undo the three bolts securing the front exhaust system to the turbocharger.
|
4. |
Remove the circlip and unhook the pushrod from the valve operating arm.
|
5. |
Observe whether the flap valve abuts firmly against the turbine housing. Check for carbon deposits, etc.
|
6. |
Check that the arm moves easily.
|
7. |
Refit the circlip and hook on the pushrod.
|
9. |
Fit the heat shield. Press on the left clip first. Apply Molykote 1000 (part no. 30 20 971) to the stud.
