2001 NISSAN ALMERA N16 wheel

WARNING:
+Position vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
+Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
+Do not remove engine until exhaust system has com-
pletely cooled off, otherwise, you may burn yourself
and/or fire may break out in fuel line.
+Before disconnecting fuel hose, release pressure.
Refer to EC-38, ªFuel Pressure Releaseº.
+Be sure to lift engine and transaxle in a safe manner.
+For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach
proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:
+When lifting engine, be sure to clear surrounding parts.
Use special care near accelerator wire casing, brake lines
and brake master cylinder.
+When lifting the engine, always use engine slingers in a
safe manner.
+When removing drive shaft, be careful not to damage
grease seal of transaxle.
+Before separating engine and transaxle, remove crank-
shaft position sensor (POS) from the cylinder block
assembly.
+Always be extra careful not to damage edge of crankshaft
position sensor (POS), or signal plate teeth.
Engine cannot be removed separately from transaxle. Remove
engine with transaxle as an assembly.
REMOVALNJEM0022S011. Drain coolant from radiator and cylinder block. Refer to LC-17,

Trouble Diagnosis of Turbocharger=NJEM0104S0206Preliminary check:
+Check that the engine oil level is between MIN and MAX of the
dipstick. (When the engine oil amount is more than MAX, the
oil flows into the inlet duct through the blow-by gas passage,
and the turbocharger is misjudged failure.)
+Ask the customer if he/she always runs the vehicle in idle
engine speed to cool the oil down after driving.
+Replace the turbocharger assembly when any malfunction is
found after unit inspections specified in the table below.
+If no malfunction is found after the unit inspections, judge that
the turbocharger body has no failure. Check the other parts
again.
