TEST2 Low pressure circuit check
Check the fuel filter:
–Conformity of the fuel filter (correct part number and RENAULT filter).
–Positioning and amount of clogging in the filter element.
–Positioning and condition of the seals.
–If there is metal swarf in the filter:
Replace the fuel filter, bleed the circuit and continue the fault finding procedure.
Supplying the injection system with fuel from an additional tank.
This operation aims to detect possible faults in the low pressure supply system of a vehicle by replacing it entirely
with an additional tank.
Mode:
–Disconnect the diesel fuel supply pipe at the fuel filter inlet and seal it with a plug.
–Connect a pipe to the fuel filter inlet and insert the other end into a clean container which is approximately 5 litres
in volume.
–Disconnect the diesel fuel return pipe at the pump return and injector leak-off junction and seal it with a plug.
–Fill the container with clean diesel fuel.
–Start the engine and let the system drain itself of its air (there must not be any air bubbles in the return pipe).
Is the customer complaint still present?
NO
Are the low pressure circuit connections in order and
in good condition?
NO
Carry out the necessary repairs.
YESIf the low pressure circuit is in order,
reconnect the various pipes making up the
low pressure circuit and repeat the fault
finding procedure in the fault finding chart
or for the fault that referred you to this test.

Check the conformity of the fuel used by applying test 10 Diesel fuel conformity check.
If the diesel fuel is not correct:
–Replace the diesel fuel.
–Change the diesel filter.
–Bleed the low and high pressure diesel circuit.

TEST3 Checking the turbocharged air inlet circuit
Engine stopped: Check the low and high pressure
air circuit sealing (air leaks in or out, upstream or
downstream of the turbocharger).Check the parts that are abnormally greasy of the
circuit and reveal a lack of tightness.
Check:
–the condition and fitting of the ducts (foreign
bodies, clogged, disconnected, pinched, broken,
holed, cut, tightness of the mounting bolts, etc.).
–the presence, condition and fitting of the seals.
–the present and tightening of the clamps.
–The fitting of the turbocharging pressure sensor.
Carry out the necessary repairs.
Check:
–That the air filter unit inlet and outlet are not
blocked.
–The condition and fitting of the air filter unit
(disconnected, broken, perforated, etc.).
–The cleanliness, conformity and the absence of
deformation of the filter element.
–The air flow sensor: apply test 4.
Carry out the necessary repairs.
Check that there is no leak at the exhaust manifold,
in particular at the exhaust manifold/turbocharger
connection.
Check the exhaust system: apply test 1.
Carry out the necessary repairs.
Check the condition of the intercooler:
–clogging,
–leaks (vehicle stationary, stabilise the engine
speed between 3500 rpm and 4000 rpm and
check that there are no leaks).
Replace the intercooler if necessary.

TEST4 Air flowmeter
POLLUTION OF THE GRILLES:
Visual inspection: remove the flowmeter. There should be no foreign bodies in the grilles (see illustration on the
next page).
Do not clean the grilles using compressed air or any other procedure: this damages the sensors and
creates variations from the values displayed on the CLIP tool.
Check the sealing of the air circuit upstream of the air flowmeter:
disconnected or pierced pipes and air filter unit, seals present.
Replace the air flowmeter if necessary and clean upstream of this, if necessary.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENT BREAKAGE:
Visual inspection:
remove the flow sensor: the components must not be broken (see picture on following page).
Replace the air flowmeter if necessary.
OXIDATION OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS:
Visual inspection:
dismantle the air flowmeter, there should not be any green deposits on the electrical components.
Replace the air flowmeter if necessary.
CLOGGING OF THE AIR FLOWMETER:
Test:
–Check the values for conformity:
* During the first 5 seconds after starting:
–Coolant temperature: 80˚C,
–Engine speed: idle speed (800 ± 50 rpm);
–Measure the air flow: 47 kg/h ± 10.
–OCR* EGR valve: between - 10% and 0%.
* After the starting phase:
–Coolant temperature: 80˚C,
–Engine speed: idle speed (800 ± 50 rpm);
–Air flow measurement: 30 kg/h ± 5%;
–EGR valve OCR*: between 10% and 40%.
–Refer to DF056 Air flow sensor circuit 2.def, for the air flow sensor checks.
Replace the air flowmeter if necessary.

IMPORTANT
Perform these checks without removing the turbocharger and with the vehicle ignition switched off.
Check the turbocharger shaft
WARNING
Respect the following safety precautions:
–wear heat resistant gloves when the engine is hot,
–do not wear loose or baggy clothing and do not wear loose hanging jewellery,
–be aware that the cooling fan assembly may be triggered and pay attention to the operation of the accessories
belt or belts.
Note:
The turbocharger shaft is the shaft connecting the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel.
According to the vehicle type, maximum visual access will either be from above or from below.
Disconnect the air pipe located between the turbocharger and the air filter.
Wearing gloves, check the operation of the turbocharger shaft by turning the vanes manually without forcing.
Is there a point of resistance when the shaft is rotated?
Does the compressor wheel touch the turbocharger housing?
If for these 2 questions the response is NOIf YES for one of these 2 questions

WARNING
During t hisop eration, it is essential t o:
–refrain from smoking or bringing incandescent objects close to the work area,
–protect yourself against fuel splashes due to residual pressure in the pipes,
–wear safety goggles with side guards,
–wear leaktight gloves (Nitrile type).
IMPORTA NT
–To avoid any corrosion or damage, protect the areas on which fuel is likely to run.
–To prevent impurities from entering the circuit, place protective plugs on all fuel circuit components
exposed to the open air.
Preparations:
Weigh an empty 1300 ml plastic cup (part no. 77 11 171 413) with its cover (part no. 77 11 171 416) using
electronic scales such as those used in body paint workshops (example: PANDA part no. 77 11 224 995). Record
the weight of the empty plastic cup.
This type of plastic cup is used to prepare paint.
Remove 1 litre of fuel at the diesel filter outlet (see MR 364 (Mégane II) or MR 370 (Scénic II), Mechanical,
19C, Tank, Draining the fuel tank), using a pneumatic transfer pump (part no. 634-200) and place it in the
1300 ml plastic cup.
Cover the plastic cup with its cover and let it settle for approximately 2 minutes.
Is the fuel cloudy or does it
separate into two parts?YESThe diesel fuel contains water and is not compliant.
Drain the fuel circuit, including the tank (see MR 364
(Mégane II) or MR 370 (Scénic II), Mechanical, 19C,
Tank, Draining the fuel tank).
