Fault finding – Cleanliness guidelines
I - RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTAMINATION
The high pressure direct injection system is highly sensitive to contamination. The risks associated with
contamination are:
–damage to or destruction of the high pressure injection system,
–components jamming,
–a component leaking.
All After-Sales operations must be performed under very clean conditions. This means that no impurities (particles a
few microns in size) should have entered the system during dismantling.
The cleanliness principle must be applied from the filter to the injectors.
What are the sources of contamination?
metal or plastic swarf,
–paint,
–fibres:
–from cardboard,
–from brushes,
–from paper,
–from clothing,
–from cloths,
–foreign bodies such as hair,
–ambient air,
–etc.
II - NOTES TO BE FOLLOWED BEFORE ANY OPERATION
Check that you have plugs for the unions to be opened (set of plugs available from the Parts Department). The plugs
are single-use only. After use, they must be discarded (once used they are soiled and cleaning is not sufficient to
make them reusable). Unused plugs must be discarded.IMPORTANT
Cleaning the engine using a high pressure washer is prohibited because of the risk of damaging connections. In
addition, moisture may collect in the connectors and create electrical connection faults.
IMPORTANT
Before any work is carried out on the high pressure injection system, protect:
–the accessories and timing belts,
–the electrical accessories, (starter, alternator, electric power-assisted steering pump),
–the flywheel surface, to prevent any diesel from running onto the clutch friction plate.

Is the engine running on all cylinders?
NO
Check the operation of the injectors: apply test 8 Incorrect injector
operation.
If the fault is still present
Check the conformity of the accelerator pedal position sensor, the brake pedal sensor, the atmospheric pressure
sensor, the exhaust gas recirculation valve and the damper valve.
–Check the consistency of the signal: of the air flowmeter, of the engine coolant temperature sensor, of the fuel
temperature sensor and of the engine speed.
Check the connections, continuity and absence of interference resistance on the air flow sensor (apply DF056 Air
flow sensor circuit, 2.def), the engine coolant temperature sensor (apply DF001 Coolant circuit, 1.def), and the
engine speed (apply DF195 Camshaft sensor/engine speed consistency, 2.def).
Check: – That the diesel filter is not clogged (for the test, see DF053 Rail pressure regulation function
2.def).
–That there are no leaks on the high and low pressure diesel circuits: apply test 3 Turbocharged
air inlet circuit check.
–That the oil vapour rebreathing system is connected.
–The flow regulator (blocked/seized, apply the interpretation for command: AC011 Rail pressure
regulator).
–Check the timing setting (and the position of the high pressure pump sprocket) (see MR 364 (MEGANE II) or
370 (SCENIC II), Mechanical, 11A, Top and front of engine).
–Check the cylinder compressions (balance of the cylinder compressions with the Compression test function
on the CLIP Technic diagnostic tool).
–Measure the engine compressions using the special tool.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.YES
