IMPORTANT
Perform these checks without removing the turbocharger and with the vehicle ignition switched off.
Checking the turbocharger shaft
WARNING
Observe the following safety precautions:
–wear high temperature protective gloves when the engine is hot,
–do not wear oversize or baggy clothing or hanging jewellery,
–watch out for possible triggering of the motor-driven cooling fan unit and the operation of the accessories belt
or belts.
Note:
The turbocharger shaft is the shaft that connects the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel.
Depending on the vehicle type, the best visual access will be either 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.
Does the shaft have a kickdown point in rotation?
Does the compressor wheel touch the casing of the turbocharger?
If for these 2
questions the
response is NOIf YES for one of these 2 questions

Checking the condition of the turbocharger vanes.
Note:
This check is facilitated by using a mirror and a bulb.
Depending on the vehicle type, the best visual access will be either from above or from below.
Visually check that the compressor vanes are in good condition.
Are the vanes damaged or twisted?

Checking the turbocharging pressure regulator to determine if it is a variable geometry turbocharger
Note:
The pressure regulator rod of a variable geometry turbocharger is orthogonal to the turbocharger shaft.
Variable geometry turbochargers are controlled by a solenoid valve.
Depending on the vehicle type, the best visual access will be either from above or from below.
Note:
If necessary, according to the vehicle type and the accessibility of the pressure regulator, connect the vacuum
pump to the end of the pressure regulator pipe at the solenoid valve outlet.
Using a manual vacuum pump, apply a vacuum on the turbocharging pressure regulator of approximately
650 mbar.
1. Check that the fitting is completely leaktight.
2. Check that the control rod is resting against its stop.
3. Lock the vacuum device and check that the pressure variation is not greater than 100 mbar in 10 seconds.
4. Release the pressure and check that the control rod comes back to its initial position without jerking.
Repeat the complete sequence 3 times.
Is the pressure regulator leaktight and is the rod movement correct?
The turbocharger is correct.
End of procedure.Replace the turbocharger (see MR 364 (Mégane II), 370

Checking the turbocharging pressure regulator to determine if it is a fixed geometry turbocharger
Note:
The pressure regulator rod of a fixed geometry turbocharger is aligned with the turbocharger shaft.
Fixed geometry turbochargers are controlled by a solenoid valve.
Depending on the vehicle type, the best visual access will be either from above or from below.
Note:
If necessary, according to the vehicle type and the accessibility of the pressure regulator, connect the vacuum
pump to the end of the pressure regulator pipe at the solenoid valve outlet.
Using a manual vacuum pump, apply a vacuum on the turbocharging pressure regulator of approximately
650 mbar.
1. Check that the fitting is completely leaktight.
2. Check that the control rod moved several millimetres.
3. Lock the vacuum device and check that the pressure variation is not greater than 100 mbar in 10 seconds.
4. Release the pressure and check that the control rod comes back to its initial position without jerking.
Repeat the complete sequence 3 times.
Is the pressure regulator leaktight and is the rod movement correct?
The turbocharger is correct.

TEST 13 Diesel fuel conformity check
WARNING
During this operation, it is essential to:
–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).
IMPORTANT
–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 an
electronic scale similar to those used in body paint workshops (for example: PANDA part no. 77 11 224 995).
Record the weight of the empty cup.
This type of plastic cup is used to prepare paint.
Take a 1 l fuel sample from the diesel fuel filter outlet (see MR 364 (Mégane II) or MR 370 (Scénic II), MR 385
(Modus), MR 392 (Clio III), MR 411 (New Twingo), MR 417 (Kangoo 2), Mechanical, 19C, Tank, Fuel tank
draining), 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 approximately2 minutes.
Is the fuel cloudy or does it
separate into two parts?The 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), MR 385 (Modus), MR 392 (Clio III), MR 411
(New Twingo), MR 417 (Kangoo 2), Mechanical, 19C, Tank, Fuel

Check the fuel temperature by immersing a thermometer in the plastic cup.
End of test.The fuel is not correct.
If the fuel weight is less than the minimum value then there
is petrol in the diesel fuel.
If the fuel weight is greater than the maximum value then
there is oil in the diesel fuel.
Drain the fuel circuit, including the tank (see MR 364

Note:
If the weight measured hits the upper and lower limits, the measurement can be performed with a 2230 ml plastic
cup (part no. 77 11 171 414) and its cover (part no. 77 11 171 417):
–Carry out a quick test drive in order to mix the fuel, then remove 2 l of fuel.
–Perform the test again and check the results by multiplying the limit values by 2.
