Turbocharger – Overview
Turbocharger(s)
CAUTION: Do not switch off the engine
while it is running at high speed. If the
engine is switched off while it is running
at high speed, the turbocharger will
continue to run after the engine oil
pressure has already dropped to zero. This
will cause premature wear in the
turbocharger bearings.
A TC consists of an exhaust turbine located in the
exhaust gas flow, this turbine is connected to a
compressor by a shaft. The turbine is made to
rotate by the exhaust gas flow from the engine and
thus drives the compressor. The compressor
increases the pressure in the engine intake tract
so that a greater mass of air enters the cylinder
during the intake stroke.
The turbine housing of the TC is integrated into the
exhaust manifold. This construction offers
thermodynamic advantages compared with the
usual construction, the maximum exhaust
temperature is up to 1050°C.
The maximum boost pressure is 0.65 bar.
The exhaust manifold is secured to the exhaust
side of the cylinder head with 12 self-locking nuts.
The exhaust manifold gasket is a multi-layer steel
gasket and cannot be reused. In order to
compensate for the thermal expansion of the
exhaust manifold, the flange of the TC is provided
with two grooves.
The TC and the exhaust manifold are joined by a
hose clip. The hose clip must not be loosened or
removed. The TC and the exhaust manifold are
not available as separate replacement parts,
exchange is only possible as a complete unit.
The turbocharger heat shield is secured to the
exhaust manifold by four bolts. Two of the bolts
have spring washers underneath their heads.
During removal, make a note of the installation
location of the spring washers to refer to during
installation.
The recirculated air valve is built into the TC
housing and cannot be changed.
The Ford diagnostic unit can test the operation of
the wastegate control valve using actuator
diagnosis.
The boost pressure regulator is set in the factory.
Adjustments to the boost pressure regulator must never be attempted. A red colored seal is applied
to the adjustment nut of the operating rod, in order
to monitor the factory setting of the boost pressure.
The bearings of the TC are lubricated with engine
oil. The engine oil passes from the cylinder block
through the oil supply pipe to the TC. The oil is
returned to the oil pan through the oil return pipe,
The TC is cooled by the engine coolant circuit.
When installing hoses and lines, make certain that
their ends are free of oil residues and dirt.

System Operation
Smart Start
The PCM enables the starting process when a key
providing a valid code is read via the PATS. This
code is then verified in the GEM and compared
with the saved code. If this code is recognized as
correct, synchronization with other modules is
carried out. After successful synchronization, the
engine is cleared to start in the PCM. The PCM
connects earth to the starter relay, which then
connects power to the starter solenoid. As soon
as the engine reaches a certain speed, the PCM
disconnects the starter relay and so turns off the
starter. This protects the starter.
If the engine does not turn or turns only slowly, the
starting process is aborted by the PCM.
The starter is notactivated if:
• the engine is running (i.e. the engine speed is above a particular value),
• the PATS does not permit the engine to be started,
• the clutch pedal is not operated (vehicles with manual transmission),
• the gear selector level is not set to P or N (vehicles with automatic transmission),
• the brake pedal is not operated (vehicles with automatic transmission).
Emergency starting function
If the keyless vehicle system is unable to recognize
the passive key, the vehicle can be started via the
emergency starting function. In this case, there is a passive key mount on the
steering wheel. A PATS transmission/reception
unit is attached to this.
To start the engine, the passive key must be
inserted into the passive key mount. The Start/Stop
button can then be used to turn on the ignition and
start the engine as normal. To deactivate the
PATS, a transponder is fitted in the passive key,
which is read by the transmission/reception unit.
