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 (see Interpretation of statuses and
Interpretation of parameters).
Check the consistency of the signal for the air flowmeter, the engine coolant temperature sensor, the fuel
temperature sensor and the engine speed.
Check the connectors, the continuity, and the absence of interference resistance of the air flowmeter (apply DF056
Air flow sensor circuit), the engine coolant temperature sensor (apply DF001 Coolant temperature circuit), the
fuel temperature sensor (apply DF098 Fuel temperature sensor circuit), and the engine speed (apply DF195
Camshaft sensor - engine speed consistency).
Check:
– That the diesel filter is not clogged.
– That there are no leaks on the high and low pressure diesel circuits: run test 3 Low pressure circuit check.
– The connection of the oil vapour rebreathing circuit.
– The rail pressure regulator (MPROP) (jammed - stuck), apply the interpretation of command AC011 Rail
pressure regulator.
Check the engine timing (and the position of the high pressure pump sprocket). See the procedure in the
Workshop Repair Manual if necessary.

ALP8 Oil leaks from the turbocharger
NOTESBefore analysing this customer complaint, check that there are no faults, and the
conformity (or otherwise) of the parameters and statuses, using the diagnostic
tool.
If the customer complaint is not eliminated, perform the following checks.
Check the area around the turbocharger
Note:
An oil leak does not correspond always to a fault of the turbocharger, the oil leak can arise from the area around
the turbocharger.
Depending on the vehicle type, the best visual access will be either from above or from below.
1. Do not start the engine.
Check the area around the turbocharger and identify the origin of the leaks.
Clean the oil traces on the turbocharger.
2. start the engine and let it warm up for several minutes.
IMPORTANT
If the air filter was previously removed, refit it before starting the engine (risk of aspirating foreign bodies into the
air inlet circuit).
Accelerate with no load several times, progressively increasing the duration before releasing the accelerator pedal.
Visually inspect the exterior condition of the fuel supply pipes and the turbocharger oil return and the area around it.
Identify the origin of the leaks.
Is an oil leak present at the air compressor inlet or outlet?
YESNO

(Mégane II) or 370 (Scénic II),
Mechanical, 12A, Fuel mixture, Air
filter, Removal - Refitting).
Low pressure circuit check
Note:
Depending on the vehicle type, the best visual access will be
either from above or from below.
Visually inspect the condition of the following components:
– fresh air inlet scoop on the front panel of the vehicle,
– air inlet pipe to the air filter,
– air pipe of the filter until the compressor inlet,
– mountings of the air flowmeter.
Is one of these components incorrect (disconnected,
cut, bent, pierced or kinked pipes)?Replace the defective parts (see MR

HIGH PRESSURE PUMP
Check the fuel filter:
– Conformity of the fuel filter (correct part number and RENAULT filter),
– positioning and clogging condition of the filter cartridge,
– 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 in a clean container of approximately 5litres.
– Disconnect the diesel return pipe at the diesel temperature sensor (pump return and injector return join), and block
it using a plug.
– Connect a transparent pipe to the union of the diesel temperature sensor, and insert the other end in the container.
– 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?If the low pressure circuit is in order, reconnect
the various pipes of the low pressure circuit and
repeat the fault finding chart fault finding or of
