Check the high pressure pump by running
TEST 6 High pressure system check.The vehicle has entered the "Flow capacity
function" program. This function is activated more
easily when: the external temperature is high, the
fuel level in the tank is at 1/4, the vehicle is laden
and if the vehicle speed is high. Is the "Flow capacity function"
programming active (ET563)?
Check the computer:
Check that the computer connectors are
properly locked.
Check the condition of the computer
connections (bent pin, signs of corrosion,
silicone, etc.).
If the connector(s) is faulty and if there is a
repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A,
Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring:
Precautions for repair), repair the connector,
otherwise replace the wiring.Check the diesel filter.
Has the diesel fuel filter reached its full mileage?
Replace the diesel filter (see MR 364 (Mégane II)
or MR 370 (Scénic II), Mechanical, 13A, Fuel
supply, Fuel filter: Removal - Refitting).

NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool.
If the noise arises from the turbocharger, apply Technical Note 5164A, Noise fault finding.
Note:
Pay close attention to faulty components that might result in unjustified replacement of the turbocharger. For
example, whistling does not necessarily indicate damage to the turbocharger (this could be coming from the
exhaust, the timing, the gearbox, etc.).
