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.
IMPORTANT:
In the event of the engine overheating above 118°C, the computer deliberately limits the fuel flow (overheating
warning light comes on from 115°C).
– Please observe the cleanliness guidelines and safety advice.
Note:
For the M9R 724 (Vdiag 5C and 58):
The engine is limited to 3000 rpm if the vehicle is stationary or if the vehicle speed is less than 4 mph (7 km/h)
and if the engine is warm.

Perform the following road test (looking for a loss of power when accelerating under full load):
– in the highest gear ratio, accelerate fully,
– lift your foot off the accelerator pedal completely for at least 2 seconds,
– accelerate fully again,
– release the accelerator pedal completely,
– accelerate slightly.
If the loss of power was not noted during slight acceleration and if there was a loss of engine power during each
acceleration at full load, replace the diesel fuel injector return rail and its overpressure valve (see MR364
(Mégane II ph2), MR370 (Scénic II ph2), MR 395 (Laguna II ph2), 402 (Vel Satis ph2), 405 (Espace IV ph2)
Mechanical, 13B, Diesel injection, Diesel injector fuel return rail: Removal - Refitting).
Check the connection and positioning of the differential pressure sensor (see MR 395 (Laguna II ph2), 402 (Vel
Satis Ph2), 405 (Espace IV ph2), 364 (Mégane II ph2), 370 (Scénic II ph2) Mechanical, 19B, Exhaust, Particle
filter pressure sensor: Removal - Refitting).
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
parameters).
Check the consistency of the signal from the air flowmeter, the engine coolant temperature sensor, the fuel
temperature sensor and the engine speed sensor.
Check the connections, the continuity and the absence of interference resistance of the following components:
– the air flowmeter (apply DF056 Air flow sensor circuit)
– the engine coolant temperature sensor (apply DF001 Coolant temperature sensor circuit)
– the fuel temperature sensor (apply DF098 Fuel temperature sensor circuit)
– the engine speed sensor (apply DF195 Engine speed/camshaft sensor consistency).

CONTINUEDTurbocharged air inlet circuit check
Check that there is no leak at the exhaust manifold, in particular at the exhaust manifold/turbocharger connection.
Check the exhaust, run Test 1 Exhaust pipe check.
Carry out the necessary repairs.
Visually check the EGR circuit sealing.
Note:
The operational clearance of the EGR exchanger flap shaft leaves slight traces of a black substance due to
inconsequential leakage. Do not replace this part.
– Check the condition of the intercooler:
– clogging,
– leaks (vehicle stationary, stabilise the engine speed between 3500 rpm and 4000 rpm and check that there are
no leaks).
Replace if necessary.
Check that the turbocharging pressure sensor take-off point is not blocked.
Carry out the necessary repairs
