Fault Diag Procedure
Low engine power output / little movement on the turbo pressure gauge and rattling
from the turbocharger.
Fault symptoms
Low engine power output / little movement on the turbo pressure gauge
Conditions
On certain cars, the clip holding the turbocharger pushrod to the arm on the wastegate valve
can come loose. If the clip does come loose, the pushrod can slide off the pin on the
wastegate valve arm. As a result, boost pressure control will not function and the valve disc
will cause a rattling noise from the turbocharger.
Diagnostic help
Jiggle the wiring harness at several points and in different directions to reveal intermittent
breaks and short-circuits in the wiring harness. Observe the multimeter, test lamp or
diagnostic instrument while doing this.
Diagnostic procedure
1.
Undo the hose clip on the charge air pipe and the screw on the bypass pipe. Move
aside the bypass pipe.
Warning
3.
Carefully knock repeatedly with a screwdriver to get the throttle arm back to its
original position (anticlockwise). Note that the throttle arm must not be turned with
pliers or the like as it can break or bend.
Important
4. If the throttle arm does not return to its original position using the method above,
unplug the oxygen sensor connector and remove the primary catalytic converter or
disconnect the front exhaust pipe from the turbocharger. Otherwise, only perform
steps 8, 10 and 11.
5.
Press the tip of a screwdriver against the top right part of the throttle disc while
pressing in the throttle spindle and raising the throttle arm by hand.
6. Press the tip of a screwdriver against the throttle disc while pressing in the throttle
spindle and turning the throttle arm further to pass the edge of the exhaust turbine.
7. If it is difficult to pass this edge, carefully file down the edge that hinders the throttle
disc with a round file. Check that the throttle disc is not damaged.
8. Connect the arm to the pushrod and secure it with the new clip specified above.
9. Fit the primary catalytic converter and plug in the oxygen sensor or fit the front
exhaust pipe. Grease the studs with 30 20 971 Screw thread paste.
