1

At idling speed, check if the turbocharger is leaking from the
turbocharger oil supply inlet or outlet, from the turbocharger
inlet or outlet or from the compressor and the rear plate of
the compressor sump.

Is there in good condition?

Go to Step 2.

Replace the seal of the
leaky pipe or channel.

2

If the leak is at the inlet or outlet of the turbocharger or of the
compressor. Check manually if the axial play is normal or
excessive referring to “Test 6: Rotating part of a
turbocharger: For Diesel Engine Model”.

NOTE
It is normal to find traces of oil at the
turbocharger inlet and outlet, as the air passing
through the compressor is loaded with oil from
the engine rebreathing circuit.

Is the axial play normal?

If the leak is on the
exhaust side plate
(turbine side). Replace
the turbocharger.

Replace the
turbocharger and check
that the turbocharger oil
supply circuit is not
blocked.

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 5 liters.

• Disconnect the diesel fuel return pipe at the pump return

and injector leak-off junction and seal it with a plug.

• 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).

Does the customer complaint persist?
