Technical Background

Production Solution

Service
With Turbocharger installed

1. Check wastegate adjustment on turbocharger for accessibility/ease of movement:
•

Check wastegate adjustment on turbocharger (see illustration 1, red circle) for stiffness/secure fit:
‒

If the wastegate adjustment moves easily, this TSB does not apply and further diagnosis is
needed.

‒

If the wastegate adjustment is not easily moved, continue with step 2.

Illustration 1) wastegate rod (affected area on turbocharger)

2. Try to loosen wastegate adjustment:
- With turbocharger still installed on vehicle:
Generously spray wastegate adjustment with commercially available rust remover and let sit for at least 30
minutes.
•

With the ODIS tester, attempt to perform basic settings for the wastegate adjustment:
‒

If the wastegate adjustment basic settings can be performed successfully, apply grease to the
clevis on the wastegate adjustment with hot screw paste (part number G 052 112 A3). No further
work is necessary, clear the faults and return the vehicle to the customer.

‒

If the wastegate adjustment basic settings cannot be performed with the ODIS tester, continue
with “With turbocharger removed”.

- With turbocharger removed:
•

Remove the turbocharger according to the instructions found in the repair manual.

•

Manually manipulate the wastegate assembly to attempt to free the wastegate adjustment again:
‒

If the wastegate adjustment cannot be loosened in this way, continue with step 3.

‒

If the wastegate adjustment can be released in this way, apply grease to the clevis on the
wastegate adjustment with hot screw paste (part number G 052 112 A3).

•

Reinstall the turbocharger according to the instructions found in the repair manual.

•

Perform basic settings using the ODIS tester and clear the faults.

•

No further work is necessary, the vehicle can be returned to the customer.

3. Turbocharger replacement
•

If the repairs are unsuccessful, replace the turbocharger according to the repair manual.

•

Apply grease to the new clevis on the wastegate adjustment with hot screw paste (part number G 052
112 A3).

•

Perform basic settings using the ODIS tester and clear the faults.

•

No further work is necessary, the vehicle can be returned to the customer.
