Variable geometry turbocharger actuator leakage test
Visually inspect that whilst the engine is being started (key in START position) the turbocharger actuator connecting rod (turbine stator vane positioning device) moves by about 10 mm in the direction of the actuator.
CHECK WITH EXAMINER
With the engine switched off, connect connector EX09 with transducer EX06 to the section of pipe between the actuator and the solenoid valve.
In the instrument environment, select the intake pressure measurement pressure gauge.
Start the engine and let it idle, then wait until the pressure level stabilizes.
The pressure reading should be between 450 and 500 mmHg (Phase 3 1910 engines).
The graphic acquisition of the pressure can be made by selecting the scale 2000 or 4000 mmHg.

CHECK USING EXAMINER
With the engine switched off, connect connector EX09 with transducer EX06 to the section of pipe between the actuator and the solenoid valve.
In the instrument ambient, select the intake pressure measurement pressure gauge.
Start the engine and let it idle, then wait until the pressure level stabilizes.
The reading must not exceed 450 - 550 mmHg (2400 Phase 3 engines).
The graphic acquisition of the pressure can be made by selecting the scale 2000 or 4000 mmHg.
