only engine with turbocharger |
| Complaint: |
Customer complaint about lack of power. |
| Cause: |
Turbocharger hose slipped off. |
| Production: |
Correct torque and cleansing method since
SOP. |
Remedy:
In case of customer complaint do not retighten the clamp. If the
connection becomes loose, disassemble the complete turbocharger
hose, clean both sides, e.g. the hose inside at its inner clamping
area as well as the flange at the opposite.
For cleansing operation use a pad wettened with either acetone or wettened with some petrol liquid (do not soak pad with acetone or petrol liquid).
Reassemble the hose to the flanges and tight the clamps with 3,5 Nm to 4 Nm (max.).
Due to the design of those clamps the final torque will be lower
than 3,5 Nm after setting of the clamp, but that behavior is due to
the clamp design. In any case, do not retighten.
