Checking and adjusting basic charging pressure

1. Remove the bypass pipe with valve, 1 bolt on the turbocharger intake pipe and 1
hose clip on the turbocharger delivery pipe.

Note
There is an O-ring in the bypass pipe mounting on
the compressor inlet.

2. Remove the exhaust manifold heat shield. The heat shield is attached with a nut and
two clips on the underside.

3. Remove the operating arm clip using special tool 83 94 538 Tool, E-circlip.

4.

Clamp the pushrod with 83 94 066 Pliers or similar and undo the lock nut with tool
83 94 520 Spanner, lock nut or similar.

5. Hold the operating arm and remove the pushrod from it. Secure the operating arm
as it might otherwise “overcentre”.

6. Move the operating arm on the boost pressure control valve to the “Closed” position
and adjust the end piece so that the pushrod can easily be fitted on the operating
arm pin.

7. Detach the pushrod from the operating arm pin. Turn the end piece clockwise about
2 turns so that a prestress of 2 mm is obtained. Attach the pushrod to the operating
arm pin. Fit the retaining ring.

8. Detach the hose marked “W” from the diaphragm unit.

9.

Connect pressure/vacuum pump 30 14 883 Pressure/vacuum pumpto the diaphragm

unit and pressure gauge 83 93 514 Boost pressure gauge.

10. Carefully pump up the pressure so that the control rod moves and regulates the
boost pressure.

11. Just as the control rod starts to move, read off the pressure on the pressure gauge
dial. The pressure should be 0.4 bar for the Garrett GT17 turbo unit (B205E /
B235E) and 0.45 bar for the Mitsubishi TO04 turbo unit (B235R).

12. Shorten the rod even more if the pressure is lower than 0.4 and 0.45 bar
respectively.

13.

Remove the control rod and coat the pin on the operating arm sparingly with
Molykote 1000 (part no. 30 20 271) or the equivalent.

14. Fit the control rod and clip, grip the control rod to prevent it from moving and lock
the nut.

15. Disconnect the pressure gauge and pump.

16. Reconnect the hose to the diaphragm unit.

17.

Fit the heat shield, coat its stud with Molykote 1000 (part no. 30 20 271) or the
equivalent and screw on the nut.

18. Grease the O-ring with non-acidic vaseline and fit the bypass pipe.

Tightening torque 8 Nm (6 lbf ft)

19. Carry out charge air adaptation:

19.a. Drive the car until the engine is warm.

19.b. Give full throttle a few times from 2000 rpm. The time during which the engine
speed is within the range 2400 - 4000 should exceed 2 seconds.

Note
Charge air adaptation should be carried out in
the highest gear possible. The customer
should be informed of the fact that the engine
torque may vary slightly during the first
occurrences of hard acceleration if charge air
adaptation has not been carried out.
