Turbocharger, Removing And Installing, 3.0L Engine: Installing

Install in reverse order of removal and note the following:

• When installing a new turbocharger compare the old and new components and if necessary reposition the attachments. Refer to OVERVIEW - TURBOCHARGER, 3.0L ENGINE .
• Replace the screw-type clamp and oil return line after removal.
• When installing a new turbocharger replace the coupling and screw-type clamp.
• Replace seals, gaskets, O-rings and self-locking nuts after disassembly.
• Replacing the stud bolts.
• Fill the turbocharger with engine oil at the oil supply line connection.
• Secure all hose connections with hose clamps that match the ones used in series production. Refer to the Parts Information.
• Check the vacuum hoses for damage before the assembly and replace if necessary.
• Used coolant cannot be used again.

Further installation is the reverse order of removal.

-- Install the upper air duct pipe. Refer to AIR DUCT PIPE, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

There may be additional procedures depending on the model. Refer to the appropriate service information .

-- Fill the coolant. Refer to COOLANT, DRAINING AND FILLING .

-- Tighten the nuts -item  15- and -item  20-. This step is necessary to compensate for the shrinkage of the turbocharger compound.

-- Install the catalytic converter or catalytic converter with particulate filter. Refer to CATALYTIC CONVERTER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

-- Check the oil level. Refer to ENGINE OIL .

-- Install the heat shield and engine cover. Refer to ENGINE COVER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

After installing the turbocharger, let the engine idle for approximately one minute without increasing the engine speed. This ensures adequate oil supply to the turbocharger.
