The turbo on my 1999 D2 TD5 was showing signs of bearing wear (slight side to side movement and about a mm of fore and aft), so I have just fitted a new Turbo Rebuild CHRA cartridge. I followed the guidance (oil and filter changes beforehand, syringe inject of supplied oil into the turbo and turned it over for 30 secs before starting and confirmed good supply of clean oil). The installation itself seems absolutely fine and the rest of the turbo seems in good condition. However, sprightly performance has not resulted.
The Air Flow Fault Logged High fault I had beforehand suggests a new MAF is in order as well, although voltages are smooth upwards from 0 and do not exceed 5v. Before I go ahead and order another one, I have some queries for the experienced to ensure I'm not missing something obvous or have a bigger problem.
Live data gave a wastegate reading of only 6.92% going uphill with full throttle at 3000 rpm. Oddly it increased to 7.82% as I backed off at the top.
Manifold Air Pressure never exceeded 155 KPa.
Are these reasonable symptoms of a dead MAF or indicative of a wider problem?
I have cleaned the MAP and the AAP (correct 3 pin fitment), but I guess these are suspect too. How about the wastegate actuator?
