General instructions
Practical advice
Prior to any work:
– Clean the major unit and its surrounds (See Driving Servicing Handbook, "Vehicle washing").
– Ensure the batteries are disconnected.
– Mark the pipes and wiring harnesses, if necessary.
– Protect all ports to prevent the ingress of foreign matter.
– Before disconnecting an air pipe, drop the circuit pressure.
– If liquid is splashed onto the bodywork, clean quickly with a cleaning product recommended by RENAULT
TRUCKS.
Preparation prior to assembly:
Carefully clean and check all the parts.
Do not unpack a new bearing until you are ready to install it. Do not clean off the protective grease on new
bearings.
Old seals and lock-plates must be discarded and new ones fitted.
Never force fit parts with copper or brass punches or drifts. Always use a specially adapted driver to prevent
ingress of metal particles into the casings and bearings. Always oil parts prior to force fitting.
Always apply grease on the inside of seal ring lips.
Shrink fitted parts are to be heated with a hot air blower or in an oven. etc. Flame heating is strictly forbidden.

When using a torque multiplier, calibrate the torque wrench/multiplier unit at the required torque loading.

Fastening, locking, sealing and adhesive products:


Prior to assembly, carefully clean the product application surfaces of the parts. Old product residue is to be
removed. Threaded portions are to be brushed, tapped and, if necessary, cleaned with a suitable product.
Using the product:
Always adapt the recommended product while observing the utilization conditions appearing on the pack:
– Surface finish,
– Working temperature,
– Reaction, drying, etc. time,
– Shelf life.
Stick to the assembly method so as to guarantee the quality of the repair.

Standard tightening torques

Definitions
Tightening torques
There are several types of tightening:
– Tightening to torque (in Nm)
– Tightening to angle (in °)
– Tightening to torque-angle (in Nm + °)
Torques given in Nm are nominal torques (average value calculated on the basis of the minimum torque and the
maximum torque).
The tightening precision class defines the tolerance of this torque in percent as a function of the nominal torque
applied.
For standard threaded hardware, use the following table.
For other torques, see the following page(s).

"FIH" type (Nylstop) locknuts must be replaced whenever removed. "DRH" type (oval) locknuts can be
re-used. If locknuts (DRH, FIH or other) are re-used, make absolutely certain that the screw-thread of the bolt
protrudes least two threads above the top edge of the nut.

Standard nut and bolt tightening torques table

The tightening torque values given in the table are based on standard 01.50.4002 and apply to new nuts and bolts
fitted dry and re-used nuts and bolts with oil applied to the screw-threads. If any nuts and bolts are replaced, it is
absolutely essential to use nuts and bolts recommended by the RENAULT TRUCKS Spare Parts Department
(coefficient of friction in compliance with standard 01.50.4002).

TOOLS

C-2 20 661
Generalities
RENAULT TRUCKS divides tools into three categories:

– General-purpose tools: proprietary tools


• 50 00 26.... reference number (possibility of purchasing through the RENAULT TRUCKS Spare Parts
department).
• 4-figure reference number (tools classified by RENAULT TRUCKS but available from the supplier).

– Special tools: specifically created tools distributed by the RENAULT TRUCKS Spare Parts Department
• To be ordered according to the reference numbers appearing in the list of tools on the following pages.

– Locally manufactured tools:


• 4-figure reference number (represented by a drawing): tools that are simple to make without need for
special qualification.

Three levels (or echelons) determine their assignment:


– Level 1: tools for servicing, maintenance and minor tasks

– Level 2: tools for major repairs

– Level 3: tools for refurbishment

Proprietary tools mentioned in this manual do not appear in the tools list.
These tools are identified in the standard tools manual (MO) by a 4-figure number.

Adjustment

Adjustment of the timing plate

It is necessary to adjust the timing plate if the timing idler gears backlash is incorrect.

Mount positioning tools 6401 on the cylinder block seating face .

Ensure that tools 6401 are smooth and free from burrs so
as to not damage the oil sump face on the cylinder block.

The joint faces of the timing plate and of the cylinder block must be
meticulously cleaned of all traces of sealing compound.

Place timing plate (9) in position on tools 6401.


Fit 3 timing plate securing bolts: 2 on the bottom edge and 1 on the
top edge of the timing plate.

Think of choosing tapped holes that are not covered by the idler
gears.

Bring the bolts into contact without tightening.

Fit the pinions (6)

Check that the idler gear thrust washers are fitted correctly.

Bring the bolts into contact without tightening.


Check that the timing plate can always be moved sideways.

RENAULT TRUCKS 12/2004

Insert two 0.10 mm feeler gauges between the teeth of the idler
gears and the teeth of the crankshaft pinion.
Using a plastic mallet, tap on the side of the timing plate until the
feeler gauges are a tight fit between the gear teeth.

Both feeler gauges must be as tight a fit as one another.

Tighten the 3 timing plate securing bolts (9).


Tighten 2 diagonally opposed bolts for each idler gear (6).

Tighten the bolts with enough torque to prevent the position of the timing plate (9) from being modified.

Take out the feeler gauges.


Place dial gauge 9661 in position and measure the backlash of the
idler gears. Check that the readings are inside the tolerances.
See page(s) B-6-6.

Turbocharger

Operating trouble
Each turbocharged engine possesses its own characteristic sound. Owing to this, many defects can be detected
merely by noticing a change in the customary noise signature.
If the sound level becomes sharper, it may be due to leaking charge air (between turbocharger and intake
manifold) or exhaust gas, or a drive shaft defect.
An intermittent change in noise level may be due to turbocharger fouling or use of the engine at underspeed in
relation to load.
The appearance of vibration may indicate a drive shaft defect.
A sudden reduction in noise, accompanied by the appearance of black or blue exhaust smoke is the sign of total
break-up of the turbocharger.
In all cases, immediately stop the engine to avoid more serious damage to the turbocharger and to the engine.

On-vehicle checks
Engine stopped:
Refer to technical document "DT 357".
Engine idling:
Check the air pipes between air filter and turbocharger for leaks by spraying Start Pilote fluid. Leakage will be
indicated by an increase in engine speed.
Engine running at 1 200 rpm.:
Check for leaks between turbocharger and engine using a leak detector. Check for exhaust gas leaks (actuate
the exhaust brake). Replace gaskets, if necessary. A gas leak can be detected by a change in colour at the place
of the leak.
Removal / fitting of turbocharger
These operations do not present any difficulty. Clean all the air conduits and make sure there is no foreign matter
left. Before tightening the exhaust manifold bolts, smear the screw-threads with high temperature-resistant
grease (Renault Trucks Oils Gripcott NF grease) or equivalent.
Tighten to torque (see page B-5-15).

Any turbocharger replacement, where the cause of damage has not been defined, may lead to new
incidents and serious engine damage.
Do not use jointing compound on the turbocharger lubrication pipe fastening flanges. Before
installing the turbocharger, pour fresh oil through the oil inlet port and turn the rotor by hand to
lubricate the journals and the thrust bearing.
After installing the turbocharger, run the engine and wait for 30 seconds before accelerating.
