Technical Background
There may be slow coolant loss
from the connections at the coolant
feed pipe and the coolant return
pipe. High temperatures cause the
coolant to become encrusted on the
connection flange of the
turbocharger (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Black, encrusted coolant residue (outlined area), coolant
feed pipe (A), oil feed pipe (B), and coolant return pipe (C).
The resulting heat after switching off the engine can, under special operating conditions, lead to very high
temperatures on the coolant seals of the turbocharger. This can damage the O-ring.
Production Solution
Optimized temperature-resistant O-rings on the coolant connection of the turbocharger together with an extended
operating period of the auxiliary cooling pump after switching off the engine.

Note: The O-ring assignment can be based on one part number on the coolant pipes, as there is no mixed
installation allowed. The original coolant pipes had a 2.5 mm O-ring groove which require the 2.0 mm (blue) Orings. The later/replacement coolant pipes had larger 3.5 mm groove which require the 2.8 mm (black) O-rings.
Special tool 3371 can be used to measure the thickness of the O-ring groove to determine the correct O-ring
fitment. Replacing the coolant pipes is not allowed!
For the replacement of the two O-rings for the coolant supply pipes we recommend the following pipe position to
allow access to remove and replace the O-rings (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Recommended pipe position.
1. Clean the intake ports for the coolant pipes on the top of the turbochargers, the ports should be clean and dry
before installing the coolant pipes with the O-rings. The new O-rings are coated with a lubricating agent and
should be installed dry.
2. Replace the oil feed pipe O-rings. Coat lightly with clean engine oil, do not allow engine oil to touch the coolant
O-rings.
3. Install the pipe retaining plate and secure loosely, attach pipe retainer brackets and torque retaining plate bolts
to 9 nm and reassemble intake pipes and hoses.
4. Fill the new coolant additive in the cooling system according to manufacturer guidelines. Observe the mixture
ratio and filling-up procedure.
5. Only mix distilled water with coolant additives. Distilled water provides optimum corrosion protection.

6. The filling procedure outlined in ElsaPro must be followed. It is important that the vacuum-down, filling and
bleeding processes for the specific vehicle being repaired are used.
7. New software in the Engine Control Module (J623) (address word 0001) addressed the condition.
8. Follow all instructions in TSB 2011732: 00 Software Version Management (SVM), operating instructions.
9. Update the Engine Control module (J623) (address word 0001) using the SVM action code as listed in the
