Turbo re-fitting on Volvo penta D3-A-A early 2004

Just had the turbo refurbished, instructions say to turn over the engine without starting to purge air from
oil feed. How do I do that?

I am not an expert, but I would switch off or disconnect the fuel, and then just turn the engine over on the starter motor for a while/until the oil pressure guage starts to register a decent amount of pressure.

I'd wait for an expert though in case my advice turns out to be wrong

Before you fit the oil feed pipe squirt some oil down into the turbo then for the pipe and start it .

Thanks for that, I was wondering about disconnecting the electrical supply to the injector pump?

It would place fault codes in the ECU don’t do that .

Yeah you're right Paul, il do what you suggested and fill turbo and feed pipe with oil and just go for a normal start.
