Engine
Charge pressure control
The air mass required to develop a specific
level of torque is determined by means of an air
mass calculation and produced by controlling
the charge pressure as required.
For safety reasons, the engine in the biturbo
regulates the charge pressure, and not the air
mass as is the case with the 1.8-litre 4-cylinder
turbocharged engine.
The charge pressure is measured by charge
pressure sender G31.
The Motronic regulates the charge pressure of
both turbochargers via the solenoid valve for
charge pressure control G31.
If a defect occurs in one of the cylinder banks
(e.g. melting of the catalytic converter or
blockage of the exhaust system), a purely air
mass-oriented charging system would still try
to provide the computed air mass.
This would lead to an excessively high charge
pressure.
In any case, the charge pressure control
prevents an excessively high charge pressure
building up inside the intake system.
