Remove/install

Danger!

Risk of injury to skin and eyes caused by handling hot or glowing objects.

Wear safety gloves, protective clothing and safety glasses, if necessary.

AS00.00-Z-0002-01A

Danger!

Risk of accident caused by vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running. Risk of injury caused by contusions and burns during starting procedure or when working near the running engine

Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving by itself.
Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes.
Do not grasp hot or rotating parts.

AS00.00-Z-0005-01A

1

Warm up engine to operating temperature of approximately 80 °C

Only perform compression test when engine is at its normal operating temperature.

2

Remove glow plugs (R9/1,R9/2,R9/3,R9/4)

AR15.20-D-4111SD

3

Crank engine with starter.

Do not crank engine at transmitter key but use contact switch of compression recorder (1). Crank engine several times with the starter in order to eliminate combustion residues in the cylinder.

4

Insert screw-in fitting (3) with check valve installed in glow plug bore of cylinder to be tested.

Checking

6

Test compression pressure by cranking engine with starter for at least 8 revolutions

Do not crank engine at transmitter key but use contact switch of compression recorder (1).

*001589762100

7

Carry out test procedure at the remaining cylinders in the same way

8

Compare pressure readings obtained with the specified pressures.

Compression installation tolerance or new value

*BE01.00-N-1001-01L

Compression pressure wear limit or limit value

*BE01.00-N-1002-01L

Compression pressure permissible difference between individual cylinders

*BE01.00-N-1003-01L

If the pressure lies below the minimum compression pressure or if the permissible difference between the individual cylinders is exceeded, check for cylinder leakage.

Refer to:

Inspect cylinders for leaks
