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.

1

Warm up engine to operating temperature of approximately 80 °C

Test compression pressure only when engine is at normal operating temperature.

2

Remove spark plugs

Replace spark plugs

4

Crank engine with starter

Crank engine several times to eliminate combustion residues in the cylinder.

Checking

5

Insert compression tester set (2) into the spark plug bore of the first cylinder, crank engine with starter and read off measured value

Repeat test at all cylinders.

Press the accelerator pedal. To check the compression pressure, crank the engine by at least eight revolutions.

6

Compare all measured values with the permissible values

Compression pressure new value

*BE01.00-P-1001-01G

Compression pressure wear limit or limit value

*BE01.00-P-1002-01G

Compression pressure permissible difference between individual cylinders

*BE01.00-P-1003-01G

If the values are below the limits for wear or if the permissible difference between individual cylinders is exceeded, carry out the pressure loss test.

Refer to:

Inspect cylinders for leaks
