Warning | Risk of accident from vehicle starting off by itself when engine running. Risk of injury (bruises and burns) resulting from working on the engine while it is being started or when it is running. | Secure vehicle to prevent it from starting off by itself. Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts. | |
Warning | Risk of injury. Skin or eye injuries may result when handling hot or glowing objects. | Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and safety glasses, if necessary. | |
| Remove/install | ||
1 | Warm up engine to normal operating temperature and switch off engine. | ||
2 | Remove glow plugs. | ||
3 | Remove front noise insulation. | ||
4 | Remove impact plate. | ||
5 | Position piston of cylinder to be checked at top dead center (ignition TDC) using counterholder. | Commercially available devices/tools | |
Rotate engine at belt pulley in direction of engine rotation. | |||
Counterholder | |||
6 | Calibrate the pressure loss tester (1). | Pressure loss tester | |
7 | Connect pressure loss tester (1) to the glow plug holes. | ||
Use a screw-in piece without check valve. | |||

8 | Apply compressed air to the cylinder and read off pressure loss from pressure loss tester (1). | ||
Determine loss of pressure at cylinder | |||
Cylinder leakage: permissible loss total indication | |||
Cylinder leaktightness: Permissible losses at valves and cylinder head gasket | |||
Cylinder leaktightness: Permissible losses at pistons and piston rings | |||

If the pressure loss is increased, | |||
| |||
Determine cause. | |||
9 | Perform check of additional cylinders in engine firing order. | ||
10 | Install in the reverse order. |
