Danger ! | 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. | |
Danger ! | 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. | |
Danger ! | Risk of explosion caused by fuel igniting. Risk of injury to skin and eyes caused by fuel spraying out at high pressure | Keep all ignition sources out of hazard area. | |
| Determine loss of pressure at cylinder | ||
| Remove/install | ||
1 | Bring engine up to operating temperature (approx. 80°C) | Only check for cylinder leakage when the engine is at normal operating temperature. | |
2 | Switch off ignition and remove transmitter key | ||
3 | Remove spark plugs | ||
| Replace spark plugs | ||
Danger ! | Risk of injury to skin and eyes suffering scalding from contact with hot coolantspray. Risk of poisoning from swallowing coolant. | Do not open cooling system unless coolant temperature is below 90 °C. Open cap slowly and release the pressure. Do not pour coolant into beverage containers. | |
4 | Unscrew cap for coolant expansion reservoir | ||
5 | Position piston of cylinder to be checked to top dead center (ignition TDC) | | |
Crank engine at crankshaft center bolt in direction of engine rotation. | |||
6 | Screw cylinder leakage tester (04) into the spark plug bore | Use a suitable adapter (06) if necessary. Calibrate cylinder leakage tester (04) before beginning the testing; observe manufacturer details to do this. | |
| Check | ||
7 | Pressurize cylinder with compressed air and read off pressure loss on cylinder leakage tester (04) | 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 crankshaft rotates: | |||
| |||
Switch transmission into 4th gear and apply the brake. Use aid of helper. | |||
8 | Perform check further cylinder as per firing order of the engine | ||
9 | Install in the reverse order |
