A.
Common Rail Leak Oil Line
MODEL 164, 164X, 211, 251 with ENGINE 642
When servicing the CDI system with piezo injectors, do not intentionally restrict the Injector leak-off fuel lines in any manner i.e. kink, clamp, or
cap them off. Doing so will cause damage to the actuator sleeve resulting in injector failure.

Notes on Ceramic Glow Plugs
MODEL 164, 164X, 211, 251 with ENGINE 642
In order to prevent damage to the engine, it is important to observe the following information concerning ceramic glow plugs:
^
Ceramic glow plugs are very sensitive to impact shocks. Impact shocks cause invisible damage (hairline cracks) to the ceramic element and
lead to engine damage.
^
If the ceramic glow plugs have been dropped, it is essential that they be replaced. Only use ceramic glow plugs from sealed, original packing.
^
It is not possible to check the ceramic glow pin for mechanical damage (e.g. hairline cracks).
