Testing oil pressure
For engine with identification characters BZB
   
–  Remove oil pressure switch -F1--3- (do not observe Pos. -1-).
For engine with identification characters CDAA, CDAB, CCZA
–  Remove oil pressure switch for reduced oil pressure -F378--1-.
Continued for all engines
–  Screw switch into the test equipment.
  A17-10458
–  Screw the testing device into the oil filter holder instead of the removed oil pressure switch.
–  Start the engine and increase the engine speed.
For engine with identification characters BZB
l  At 2000 rpm the oil overpressure should be 0.27...0.45 MPa (2.7...4.5 bar).
l  At a higher engine speed the oil pressure must not be greater than 0.7 MPa (7 bar).
For engine with identification characters CDAA, CDAB, CCZA
l  In idle, the oil overpressure should be 0.12...0.21 MPa (1.2...2.1 bar).
l  At 2000 rpm the oil overpressure should be 0.16...0.21 MPa (1.6...2.1 bar).
l  At 3700 rpm the oil overpressure should be 0.30...0.40 MPa (3.0...4.0 bar).
  Note
If the engine is new, the oil pressure can be between 0.30...0.40 MPa (3.0...4.0 bar) during the first 1000 km at 2000 rpm.
Continued for all engines
If the specified value is not reached:
–  Check the strainer in the suction line for contamination.
  Note
Also mechanical damage, e.g. bearing damage can be the cause of a too low oil pressure.
If no fault is found:
–  Replace oil pump → Chapter.
If the specified pressure is exceeded:
–  Replace oil pump → Chapter.
  Note
Before installing the new oil pump, check the oil ducts in the upper part of the oil pan for contamination.
