Oil Temperature, Measure > < Test compression pressure (X 20 DTL, Y 20 DTL, Y 20 DTH up to MY 2003)

Pressure Loss, Check

  Remove

Remove glow plugs – see operation "Glow Plugs, Remove and Install".

Remove vacuum pump – see operation "Vacuum Pump, Remove and Install".

Detach engine vent hose (1) from cylinder head cover.

For X 20 DTL, Y 20 DTL engines: Remove charge air pipe (2) with charge air hose.

Detach closure caps from oil filler aperture (3) and from coolant compensation tank (4).

Remove oil dipstick (5) from oil dipstick guide tube.

  Adjust

At fastening bolt of the torsional vibration damper, turn the crankshaft in engine rotational direction to TDC of the cylinder being checked.

Bore (arrow) on the camshaft must align with the relevant guide mark.

  1. TDC for 1st cylinder.
  2. TDC for 3rd cylinder.
  3. TDC for 4th cylinder.
  4. TDC for 2nd cylinder.

Caution

The crankshaft is not permitted to rotate during the test procedure. In order to avoid this, engage 1st gear or selector lever position "P" and apply parking brake.

  Install

Connect pressure loss tester to compressed air system and calibrate (observe manufacturer's instructions).

Bolt pressure loss tester in conjunction with Adapter KM-533-B and Connecting Piece KM-928 into glow plug bore hole.

  Inspect

Read off pressure loss on tester as a percentage. At the same time, pay attention to any audible deviations in the compressed air at intake manifold, turbocharger, exhaust system, glow plug bore holes and crankcase as well as to any bubble formation in the coolant compensation tank.

Max. permissible pressure loss difference between the individual cylinders approx. 10 %. The max. pressure loss of one cylinder should not exceed 25 %

  Remove

Remove pressure loss tester with adapter and connector.

  Install

Attach closure caps to oil filler aperture and coolant compensation tank.

Insert oil dipstick into oil dipstick guide tube.

For X 20 DTL, Y 20 DTL engines: Install charge air hose and charge air pipe with new seal ring – tightening torque 3.5 Nm / 2.6 lbf. ft.

Attach engine vent hose to cylinder head cover.

Install vacuum pump – see operation "Vacuum Pump, Remove and Install".

Install glow plugs – see operation "Glow Plugs, Remove and Install".
