Oil Temperature, Measure > < Compression, Check

Pressure Loss, Check

Engine at operating temperature (oil temperature >= 80 °C).

  Remove

Detach spark plug connectors, remove spark plugs with KM-194-E.

Remove fluid filler opening sealing cap, coolant compensation tank sealing cap and oil dipstick.

Remove air cleaner housing with air intake cover – see illustration "Air Ducts (X 16 SZR)" and illustration "Air Ducts (Z 16 SE)".

Remove upper part of toothed belt cover – see operation "Toothed Belt Cover – Upper Part, Remove and Install".

  Adjust

Set piston of 1st cylinder to TDC position. To determine TDC position – see operation "Timing, Check".

  Install

Connect pressure loss tester to compressed air system and calibrate. Screw connector into spark plug bore of 1st cylinder and connect pressure loss tester with connector (observe manufacturer's instructions).

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.

  Inspect

Air outlet at: inlet or exhaust side, compensation tank and crankcase housing. Max. difference in pressure between individual cylinders: 10%. The max. pressure loss of a cylinder should not exceed 25%

Check pressure loss at 3rd, 4th and 2nd cylinders analogously. Bring piston of cylinder to be checked in "ign. TDC" position, ignition sequence: 1-3-4-2. Determine "ign. TDC" position by placing guide marks on camshaft pulley. Further turn crankshaft 180° in engine rotational direction (corresponds to 90° at camshaft pulley) up to camshaft pulley guide mark and align toothed belt cover. Determine the "ign. TDC" position for 4th and 2nd cylinders analogously. Turn crankshaft slowly and uniformly.

  Install

Install upper part of toothed belt cover – see operation "Toothed Belt Cover – Upper Part, Remove and Install".

Install air cleaner housing with air intake cover – see illustration "Air Ducts (X 16 SZR)" and illustration "Air Ducts (Z 16 SE)".

Install spark plugs with KM-194-E into cylinder head – tightening torque 25 Nm / 18 lbf. ft.

Attach spark plug connector, fluid filler opening sealing cap, coolant compensation tank sealing cap and oil dipstick.
