High-pressure pump - Z 17 DTH engine
The Z 17 DTH engine is fitted with the HP 3 high-pressure pump
from Denso.
The task of the high-pressure pump is to draw in fuel and make
available the required system pressure in the pressure
accumulator.
The admission pressure that the high-pressure pump requires to
operate is provided by the mechanical delivery pump incorporated
into the housing of the high-pressure pump.
The high-pressure pump works as a twin-acting plunger pump. It
is the interface between the low-pressure side and the
high-pressure side. It continually generates the system pressure
for the pressure accumulator.
The high-pressure pump is mounted rearwards on the timing case
and driven by the camshaft toothed belt.
• Service:
The Common Rail system of the Z 17 DTH engine does not need to be
bled after installation work. It is self-bleeding. To prevent the
starter from overheating, the bleed process must only be carried
out by actuating the starter continuously for 40 seconds maximum.
After that, a sufficient amount of time must elapse to enable the
starter to cool. The bleed process can be repeated if required.

Metering unit
The metering unit regulates the system pressure in the pressure
accumulator by limiting the quantity of fuel in the high-pressure
pump. The metering unit is incorporated into the high-pressure pump
and is actuated by the engine control unit.
