Checking the motor oil pressure

Petrol models

Pressure testing of motor oil on petrol models

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Pull straight up, remove the trim panel of the engine / air cleaner assembly. Remove the fan assembly (8) of the cooling system and its casing (9). Remove the cover from the timing screw plug (4) and remove it together with the sealing washer (5). Sealing washer to be replaced on a mandatory basis. With planted in the timing cover on the sealing washer (3) double choke connector (2) to connect to the engine is equipped with a pressure gauge connecting hose (1) to measure the pressure of oil. Check motor oil level, if necessary, make appropriate adjustment (see chap. Current care and maintenance). Remove the dipstick from the guide tube (7) measuring the level of motor oil and season instead Remote Thermometer (6). Start the engine, warm it up to normal operating temperature (80 ?� C), then read the pressure gauge at various revolutions of the crankshaft. Compare results of measurements to requirements of Specifications. At squeezing of a pedal of gas pressure must increase immediately. Installation is in the reverse order.

Diesel models (M612)

Checking the motor oil pressure in the diesel models (M612)

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Remove the cylinder head cover the upper finishing panel. Proceed in accordance with the instructions in sections 4 through 8 (for the petrol models).

Readings are taken at the operating oil temperature 90 ?� C. At idle oil pressure must not fall below the value of 0.3 bar (bar); at squeezing gas pedal reading should immediately increase, reaching a value of at least 3 bar (bar) at 3000 rev / min.
