Notes on compression test - AH07.00-P-3004-01WA
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 42 other vehicles, including the 1999 Mercedes-Benz S600, 1999 Mercedes-Benz S500, 1999 Mercedes-Benz S420, 1999 Mercedes-Benz S320, and 1999 Mercedes-Benz CL600. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Engine 104, 111, 112, 113, 119, 120
As an initial measurement, the compression can be tested with HHT or STAR DIAGNOSIS.
From an engine speed difference of > 8 revolutions for engines 104/112/113 as well as> 5 revolution for engine 111, a mechanical fault may be present.
The differences in engine speed are revealed in different ways on each engine so that it is not possible to draw any conclusions regarding which cylinder or cylinders are faulty.
Good image compression test Shown on engine 113
If the differences in engine speed are exceeded, it is necessary to conduct a mechanical compression pressure test/cylinder leak test at all the cylinders in order to accurately pinpoint the fault.
