ENGINE 113.964 in MODEL 164.175 Oil consumption measurement with STAR-DIAGNOSIS

	Check
1	Check outside of ENGINE for oil leakage	Seal off non leak-tight parts, otherwise malfunctions, engine damage and environmental pollution may occur.
2.1	Carry out engine oil and filter change	In order to avoid false measurements, for example through fuel in engine oil, the engine oil has to be changed before each oil consumption measuring trip. It is not necessary to change engine oil when driven less than 1000 km after the last oil change.
	Engine oil and filter change		AP18.00-P-0101GZ
3	Conduct oil consumption measuring drive	During test drive by workshop personnel: Test course 250 km taking into account use of the vehicle by the customer During test drive by the customer: Test course 1000 km
4	Connect STAR DIAGNOSIS and read fault memory	After repair or tests, e. g. through disconnection of connectors or through simulation, erase retracted errors in the diagnostic trouble code memory.
	Connect STAR DIAGNOSIS and read out fault memory		AD00.00-P-2000-04A
		STAR DIAGNOSIS diagnostic system	*WH58.30-Z-1048-13A
5	Read out oil consumption with STAR DIAGNOSIS	For evaluating the actual values, the vehicle must be at the starting point of the test run, for example at the location of the oil change, otherwise errors could occur while evaluating the actual values	AR18.00-P-0025-04CB
6	If engine oil consumption requires, refill engine oil or conduct repair operations	After a driving performance of 1000 km, the engine oil consumption should amount to max 0.8 l. If oil consumption is higher, appropriate repair operations have to be conducted.
