REMOVINGINSTALLING Remove/install     
DANGER Risk of injury  caused by fingers being pinched or crushed  when removing, installing or aligning hoods, doors, trunk lids, liftgates or sliding roof Keep body parts and limbs well clear of moving parts. AS00.00-Z-0011-01A
DANGER Risk of accident  caused by vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running. Risk of injury  caused by contusions and burns during starting procedure or when working near the engine as it is running Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving by itself.
Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes.
Do not touch hot or rotating parts.
AS00.00-Z-0005-01A
1 Bring engine to operating temperature (approx. 80°C) IMPORTANT Only test compression pressure when engine is at normal operating temperature.  
2 Switch off ignition    
3 Remove spark plugs   AR15.12-P-1010CMG
4 Connect electrical supply lines for compression recorder (01) See Crank engine with starter. AR01.10-P-0110CW 
5 Crank engine using contact switch of compression recorder (01) for approx. 5 seconds IMPORTANT To eliminate combustion residues from the cylinders.  
INSPECT Checking     
6 Press compression recorder (01) on tapped bore of spark plug for first cylinder IMPORTANT The sealing cone of compression recorder (01) must tightly seal tapped bore of spark plug.  
7 Crank the engine with the contact switch of the compression recorder (01) until the rise in pressure is no longer indicated on the compression recorder (01)    
8 Carry out testing procedure in the cylinder order on remaining cylinders in the same way    
9 Compare measurements obtained with permissible pressures Compression installation tolerance or new value *BE01.00-P-1001-01B 
Compression pressure permissible difference between individual cylinders *BE01.00-P-1002-01B 
Compression pressure wear limit or limit value
If pressure indicated is less than the minimum compression pressure or if permissible difference between individual cylinders is exceeded: ↓
*BE01.00-P-1003-01B 
Check cylinder leakage. AR01.00-P-1300CMG 
10 Install in the reverse order
