REMOVINGINSTALLING Remove/install     
DANGER Risk of accident  from vehicle starting off by itself when engine running. Risk of injury  (bruises and burns) resulting from working on the engine while it is being started or when it is running. Secure vehicle to prevent it from starting off by itself. Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts. AS00.00-Z-0005-01A
1 Bring engine up to operating temperature (approx. 80°C) IMPORTANT Only check compression pressure when engine is at operating temperature.
2 Remove key from ignition lock    
3 Remove air filter housing   AR09.10-P-1150EWS
4 Remove ignition coils   AR15.12-P-2003EW
5 Remove spark plugs    
REFER TO MAINTENANCE AP15.10-P-1580EW
6 Attach electrical feed lines to compression recorder (01) and crank engine with the contact switch at the compression recorder   AR01.10-P-0110EW 
IMPORTANT Crank engine for about 5 seconds to remove combustion residues from the cylinders.

INSPECT Check     
7 Press compression recorder (01) on tapped bore of spark plug for first cylinder IMPORTANT The sealing cone of compression recorder (01) must airproof the tapped bore of the spark plug.  
8 Crank engine with contact switch for compression recorder (01) until a pressure rise is no longer indicated on compression recorder    
9 Carry out testing procedure in the cylinder order on remaining cylinders in the same way    
10 Compare measurements obtained with permissible pressures Compression pressure, 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 *BE01.00-P-1003-01B 
11 Check for cylinder leakage   AR01.00-P-1300EWS 
IMPORTANT If the pressure lies below the minimum compression pressure or if the permissible difference between the individual cylinders is exceeded, check for cylinder leakage.
12 Install in the reverse order
