CHARGE AIR CONDENSATION
Before starting work, consult:
-- chapter 2, "BACKGROUND INFORMATION".
Condensate is developed by cooling down of warm inlet air.
The condensate is constantly drained via two small discharges at the lowest points of
the air inlet housing.
When the engine is running under load, inlet air and condensate has to blow out of the
discharges.
At a high air humidity it is normal that condensate flows constantly out of the discharge.
Check the discharge during "normal" operation.
If no air blows out of the discharges this indicates that the discharges are blocked.
Remove the discharges and check the connections of the air inlet casing and the
discharges for blockages.
When water still flows out of the discharges after the engine has been stopped, this
may point to a leaking air cooler element.
