Task Description
B Measures to prevent foreign bodies entering injection lines and injection nozzles during repair work
Foreign bodies may enter the area of the nozzle injection bores and result in the following complaints:
• Engine shaking, uneven operation
• Engine knocking
• Increased smoke generation
Always use protective caps, therefore, during work on the engine to protect:
• Injection lines
• Nozzle holder
• Nozzles
• Injection pump pipe connections
against penetration of foreign bodies and dirt.
Note: Make sure protective caps of spare-part nozzle holders and pipe connections are in clean condition. Seal
injection lines with blanking plugs 201 987 00 40 (see spare part).
Before reinstalling, blow removed injection lines clear with compressed air.
