Jump-starting Assisting vehicle: run the engine at a high speed. Start the engine and allow it to idle. Disconnecting the jump lead First, disconnect the negative terminal clamps of the jump lead from the negative terminals. Remove the positive terminal clamps of the jump lead from the positive terminals.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Engine problems WARNING If you do not have the prescribed service/maintenance work or necessary repairs carried out, this could result in malfunctions or system failures. There is a risk of an accident. Always have the prescribed service/maintenance work as well as necessary repairs carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Page 68
Troubleshooting Problem Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions Leaks or insufficient pressure in the low-pressure fuel circuit Check for leaks (visual check), replace the seals if necessary. Have the fuel pressure tested at a qualified specialist workshop. Replace the seals. Engine fails to start The fuel is not resistant to cold.
Page 69
Troubleshooting Problem Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions The charge-air temperature is too high; the charge-air cooler or radiator is dirty on the exterior. Clean the exterior of the charge-air cooler and radiator. The coolant temperature is too high. Check the temperature sensor; replace if necessary. Check the fan speed.
Page 70
Troubleshooting Problem Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions The poly-V-belt is damaged. Replace the poly-V-belt. The fan does not switch on correctly. Consult a qualified specialist workshop. The radiator is dirty on the inside; the radiator is very dirty on the outside.
