NOTICE
The high-pressure pump has very close tolerances and must
not be allowed to run without fuel. To prevent this and to ena‐
ble the engine to start quickly after parts have been renewed,
it is important to observe the following:
♦ If components of the fuel system between the fuel tank and
the high-pressure pump have been removed or renewed,
the fuel system must be filled and bled before the engine is
started for the first time.
Bleeding fuel system
•
There must be sufficient fuel in the tank.
– Activate fuel pump ⇒ page 30 .
– After the fuel system has been bled, start engine.
– Allow engine to run for several minutes at mid revs, then
switch engine off again.
– Read event memory and erase if necessary.
– Carry out a leakage test of the fuel system.
Note
If there is still air in the fuel system, the engine can change to
emergency running mode during road test. In this case, switch
the engine off and erase the fault memory. Then continue with a
road test.
