244000447 - B13 ENGINE STARTS WITH DIFFICULTY'

The engine, particularly when cold, starts with difficulty and only after repeated attempts. When the key is turned the instruments light up as normal, the starter motor turns, but the engine is difficult to start.
STEPOPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUTTEST RESULTS
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check the following, in order:

  • condition of the air intake circuit;
  • diesel pipe seal;
  • condition of the air filter;
  • absence of fuel, water, paraffin or dirt in the diesel filter.
Move on to Step 1Fault in the air intake circuitRenew the air intake circuit
Leaks from the diesel pipesAdjust pipe tightness to correct setting and replace if necessary
Filter blockedReplace the filter element    Op. 1048A14 AIR CLEANER FILTERING ELEMENT - REPLACE.
Water, petrol, paraffin or dirt found to be presentClean the tank and pipes and replace the filter element    Op. 1044B20 FUEL FILTER FILTERING ELEMENT - REPLACE
1CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Connect the Examiner tester to the diagnostic output.Check:

  • that there are no errors in the control unit;
  • the plausibility of the parameters;
  • glow plug operation
run active diagnosis on the glow plug control unit
Move on to Step 2Error detected in the control unitContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Parameters not plausibleProceed as instructed by the diagnostic equipment
Glow plug control unit defectiveReplace the glow plug control unit

Check that the difference in pressure upstream and downstream of the filter is less than 1 barMove on to Step 7Difference in pressure less than or equal to 1 barReplace the fuel filter cartridge    Op. 1044B20 FUEL FILTER FILTERING ELEMENT - REPLACE
7LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check that the supply pump pressure at the filter inlet is between 0.6 and 0.7 barMove on to Step 11Pressure below 0.6 barMove on to Step 8
8LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check that the pressure difference between pump outlet and filter inlet is less than 0.3 barMove on to Step 9Difference in pressure more than 0.3 barReplace the pipe    Op. 1040B30 FUEL DELIVERY LINE - R R
9LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check as described in Test 1040AA, that the pump supply voltage is equal to 12 V and current uptake is between 2 and 10 Amps    See Test 1040A FUEL TANK AND COMPONENTSMove on to Step 10Voltage < 12 VCheck electrical wiring    See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
Current> 10 Amps: pump not running smoothlyReplace the fuel pump assembly and clean the fuel tank    Op. 1040A70 SUBMERGED PUMP ASSEMBLY COMPLETE WITH LEVEL GUAGE CONTROL - R + R
10CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Replace the high pressure pump pressure regulator and check that the fault is no longer present.    Op. 1060E50 PRESSURE REGULATOR - R REnd of diagnosisFault persistsReset the regulator and continue to Step 11
11CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Replace the pressure pump and check that the fault is no longer present.    Op. 1060E10 PRESSURE PUMP - R REnd of diagnosisFault persistsReset the pressure pump and continue to Step 12
12CYLINDER COMPRESSION CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Carry out the cylinder compression checkMove on to Step 14Cylinder compression insufficientMove on to Step 13
