07 206 D5
High-pressure pump

To verify whether high pressure pump is

damaged.

#

High pressure pump of common rail

injection system is damaged mechanically.

1
Remove/install/replace high pressure

pump.

When the high pressure pump of the common

rail injection system is damaged metal chips

and/or damage to the pump drive (timing

drive) can occur due to contamination of the

injection system components.
2
Turn high pressure pump by hand with

driver.

If mechanical resistance can be felt,

perform the following tests. Clarify additional

work with ESKULAB by specifying repair work:

#
3
Check driver of high pressure pump or

mount in sprocket for damage (visual

check).

If high pressure pump is locked:
#
4
Check timing

5
Check timing drive for damage.

In each case:
#
6
Remove/install/replace timing chain.

If timing deviates by a crankshaft angle of

more than 20 degrees (corresponding to one

tooth skipped):

#
7
Check pressure loss.

8
Open low pressure connection on high

pressure pump return (plastic line in

area of pressure regulator valve) and

check connection point in rail for chips.

If chips are present when checking

injection system:

#
9
Thoroughly clean all fuel low pressure

lines as well as feed and return lines.

Flush and blow out with compressed air.

10
Remove fuel preheater and fuel filter

with filter housing, replace.

Fuel preheater is only installed in models

202, 203 and 163.

11
Remove/install/replace fuel cooler at

vehicle and engine end.

Not installed in model 210 up to 6/99 and

model 168.

12
Remove fuel tank, replace.

On engine 628:
#

13
Remove/install/replace electric supply

pump.

14
Remove/install/replace injectors, rail

(including pressure regulation valve and

rail pressure sensor), high pressure

lines and injector leak oil rail.*
