Electrical coolant circulation pump V51
Electrical coolant circulation pump V51 is
located in the engine’s V angle.
If the coolant temperature is too high,
thermoswitch for coolant circulation run-on
F95 activates the additional coolant function.
The high temperatures which occur at the
exhaust gas turbocharger produce vapour
bubbles which prevent coolant being drawn in
by pump V51.
When pump V51 starts up, the coolant flows
through the exhaust gas turbocharger and the
cylinder heads. The direction of flow in the
turbocharger cooling circuit is reversed by
this.Due to this reversal of the direction of coolant
flow, coolant is drawn in via the cylinder heads
(large cross-sections), which means that any
vapour bubbles which develop are expelled
from the exhaust gas turbocharger lines.
The electrical coolant circulation pump again
draws in coolant along the rear coolant pipe,
thereby recirculating the coolant.

Engine
Engine lubrication
The oil circuit of the 2.7-litre V6 biturbo engine largely corresponds to that
of the 3rd V6 engine generation.
In addition, the two exhaust gas turbochargers are supplied with
pressurised oil from the main oil gallery via a distributor piece. The oil is
returned directly to the oil sump.
The oil cooler was adapted to withstand the higher thermal stresses in
comparison with a naturally aspirated engine.A new feature of the biturbo is
the “integrated oil supply“ (see
next page).

The oil circuit
A duocentric oil pump draws in the oil
through a coarse filter. Located in the
pressure chamber of the pump is a
pressure relief valve which protects
downstream components against
pressure peaks during cold starts.
The oil is fed to the oil filter via the oil
cooler. After passing an oil retention
valve, the oil flows through the filter
element. A bypass filter is connected in
parallel with the filter element.
The oil subsequently reaches the main
oil gallery. A branch line is routed to the
oil pressure control valve (clean oil
side).
The following components are supplied
with oil from the main oil gallery:
- the four crankshaft bearings
- the two exhaust gas turbochargers
via an oil distributor line
- the three pairs of piston spray jets via
a spray jet valve
- the cylinder head of cylinder bank 1
via an oil retention valve
The cylinder head of cylinder bank 2 is
supplied through a separate bore from
crankshaft bearing 2 via an oil retention
valve also.
First of all, the camshaft adjustment
valve is supplied with oil from the inlet
drilling in the cylinder head. After the oil
has passed by a restrictor, it is
channeled via the cylinder head main
gallery to the hydraulic valve tappets
and the camshaft bearings.

Engine
The component parts of the oil circuit
is integrated in the primary flow. By increasing
the capacity and optimising the flow
resistance, the entire oil flow can be routed
through the oil cooler. Unlike the V6 naturally
aspirated engine, a bypass is not required.
The oil cooler ......
contains an oil retention valve, the filter
element, a bypass filter and the filter bypass
valve. The latter has the task of maintaining
engine lubrication via the bypass filter if the
filter element becomes clogged up or if the oil
has a high viscosity.
The oil filter ......
opens up the oil flow to the piston spray jets if
the oil pressure is greater than 1.8 bar.
Reason: at low oil viscosity and low engine
speeds, the oil pressure would otherwise drop
below the minimum permissible level. That
aside, piston cooling is not necessary at low
engine speeds.
The spray jets valve ......
SSP 198/57
Oil pressure control valve
Oil pressure limiting valve
Chain guard
is an internal gear pump. It is attached to the
crankcase as a separate component.
The oil pump is designed in such a way that it
projects deep down into the oil sump and is
immersed completely in the engine oil when
the oil level is correct. This prevents the oil
pump running dry.
The oil pump, in combination with the
extremely short intake path, enables oil
pressure to build up more quickly and safely,
particularly during cold starts.
The oil pump is driven by the crankshaft by
means of a single chain.
A spring-loaded flat plate produces the
necessary tension.
A new feature of the oil pump is the chain
guard made from sheet steel. It encapsulates
both the chain wheel and the chain over a large
area.
This reliably prevents oil frothing and the
problems associated with this.
The oil pump ......

is a pressure relief valve. It is located inside the
oil pump housing and opens when the oil
pressure rises too high (cold start). If an
excessively high oil pressure builds up,
various component parts of the oil circuit (e.g.
oil filter, oil cooler) may be damaged. Also,
there is the possibility of the inlet and exhaust
valves opening or no longer closing, due to
“bulking“ of the hydraulic tappets. The knock-
on effect of this is that the engine can no
longer be started or cuts out.
The oil pressure limiting valve ......
regulates the engine oil pressure. It is
integrated in the oil pump housing. The oil
quantity “regulated“ by the oil pressure
control valve is fed to the suction side of the
oil pump.
This helps to optimise efficiency.
The oil pressure control valve ......
prevent the oil running out of the oil filter and
the cylinder heads and back into the oil sump
while the engine is stationary.
The oil retention valves ......
The “integrated oil supply“ ...
will also be adopted for all V6 5V naturally
aspirated engines.
Each camshaft bearing is supplied via a
drilling stemming from the cylinder head main
gallery.
The oil is fed along a bolt shaft in the bearing
cap to a transverse drilling.
A lubrication groove distributes the oil
throughout the camshaft bearing. It is no
longer necessary to run a pipe to the
individual bearing caps.
Advantages:
•
Fewer components
•
Quick and even oil supply
•
No additional installation work necessary
•
Lower cost
SSP 198/58
Cylinder head main gallery
Transverse drilling
prevent “flooding“ of the cylinder heads. At
high engine speeds, an excessively large
amount of oil enters the cylinder heads and
has to be returned to the oil sump via the oil
return drillings. The restrictors reduce the oil
flow and thereby ensure that return flow takes
place.
The restrictors ......
