Accessories belts tension
Belts tensioning values are:
- alternator belt 253 – 273 Hz
- compressor belt 150 – 155 Hz
- power steering pumps belt 151 – 161 Hz
- compressor belt / DA pump 222 ± 8 Hz
A ccessories belt tensioning method.
Belt tensioning is to be performed with cold engine.
Mount the new belt.
Tighten the belt till obtaining the prescribed mounting tensioning.
Block the tensioner.
Perform three engine crankshaft rotations. P lace t he reading head of the MOT 1505 device i n the m easurement area and check if the
belt tensioning is within the mounting prescribed values; restore is necessary.
REMARK :
Once a belt is dismounted, is not to be remounted, but replaced.

OIL CONSUMPTION MEASURING
a) Oil filling to maximal level
This operation is to be performed when the engine is warm (one engine fan rotation) and after
a stabilization of 15 minutes, necessary to the oil complete draining into the lower crankshaft.
Check the oil at the oil-indicating rod.
Fill to the maximal level.
Seal the draining and filling taps (mark them with paint), for further checking if these have not
been dismounted
b) Customer driving time
Ask the customer to drive for about 2000 km or until the oil reaches the minimal level.
c) Refilling to the maximal l evel
This operation is to be performed when the engine is warm (one engine fan rotation) and after
a stabilization of 15 minutes.
Check the oil at the oil-indicating rod.
Fill to the maximal level.
Write down the oil quantity and the driven mileage after filling to the maximal level.
d) Oil consumption measuring

CHECKING
The oil pressure is to be checked when the engine is warm (about 80°C).
Oil p ressure
For the engine E7J, components C + E + F from the oi l pressure measuri ng kit
MOT 836-05 are to be used.
The minimal pressure value should be:
1 bar at idling;
3 bar at 4000 rpm.
