I. HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTAMINATION
The high pressure direct injection system is highly sensitive to contamination. The risks associated with
contamination are:
–damage to or destruction of the high pressure injection system,
–components jamming,
–components losing seal integrity.
All After-Sales operations must be performed under very clean conditions. This means that no impurities
(particles a few microns in size) should have entered the system during dismantling.
The cleanliness principle must be applied from the filter to the injectors.
What are the sources of contamination?
–metal or plastic swarf,
–paint,
–fibres: from cardboard,
from brushes,
from paper,
from clothing,
from cloths.
–foreign bodies such as hair,
–ambient air
–etc.
II. ADVICE TO BE FOLLOWED BEFORE ANY OPERATION
Check that you have plugs for the unions to be opened (set of plugs available from the Parts Department). The plugs
are single-use only. After use, they must be discarded (once used they are soiled and cleaning is not sufficient to
make them reusable). Unused plugs must also be discarded.
Check that you have hermetically resealable plastic bags for storing removed parts. Parts stored in this way will be
less susceptible to the risk of contamination. The bags are single-use only. Once used, they must be thrown out.
Use lint-free cleaning cloths (cloth part reference 77 11 211 707). Using normal cloth or paper is prohibited. They are
not lint-free and could contaminate the fuel circuit. Each cloth should only be used once.
Use fresh cleaning agent for each operation (used cleaning agent is contaminated). Pour it into an uncontaminated
container.
For each operation, use a clean brush in good condition (the brush must not shed its bristles).
Use a brush and cleaning agent to clean the unions to be opened.IMPORTANT
Cleaning the engine using a high pressure washer is prohibited because of the risk of damaging connections. In
addition, moisture may collect in the connectors and create electrical connection faults.
IMPORTANT
Before any work is carried out on the high pressure injection system, protect:
–the accessories and timing belts,
–the electrical accessories, (starter, alternator, electric power-assisted steering pump),
–the flywheel surface, to prevent any diesel from running onto the clutch friction plate.
