5. GUIDELINES ON ENGINE SERVICE
To prevent personal injuries and vehicle damages that can be caused by mistakes during engine and
unit inspection/repair and to secure optimum engine performance and safety after service works, basic
cautions and service work guidelines that can be easily forgotten during engine service works are
described in.
Cautions before service works
For safe and correct works, you must observe the working procedures and instructions in this
manual. And, use the designated tools as follow:
Engine stand / Heavy duty engine jack
To prevent the engine from starting abruptly, do not allow anybody to get in the vehicle while
servicing in engine compartment.
Before work on engine and each electrical equipment, be sure to disconnect battery negative (-)
terminal.
Before service works, be sure to prepare the works by cleaning and aligning work areas.
Do not allow the foreign material get into the fuel injection system.
When removing the engine, use only the safety hook on engine and engine hanger. Do not
support the bottom of oil pan with a jack.
Engine and accessories
Completely drain the engine oil, coolant and fuel from engine before removal.
Before disassembling/assembling the engine components, carefully read the working procedures
in this manual.
Make sure to keep the specified tightening torques during installation.
Clean and properly lubricate the parts before reassembly.
Carefully check that there are not any interference while servicing. ▶

Electrical equipment ▶
Electric devices should be handled more carefully.
Currently, the engine has a lot of electric devices. there could be poor engine performance, incomplete
combustion and other abnormal symptoms due to short circuit or poor contact.
Before work on engine and each electrical equipment, be sure to disconnect battery negative (-)
terminal.
When replacing the electric device, use only genuine part and check the conditions of connections
and grounds. Loosened connection or ground make cause a fire and personal injury. -
-Fuel and lubrication system ▶
Do not allow the fluid and engine oil to make contact with the body paintwork and hoses.
If work on the fluid system such as fuel and oil, working area should be well ventilated and smoking
should be prohibited.
Gasket or seal on the fuel/lubrication system should be replaced with new ones and bolts and nuts
should be tightened as specified.
After removal/installation works, be sure to check whether there is leak on the connecting section. -

If fine dust or foreign material enters into DI engine's fuel system, there can be serious damages in HP
pump and injectors. Thus, be sure to plug the inlets of removed fuel line components with cap and
protect removed parts not to be contaminated with dirt. (Refer to cleanness in this manual while
working on DI engine fuel system)

Water
separator
(2) Di engine and its expected problems and remedies can be caused by
water in fuel
System supplement against paraffin separation ▶
In case of Diesel fuel, paraffin, one of the elements, can be separated from fuel during winter and then
can stick on the fuel filter blocking fuel flow and causing difficult starting finally. Oil companies supply
summer fuel and winter fuel by differentiating mixing ratio of kerosene and other elements by region
and season. However, above phenomenon can be happened if stations have poor facilities or sell
improper fuel for the season. In case of DI engine, purity of fuel is very important factor to keep internal
preciseness of HP pump and injector.
Accordingly, more dense mesh than conventional fuel filter is used. To prevent fuel filter internal
clogging due to paraffin separation, SYMC is using fuel line that high pressure and temperature fuel
injected by injector returns through fuel filter to have an effect of built-in heater (see fuel system).
System supplement and remedy against water in fuel ▶
As mentioned above, some gas stations supply fuel with excessive than specified water. In the
conventional IDI engine, excessive water in the fuel only causes dropping engine power or engine
hunting. However, fuel system in the DI engine consists of precise components so water in the fuel can
cause malfunctions of HP pump due to poor lubrication of pump caused by poor coating film during
high speed pumping and bacterization (under long period parking). To prevent problems can be
caused by excessive water in fuel, water separator is installed inside of fuel filter. When fuel is passing
filter, water that has relatively bigger specific gravity is accumulated on the bottom of the filter.
Water drain from water separator ▶
If water in the separator on the fuel filter exceeds a certain level, it will be supplied to HP pump with
fuel, so the engine ECU turns on warning lamp on the meter cluster and buzzer if water level is higher
than a certain level.
Due to engine layout, a customer cannot easily drain water from fuel filter directly, so if a customer
checks in to change engine oil, be sure to perform water drain from fuel filter.
To separate the water from the fuel filter,
remove the fuel filter assembly first.

2. INSPECTION
1) Troubleshooting
When Abnormal Noises are Heard from the Engine Room ▶
For the vehicle equipped with DI engine, if a learning noise occurs in each range or other noises
occur, the major cause of it is a faulty turbocharger assembly. But an interference issue, poor
tightness or loose in the intake and exhaust system also can cause those noises. This is mainly
because the operator didn't follow the instruction exactly when reconnecting the intake hoses and
pipes which were disconnected to check the system or replace the air cleaner. If the intake system
is free of any faults, check the EGR and PCV oil separator connected to the intake system.
The figure may be different from the actual engine. Therefore, read thoroughly below before
replacing the parts.
2) Abnormal Noise Caused by Poor Tightness of Intake System
When the DI engine is running, the air entered into the engine flows in the sequence as shown above.
If high intake pressure is applied to the loose or damaged part, a whistling noise may occur, the intake
air volume is measured incorrectly or the engine power is derated.

3) Troubleshooting Sequence
The basic checks for intake system are as follows:
Basic Checks for Intake System ▶
Make sure to replace or clean the air cleaner
element periodically. Otherwise, engine will be
derated or work abnormally because of low
intake air volume.
Unlike the fuel system, which is a closed
circuit, the intake system is an open circuit
system. Therefore any malfunction may occur
due to dust and dirt.
Most of the connections consist of hoses so the
system cannot withstand high temperature and
pressure. Also it can be deformed or loosened
easily because it is a clamp mounting system.
Thus, when checking the engine, basic
inspections, such as tightened status check and
visual inspection for hose, etc., should be carried
out in advance.
Other Checks for Intake System ▶
If the intake system is free of any faults,
check for EGR and PCV oil separator.

2. INSPECTION
1) Cautions During Driving
The following lists cautions to take during test drive and on the turbocharger vehicle, which must be
considered during the operation.
It's important not to drastically increase the engine rpm starting the engine. It could make rotation at
excessive speed even before the journal bearing is lubricated and when the turbocharger rotates in
poor oil supply condition, it could cause damage of bearing seizure within few seconds.
If the engine is running radically after replacing the engine oil or oil filter brings poor oil supply
condition. To avoid this, it's necessary to start off after idling the engine for about 1 minute allowing
oil to circulate to the turbocharger after the replacement.
When the engine is stopped abruptly after driving at high speed, the turbocharger continues to rotate
in condition where the oil pressure is at '0'. In such condition, an oil film between the journal bearing
and the housing shaft journal section gets broken and this causes abrasion of the journal bearing
due to the rapid contact. The repeat of such condition significantly reduces life of the turbocharger.
Therefore, the engine should be stopped possibly in the idle condition. 1.

3.
After string for long period of time during winter season or in the low temperature condition where
the fluidity of engine oil declines, the engine, before being started, should be cranked to circulate
oil and must drive after checking the oil pressure is in normal condition by idling the engine for few
minutes.
