corrosive is formed. Contact with the skin can result in
severe chemical burns. Splashes in your eyes can re-
sult in severe chemical burns. If you breathe in the
fumes, your lungs can be permanently damaged.

WARNING! Be very careful when working on en-


gines which have been exposed to high tempera-
tures, such as overheating or fire. Seals must
never be cut with a flame torch during disassem-
bly, or burned in uncontrolled circumstances af-
terwards.

• Always use chloroprene rubber gloves (gloves for


chemicals handling) and goggles.
• Handle the removed seal in the same way as cor-
rosive acid. All residue, including ash, can be high-
ly corrosive. Never use compressed air to blow
anything clean.
• Put the remains in a plastic container, seal it and
apply a warning label. Wash the gloves under run-
ning water before removing them.
The following seals are most probably made from fluo-
rocarbon rubber:
Seal rings for crankshafts, camshafts, countershafts.
O-rings, regardless of where they are installed. O-rings
for cylinder liner sealing are almost always made of flu-
orocarbon rubber.

Please note that seals which have not been ex-


posed to high temperature can be handled normal-
ly.

Trim code, injector


There is also a code on the electrical connector which
is used in production. It contains the part number, se-
rial number, date, trim code type, manufacturer and
trim code.
When one or more injectors are changed, the control
unit must be programmed with the trim code(s) for the
new injector(s). The code consists of 9 digits.
Trim code programming is done with VODIA and only
needs to be done for the cylinder whose injector is
changed.

Unit injector working phases

The working sequence of the unit injector can be di-


vided into four phases:
• Filling phase
• Spill phase
• Injection phase
• Pressure reduction phase

The pump piston always pumps the same volume of


fuel forwards and backwards through the injector. It is
only when the fuel valve is closed that pressure is
built up and injection takes place. The duration and
timing of the current impulse determines the volume
of fuel injected and its timing.

Filling phase
During the filling phase, the pump piston travels to-
wards its upper position.
The highest point on the camshaft lobe is passed and
the rocker is on the way down towards the camshaft

The fuel valve is open, since the solenoid valve is not

the fuel duct, past the fuel valve, and into the pump

Spill phase
The spill phase starts when the camshaft has turned
to the position where the cam lobe operates the rocker
and starts to press the pump piston down. Fuel flows
back through the fuel valve and out into the fuel duct.

activated by the control unit, and the fuel valve clos-
es.
The camshaft lobe continues to press the pump pis-
ton down, via the rocker arm. Since the passage
1 through the fuel valve is closed, pressure quickly
builds up. The pressure lifts the injector needle and in-
jection takes place.
2 The injection phase continues for as long as the fuel
valve is closed.

3. Injector needle

Pressure reduction phase


The pressure reduction phase starts when the control
unit thinks that the engine has received the amount of
fuel it needs, and then cuts the current impulse to the
solenoid valve. The fuel valve opens and the fuel
1 flows back out into the fuel duct. The pressure falls
rapidly and the injector needle closes, so that injec-
tion is stopped.

Group 25 Inlet and exhaust system Design and function

Turbo
The turbocharger is driven by the exhaust gas which
passes through the turbine housing on its way out of
the exhaust system.
The stream of exhaust gas makes the turbine wheel in
the turbine housing rotate. The compressor wheel is
mounted on the same shaft as the turbine wheel. The
compressor turbine is located in a housing which is
connected between the air filter and the inlet manifold
on the engine.
When the compressor wheel rotates, air is sucked in
from the air filter. The air is compressed and is
pressed into the cylinders of the engine, after it has
first been cooled by its passage through the intercool-
er.

Group 26 Cooling system Design and function

Intercooler
The intercooler is located beside the radiator and is air
cooled.
The purpose of the intercooler is to cool the induction
air, which means that the volume of the air falls and a
larger volume of air can be pressed into the combus-
tion chambers. This gives better combustion of the
fuel, and better fuel utilization.
Intercooling the engine gives a power increase of
about 10%. Engine torque increases and fuel con-
sumption falls.
A diesel engine with turbocharger and intercooler has
better specific efficiency than any other internal com-
bustion engine.

EMS 2, Engine Management


System
EMS 2 is the electronic engine management system
The system consists of 6 unit injectors, a number of
sensors that supply the control module with measure-
ments, a socket for diagnosis (VODIA) and functional
checks.

The control unit


The central component in the injection system is the
control unit. This receives continual information from a
number of sensors on the engine, so that it can de-
cide the fuel volume and injection timing. Control sig-
nals to the unit injector fuel valves via electric cables.
The control unit stores any faults and non-conform-
ance which occurs in the system. Intermittent faults
are also stored so that they can be traced at a later
date.
The control unit is designed for installation directly on
the engine block, with four M8 screws. The control
unit has drain holes by the corners of the long sides,
to prevent water from collecting inside the unit. The
holes are also needed to obtain correct measurement
values from the internal atmospheric pressure sensor,
and must therefore never be covered over.
A coolant loop is fixed to the outside of the control
unit housing with six M6 screws.
The control unit has two, individually coded 62-pin
connectors. The connectors are locked with a catch
on the connector.
The control unit is also equipped with vibration damp-
ers, to resist engine vibration. The vibration dampers
also insulate the unit from the engine block.

Charge air pressure, checking
Special tools:
Junction nipple .............................................. 9996666
Hose ............................................................. 9998493
Pressure gauge ............................................. 9998339

1. Connect the nipple with hose and pressure gauge


to the measurement connection on the inlet mani-
fold, please refer to “Location of measurement
connections”.

2. Compare the pressure with the pressure that can


be read with the VODIA tool, please refer to
“Workshop manual, EMS 2”
If the two measurements show different values,
the pressure sensor is faulty and must be
changed.

Pressure drop indicator, check


1. Check that the air filter is clean and that there are
no obstructions to air entry.

2. Remove the pressure drop indicator from the air


filter housing

3. Check the pressure drop indicator by sucking out


air until the indicator shows red. Re-set by press-
ing the yellow button.

4. When the air filter is blocked and pressure drop


occurs, the pressure drop indicator shows this by
indicating red. Change the indicator if it does not
function as in item 3 above.

5. Install the pressure drop indicator in the air filter


housing

45
Tests and settings

Intercooler, checking
1. Check the intercooler for damage to the cells and
connections.
If there is any damage, change the intercooler.

2. Check the intercooler and radiator for inner block-


age.
If there is any blockage, clean in accordance with
“Radiator, cleaning, internal”.

Inlet manifold, inspection


1. Check that the inlet pipes are clean inside, and
undamaged. Crushed, damaged or dirty inlet
pipes can reduce the charge pressure.

Charge air pipe, checking


1. Inspect the charge air pipes for visible cracks and
external damage.

2. Check that there is no oil in the charge air pipes.


If the pipes are damaged or the union seal rings
leak, the charge pressure will be too low and en-
gine performance will be affected.
If the pipes are contaminated with oil on the in-
side, this indicates oil leakage in the turbocharger
turbine shaft seal. In this case, the turbocharger
should be changed as a unit.
NOTE! If there is any oil in the charge air pipes and
charge air hoses, the intercooler and all pipes and
hoses in the charge air system must be cleaned very
carefully before the engine is started.

46
Tests and settings

Turbocharger, inspection
25507
1. Check that the turbocharger part number is cor-
rect for the engine variant. The wrong turbocharg-
er for the engine variant might not provide enough
charge pressure, which would reduce engine pow-
er.

2. Check that the turbocharger has the correct com-


pressor housing. If the wrong compressor housing
is installed on the turbocharger, the compressor
wheel might have been damaged or have too
much clearance between turbine wheel and hous-
ing. In both cases, charge air pressure will be too
low.

3. Remove the inlet manifold from the turbocharger.

4. Check the turbocharger for damage to the com-


pressor wheel and excessive end float on the tur-
bine shaft.

5. If there is any damage on the compressor wheel


or excessive end float on the turbine shaft, the
turbocharger must be changed as a unit.

6. Remove the exhaust pipe (muffler) from the turbo-


charger and check the turbine wheel.

7. Check the turbine wheel for damage. If the turbine


wheel is damaged, the turbocharger must be
changed as a unit.

Cooling system, cleaning


IMPORTANT! Cleaning must not be done if
there is a risk of freezing in the cooling system,
since the cleaning solution does not have any
frost protection properties.

NOTE! If the cooling system is flushed regularly, for


example by draining and refilling with rust-preventative
fluid, a smaller amount of flushing additive or simple
rinsing with clean water can be sufficient.

1. Drain the cooling system, see “Draining, cooling


system”.
2. Rinse the cooling system clean with water.
3. Fill the cooling system with radiator flushing
agent, follow the instructions on the package.
4. Run the engine until normal operating temperature
has been reached and then for another 2 hours.

NOTE! As an alternative the cooling system can be


filled with 15–20% concentrated coolant which is
drained after 1–2 days of operation.

5. Carefully flush the system at once with hot water


to prevent any dirt from settling back on the inte-
rior surfaces, and to remove any traces of acid.
Make sure that any heater controls are set to full
heat during emptying.
NOTE! To prevent dissolved dirt etc. from settling in
the cooling system the emptying must be done quick-
ly, within 10 minutes, without leaving the engine sta-
tionary for a long time before emptying. Remove the
filler cap and the lower radiator hose, if fitted, to in-
crease the rate of emptying.
6. Fill the system with Volvo Penta neutralizing mix-
ture, follow the instructions on the package.
Neutralize the residual cleaner for 10-15 minutes
at normal working temperature.
7. Carefully flush the system at once with hot water.
8. When the cooling system is completely clean, fill
it with new coolant that is recommended by Volvo
Penta.

IMPORTANT! It is extremely important that the


correct concentration of coolant is added to the
system. Mix in a separate, clean vessel before
adding into the cooling system. Ensure that the
liquids mix properly.

Cylinder liners and piston,


inspection

The cylinder liners and pistons must be carefully


cleaned before inspection and measurement.
Measurement of cylinder liner wear can be done with
the liner installed in the engine block.
NOTE! The cylinder liners must be taken out of the
engine block, to do a careful crack check.
The position of the cylinder liner must be marked with
a marker pen before it is removed, so that it will be
put back in the correct position if re-installed.

Cylinder liner
1. Do a crack check. Be specially careful when
checking the liner collars. The Magnaflux method
can be used for crack checking.
2. Measure the cylinder liners with a cylinder indica-
tor. In order to obtain the greatest possible accu-
racy in the wear measurement, the cylinder liner
must first be set with a gauge ring or micrometer.
Use the original diameter of the cylinder liner as
the base value.
3. Measure the cylinder liner at the end of travel of
the top piston ring, and at several places along its
travel.
At each measurement point, measurements
should be done along the length of the engine-
and across it.
4. If wear is greater than 0.45–0.50 mm, a complete
new kit should be used (pistons, liners, piston
rings, gudgeon pins and seals).
Oil consumption also has a bearing on when the
cylinder liners should be changed.
NOTE! Cylinder liners and pistons are classed togeth-
er. This means that cylinders and liners must not be
mixed. Pistons and cylinder liners are only supplied
as complete units for spare part purposes.

Pistons
Pistons should be changed if there are deep scratch-
es on the skirt surface, cracked or damaged piston
ring lands, worn piston ring grooves or missing circlip
grooves.

Inspect the camshaft very carefully to avoid unneces-
sary renovation.
The following applies when the need for renovation is
checked:
A. Clean the camshaft carefully. Measure the bearing
journals’ out-of-round, wear and taper.
Please refer to “Technical Data TAD1250VE,
TAD1251VE, TAD1252VE”.

B. Check whether there is any surface damage on the


bearing journals. If there is any damage on the sur-
face layer, the shaft must be re-ground. Please refer
to “Camshaft, wear check”.

C. Measure lengthwise crookedness in the camshaft


(runout).
Put the shaft on a pair of V-blocks under no.1 and
no.7 bearing journals, or set the camshaft up between
pins.
Measurement should be done on the 4:th bearing.
Please refer to the “Technical Data” chapter for per-
missible values.
It is not permissible to straighten the camshaft.

When grinding is done, it is important that fillet ra-
dii and transitions from fillet radii are kept within
the specified dimensions.

IMPORTANT! Grinding of the center main bear-


ing requires special attention to dimension “A”,
please refer to “Width of thrust bearing journal”
in the “Technical Data” chapter.

3. If sharp edges are formed at the oil duct inlet


holes during grinding, the edges must be removed
with a small grindstone or emery cloth.

Camshaft, wear check


Rocker arm bridge removed

Put a steel ruler across the camshaft lobes, parallel


with the camshaft axis, to check whether the cam pro-
files have been worn.
Measure the wear with a feeler gauge or wire gauge.
Alternatively, a digital caliper gauge can be used.
Compare the measured values with those specified in
“Technical Data”.

Guidelines for replacement


In normal conditions, un-evenness may occur on the
camshaft lobes in the engine. This does not mean
that the camshaft has to be changed. These marks do
not have any negative influence on either engine per-
formance or durability of the engine and its compo-
nents.
Examples are shown below, of acceptable and not ac-
ceptable wear.

Acceptable wear. Not acceptable wear.


The camshaft does not need to be changed. NOTE! The camshaft and associated rocker arms
must be changed.

102

Bearing housing for camshaft,


change

The production-installed bearing housings are ma-


chined together with the cylinder head, and can there-
fore not be moved from one cylinder head to another
one.
If a bearing housing is damaged, a replacement hous-
ing can be installed. All bearing housings must
then be changed, so that the bearing housing po-
sitions can be aligned.
The holes in the replacement housings are oval, which
allows the center bearing housings to be adjusted radi-
ally, and the front and rear housings to be adjusted
axially.
If the cylinder head is already equipped with replace-
ment housings, a damaged housing can be changed
without needing to change the other housings.

Replacement housings can be recognized since they


have oval holes for the guide sleeves.
If a replacement housings are installed, mark them
with their numbers, so they can be put back in the
same place as before, if they have been removed.

Turbo, replacing
Always find out and rectify the reasons for why the
turbocharger has failed, before a new turbocharger is
installed.

One condition for satisfactory functioning of the turbo-


charger is that the engines oil system and inlet sys-
tem are kept in good condition, i.e. that oil changes
and filter change are done at specified times, the right
grade of oil is used, and the air filter is correctly at-
tended to. The first action should therefore be to
check the engine oil, and if necessary, change the oil
filter and preferably run the engine for a few minutes
before the new oil filter is installed.

When the turbocharger is changed, blow out any rust


and soot flakes from the exhaust manifold. The flakes
can damage the turbine of the new unit.

It is important that the inlet pipe from the air filter is


also cleaned. Pieces from a failed turbine wheel can
remain in place and cause instant destruction of the
new turbocharger.

1. Turn off the main switch (-es) and check that the
engine is not connected to system voltage.
