Intercooler – Checking condensate drain for water discharge and obstruction

1. With the engine running, check if air emerges from drain bore(s) on the left and right sides on engine driving end. Result: If no air emerges: • Clean condensate drain bore(s). • Blow out with compressed air. 2. If a large amount of coolant is continuously discharged, the intercooler is leaking. Contact Service.

Emergency measures prior to engine start with a leaking intercooler

1. Remove injectors (→ Page 180). 2. Bar engine manually (→ Page 162). 3. Bar engine with starting system to blow out combustion chambers (→ Page 162). 4. Install injectors (→ Page 180).
