Remedy:
Perform the Following:
1) Smoke test intake/exhaust and check for leaks. NOTE: The intakes to the turbochargers as well as the tubes from
the turbochargers to the intercoolers must be tested.
•
Repair as necessary.
•
If no leaks are found, or repair does not remedy complaint proceed to step (2).
2) Inspect ignition coils and verify they are PN: A 177 906 95 00.
•
Replace as necessary.
•
If all coils are PN A 177 906 95 00 swap the coil(s) of the misfiring cylinder(s) with those of cylinder(s) that are
not misfiring and road test the vehicle.
•
If the misfires move with the coils, replace the coils and the spark plugs on original misfiring cylinders

•
If the misfires do not move with coils, proceed to step (3)
3) Perform a Xentry guided high pressure fuel test from cold start and obtain the injector performance data, and initial
quick test with fault freeze
•
If the test fails for either bank, replace the high pressure fuel pump for that bank.
•
If the test passes for both banks, road test the car with ECO start/stop disabled and allow the vehicle to achieve
operating temperature
•
Shut the vehicle down and observe the fuel pressures on the left and right banks at t=0, t=30 minutes, t=60
minutes, and t>120 minutes
•
If at any time the fuel pressure drops below the minimum value and/or a large differential exists between the left and right banks, boroscope the cylinders on the bank with low fuel pressure and determine if one or more of the injectors is leaking.
•
If the fuel pressure remains within acceptable limits proceed to step (4)
•
If one or more of the injectors is leaking, open a PTSS case and upload pictures of the leaking
injector(s) taken with the boroscope as well as the information collected via Xentry thus far.
•
Replace the leaking injector(s)
•
Update the IMA coding for the new injectors in their respective cylinders via Xentry
•
Perform an engine adaptation drive
•
Upload the new injector performance data and quick test to the case
•
Road test the vehicle. If the complaint is no longer present the PTSS case can be closed and
the vehicle released.
4) Open PTSS Case if Above do not Remedy the Complaint:
Include in the case:
1.
All Data from step (3)
2.
MED1775 Control Unit Log
3.
Software update check for ME and Transmission control units
4.
Engine Performance Data
5.
Injector Performance Data
6.
Graphical Readout of Fault Counter from Cold Start
7.
Mechanical Compression Test of ALL Cylinders NOTE: A PICOscope compression test is also acceptable if a
mechnical compression tester is not available
8.
Leakdown Test of ALL cylinders
9.
Boroscope of MISFIRING Cylinder(s)
•
Important: Before performing the boroscope examination, it is imperative that the engine be left to sit until
cold and that the piston is at BDC.
