Fuel filter Pumping element

Figure 7 The pumping element is operated by a rocker arm governed
directly by the cam of the camshaft.
The pumping element is able to ensure a high delivery
pressure. The return stroke is made by means of a return
spring.

Nozzle
Garages are authorized to perform fault diagnosis solely on
the entire injection system and may not work inside the
injector-pump, which must only be replaced.
A specific fault-diagnosis program, included in the control
unit, is able to check the operation of each injector (it
deactivates one at a time and checks the delivery of the other
five).
Fault diagnosis makes it possible to distinguish errors of an
electrical origin from ones of a mechanical/hydraulic origin.
It indicates broken pump-injectors.
It is therefore necessary to interpret all the control unit error
messages correctly.
Any defects in the injectors are to be resolved by replacing
them.

Solenoid valve
107886 The solenoid, which is energized at each active phase of the
cycle, via a signal from the control unit, controls a slide valve
that shuts off the pumping element delivery pipe.
When the solenoid is not energized, the valve is open, the

8. Filtering cartridge - 9. Pipe - 10. Lower cover. When the solenoid is energized, the valve shuts and the fuel,
not being able to flow back into the return pipe, is pumped
into the nozzle at high pressure, causing the needle to lift.
The amount of fuel injected depends on the length of time
the slide valve is closed and therefore on the time for which
the solenoid is energized.
The solenoid valve is joined to the injector body and cannot
Injector-pump be removed.
On the top there are two screws securing the electrical
Figure 8 wiring from the control unit.
To ensure signal transmission, tighten the screws with a torque
wrench to a torque of 1.36 — 1.92 Nm (0.136 — 0.192 kgm).

For each injector replaced, hook up to the MODUS station

and, when asked by the program, enter the code punched on
the injector (→) to reprogram the control unit.

NOTE When checking the clearance of the rocker arms,

it is important to check the injector-pump

Filling phase
During the filling phase the pumping element (2) runs up to
the top position.
After passing the highest point of the cam, the rocker arm
roller comes near the base ring of the cam.
The fuel valve (1) is open and fuel can flow into the injector
via the bottom passage (4) of the cylinder head.
Filling continues until the pumping element reaches its top
limit.
