Vacuum test
Oil seals tend to fail when subjected
to a vacuum, i.e. the sealing lip lifts
away from the crankshaft during the
piston's induction stroke because
there is no internal counterpressure.
: Connect suction hose (1) of
vacuum pump 0000 850 3501 to
the nipple (2).
– Close the vent screw on the
pump.
– Operate the vacuum pump until

the pressure gauge indicates a
vacuum of 0.5 bar.
If the vacuum reading remains
constant, or drops to no more than
0.3 bar within 20 seconds, it can be
assumed that the oil seals are in
good condition.
If the vacuum drops to less than 0.3
bar within 20 seconds, the oil seals
are defective and have to be
replaced, b 7.8.1.
Pressure test
: Connect pressure hose (1) of
tester 1106 850 2905 to the
nipple (2).
– Close the vent screw on the

– Operate the pump bulb until the
pressure gauge indicates a
pressure of 0.5 bar.
If this pressure remains constant for
at least 20 seconds, the engine
housing is airtight.
If the pressure drops, the leak must
be located and the faulty part
replaced.
– To find the leak, coat the suspect
area with oil and pressurize the
crankcase. Bubbles will appear if
a leak exists.
