Checking and repairing pipe cluster for heat exchanger

Fig. 1
When the pipe cluster is removed, we recommend
always checking the position of the deflectors (ar-
rows) (the picture shows the pipe cluster for a
D 2848 LE 403 engine).
Displaced deflectors may reduce the flow of cool-
ant, which in turn leads to an increase in coolant
temperature.
Fig. 2
Measure the position of the deflectors. Use the
pipe-cluster side with the collar (arrow) as refer-
ence edge (this side can be recognised as that end
of the pipe cluster with the larger diameter).

If deflectors are found displaced, bring them into
their original position.
To prevent the deflectors from being displaced
again, the 4 outer pipes on the edges (marked
black in the picture) are to be soldered on to every
deflector.
