decreases
The engine has too much load Decrease the fuel injection
quantity
The engine operates with too much cylinder
lubricating oil
See 7218−1, paragraph 6.4
Adjustment − lubricating oil
feed rate
Injection nozzles do not completely change
the fuel into a spray, e.g. because there
trumpets, worn or blocked spray holes
Clean the parts. Do a check
to adjust the parts, or replace
the parts
The fuel is incorrect, or the viscosity is too
high (not not sufficiently heated)
See 0270−1 paragraph 2

piston rings have leaks, exhaust valve leaks
Replace the piston rings,
grind the valve seat and head
Bores in upper housing of the exhaust valve
are clogged. Exhaust valves close too late
Do a check and clean the
parts
The servo oil pressure is too low, the servo
oil pump control is defective, oil leakage
Do a check of the oil flow.
Find and repair the leaks

transmitter.
The engine stops without
operator input (without a

stopped. The fuel filters are blocked. The
booster pump is defective. Defective
switching. The fuel rail pressure is too low.
The fuel system leaks.
Fill the daily tank. Clean the
filter. Find other causes and
repair the defects. Find and
repair leaks.
