The engine is liquid cooled, 90° V-6 cylinder. The cast iron block is one piece and each cylinder
has a separate cylinder head. It has overhead valves, 4 per cylinder, two intake valves and two
exhaust valves. Roller cam followers ride on the camshaft which move the push rods that open
and close the valves. The Unit pumps also ride on the camshaft which send pressurized fuel
through a solenoid to the fuel pipe to the fuel delivery nozzles, which are located directly over
the top of the piston. The unit pumps are electronically controlled by the MR (Motor Regulator)
or PLD controller, a crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor and unit pump
solenoids.

The Unit Pump (3) ride on individual lobes on the engine camshaft (9). There is one Unit Pump
per cylinder. The Unit Pumps are mounted in the block of the engine under the intake manifold.
There are passages in the block that route fuel to and from the Unit Pumps. The fuel delivery
nozzles (1) are located in the cylinder head and are positioned directly above the pistons. A
connector pipe (2) is used to direct fuel from theUnit Pump to the injector nozzles. Internal pas-
sages in the cylinder heads allow excess fuel from the nozzles to be bled off. A solenoid (5)
controls the fuel metering valve (4). During the suction stage, the pump plunger (8) moves
down. As a result of the constant fuel excess pressure of approximately 600kPa (6 bar) (87
psi) in the fuel low pressure circuit, the high pressure chamber (7) of the unit pump is fitted with
fuel through the supply gallery (6)

During the pre-delivery stage, the pump plunger (8) moves up. As the valve (4) is not yet
closed, the fuel is first forced into the pressure relief chamber (10), then into the return gal-
lery(11).

As soon as the valve (4) is closed while the pump plunger (8) is moving towards its top dead
centre, the unit pump is in the delivery stroke. Fuel injection into the combustion chamber takes
place in the delivery stage. During this stage the fuel pressure in the high pressure chamber
(7) rises to a pressure approximately 160 000 kPa (1600 bar) (23 206 psi).

After the valve (4) has opened (end of delivery), The fuel pressure in the high pressure cham-
ber (7) is collapsing. The remaining fuel delivery by
the pump plunger (8) up to the apex of the camshaft (9), is again forced into the pressure relief
chamber (10) and the return flow gallery (11).
The pressure relief chamber serves as an expansion chamber for the pressure peaks of the
unit pump in the residual stage. This prevents the pressure ratio of the adjacent unit pumps
being affected through the return flow gallery.
An entirely new concept has been developed for the charge air ducting of the 500 Series En-
gine. A compact charge air housing, in single unit format for the V6-engine with combined or
separate cold and hot air pipes is screwed centrally to the crankcase by means of clamps with
vertical bolts. This arrangement makes the housing easy to remove and install. The charge air
housing is elastically isolated from the individual cylinder heads by means of elastomer seals,
thereby reducing noise and compensating the tolerances and differing thermal expansion
rates.The V6-engines has one turbocharger.The turbine and compressor are designed for
rapid and dynamic torque build up even at low engine speeds, with ample torque response be-
tween 1000 and 1500 rpm

The MR (Motor Regulator) or also known as the PLD is mounted on the right HAND side of the
engine and is the heart of the Electronic control.The PLD has a small Heat Exchanger mounted
on the side of it to cool the unit. Diesel Oil from the tank in vented through this cooler.
The PLD permanently receives all relevant engine data from the numerous sensors on the en-
gine which include crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor,charge air pressure sensor ,
atmospheric sensor,fuel temperature sensor etc.The information recieved from these sensors
is used to manage the ideal time of fuel injection and quantity, in respect to engine operating
and external factors.
Warning signals or critical states (oil pressure, coolant temperature, engine speed etc.) can
also be achieved by activating certain parameters.
55 PIN CONNECTOR
This connector connects all the sensors and solenoids on the engine to the electronic control
unit (PLD).
16 PIN CONNECTOR
The 16 Pin connector connects the ADM or ECU in the cab to the PLD via a Mercedes Benz
Data cable (CAN BUS)
Battery positive,Ignition positive,Ground,Starter input and Outputs are also connected to this
connector.

1. Glow Plug.
2. Solenoid.
3. Cold Start Jet.
The cold start system operates only when the engine coolant temperature is below 15° C
(59° F). When the key switch is tuned to the “ON” the position, the glow plug (1) begins to heat
up and the indicator light on the dash will light up. Light will stay on and the glow plug will con-
tinue to heat up for approximately twenty seconds.
When the key switch is turned to the START position, the solenoid (2) is energized, allowing
fuel to flow to the cold start jet (3). The fuel from the jet is sprayed on the glow plug causing
the fuel to atomize. The atomized air/fuel mixture is directed to the cylinders by the incoming
air through the intake manifold.

The tachometer on the Menu Display Unit is accurate for test work.
There is no slow or fast idle adjustment. If slow or fast idle is not within specification, check for
an engine mechanical problem or an electrical failure.
To prevent accidental starting of the engine while performing valve adjustments, always turn battery
disconnect switch to “OFF”
There is 37 slots (1) machined in the flywheel. One slot has a dimple in it. This is the TDC tim-
ing mark. Turn engine in the direction of rotation until TDC timing mark (2) on flywheel lines up
in centre of the window in timing case.
Rocker arms and push rods for number one cylinder should be loose. If not, rotate engine 360°.
Engine must be at TDC on the compression stroke for number one cylinder.
Note: When adjusting valve clearance, the bolt on the valve bridge should on no account be loosened.

With number one cylinder on TDC, Check the valve clearance on cylinder one - intake and ex-
haust, cylinder two - exhaust, cylinder three - intake, cylinder four - exhaust and cylinder six -
intake. Crank engine until cylinder five is on TDC (cylinder one valve overlap):
Check valve clearance on cylinder two - intake, cylinder three - exhaust, cylinder four - intake,
cylinder five - intake and exhaust and cylinder six - exhaust.
To adjust clearance: Loosen locknut (1) and turn adjusting screw (2) in or out depending on
gap to big or small. Tighten locknut to specification while holding adjusting screw in position.
Adjust valves in same order used for checking. Check clearance again after tightening locknut.
With engine off, check the clearance between the control arm (1) and the stop (2). In the brake
valve “OFF” position, the control arm should be resting on the stop.
Disconnect the air line (3) from the cylinder. Connect a regulated air supply line to the cylinder.
Regulate air pressure so pressure is approximately 740 - 810 kPa (7.4 - 8.1 bar) (107 - 117
psi).

Check control arm (1) to stop (2) clearance. The control arm must not rest on the stop. There
must be slight clearance between the control arm and stop to ensure that exhaust brake is fully
closed.
If adjustment is needed, loosen locknut (3), remove clip (4) and disconnect cylinder from
control arm. Turn rod end (5) for adjustment.
ENGINE TESTS
CYLINDER COMPRESSION TEST
Note: Compression pressures are affected by the cranking speed of the engine. Before beginning the
test, ensure that the batteries are fully charged and the starter motor is in a good working condition.
Engine must not be started with fuel line from the unit pump disconnected. Remove the F16 ECU Power
Relay fuse to prevent engine from starting.Remove the F16 ECU/EUI Power Relay Fuse.
Crank engine approximately ten seconds. Record readings and compare to specification.
