838968 Volvo.Penta Oil cooler

Recommended Actions
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine again.
Note: The procedures have been listed in order of probability. Complete the procedures in order.Note: If the symptom only occurs under certain conditions, test the engine under those conditions. Examples of certain conditions are high engine speed, full load, and engine operating temperature. Troubleshooting the symptom under other conditions can give misleading results.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Diagnostic Codes
Note: Certain diagnostic codes and/or event codes may cause poor performance.
A. Use the electronic service tool to check for active or logged codes.
Engine Derate or Diagnostic Codes
Result: A diagnostic code is present.
Repair: Troubleshoot the code.
Result: A diagnostic code is not present.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Electrical connectors
A. Turn the start switch to the ON position.
B. Use the electronic service tool to check the intake manifold pressure.
C. Run the engine until the speed is equal to the maximum no-load speed.
D. Use the electronic service tool to make sure that the throttle is set to reach the maximum no-load speed.
Electrical connections
Result: The intake manifold pressure is not zero 0.5 kPa (zero 0.070 psi).
Repair: Check the 5 VDC sensor supply for the intake manifold pressure. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Sensor Supply - Test".
Result: All responses are normal.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
3. Air Intake and Exhaust System
A. Observe the check engine lamp. Check for an air filter restriction indicator, if equipped. Replace a plugged air filter. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
B. Check the air inlet and exhaust system for restrictions and/or leaks.
C. Check for ECM codes for inlet air restriction:
107-15: Engine Air Filter 1 Differential Pressure high - least severe (1)
107-16: Engine Air Filter 1 Differential Pressure high - moderate severity (2)
Restrictions
Result: There are restrictions in the air inlet or exhaust system.
Repair: Make the necessary repairs, Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Air Inlet and Exhaust System - Inspect" for additional information.
Result: A 107-15 or 107-16 code is active.
Repair: Refer to Troubleshooting, Inlet Air is Restricted.
Result: There are no restrictions in the air inlet or exhaust system.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
4. Valve Lash
Note: The valve lash can affect the performance of the engine.
A. Check the valve lash.
Valve lash
Result: The valve lash is not correct.
Repair: Check the valve lash. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/Adjust" for the correct procedure.
Result: The valve lash is correct.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
5. Turbocharger
Note: The turbocharger that is installed on the engine is a nonserviceable item. If any mechanical fault exists, then the faulty turbocharger must be replaced.
A. Ensure that the mounting bolts for the turbocharger are tight.
B. Check that the oil drain for the turbocharger is not blocked or restricted.
C. Check that the compressor blades rotate freely in the turbocharger.
D. Check that the turbine housing for the turbocharger is free of dirt and debris. Make sure that the housing is not damaged.
E. Check that the turbine blades rotate freely in the turbocharger.
F. Ensure that the wastegate on the turbocharger is adjusted correctly. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Turbocharger - Inspect". If the wastegate actuator is faulty, replace the turbocharger. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Turbocharger - Remove" and Disassembly and Assembly, "Turbocharger - Install".
Turbocharger
Note: Some oil residue/pooling may be seen, but this is not an indication that the turbo has failed. If the compressor and turbine blades are undamaged and rotate freely, it is likely the turbocharger is fault free.
Result: There is a fault on the turbocharger.
Repair: Replace the turbocharger. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Turbocharger - Remove" and Disassembly and Assembly, "Turbocharger - Install".
Result: The turbocharger is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 6.
6. Fuel Supply
A. Visually check the fuel level in the fuel tank. Do not rely on the fuel gauge only.
B. Ensure that the vent in the fuel cap is not filled with debris.
C. Ensure that the fuel supply valve (if equipped) is in the full OPEN position.
D. If the temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F), check for solidified fuel (wax).
E. Check the primary and secondary filter/water separator for water in the fuel.
F. Check for fuel supply lines that are restricted.
G. Check that the low-pressure fuel lines are tight and secured properly.
H. Check that the Electric Fuel Lift Pump (EFLP) is operating. If the EFLP is suspect, refer to Troubleshooting, "Relay - Test (Electric Fuel Lift Pump)".
J. Replace the primary and secondary fuel filters.
K. Check the diesel fuel for contamination. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Fuel Quality - Test".
L. Check for air in the fuel system. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Air in Fuel - Test".
M. Ensure that the fuel system has been primed. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Fuel System - Prime".
Fuel system
Result: The fuel supply is not OK.
Repair: Repair the fuel system or replace the fuel system components, as necessary.
Result: The fuel supply is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 7.
7. Clean the Fuel System
A. Following the instructions on the bottle, add Caterpillar Fuel System Cleaner 343-6210 to the fuel tank.
Electronic Unit Injectors
Result: Performance should be restored within 2-3 hours.
Return the unit to service, the fuel system will be cleaned during operation.
Result: Performance is not restored within 2-3 hours.
Proceed to Test Step 8.
8. Low Compression (Cylinder Pressure)
A. Perform a compression test. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Compression - Test".
Cylinder compression
Result: The results of the compression test are outside the specifications.
Repair: Investigate the cause and rectify any faults.
Note: Possible causes of low compression are shown in the following list:
Loose glow plugs
Faulty piston
Faulty piston rings
Worn cylinder bores
Worn valves
Faulty cylinder head gasket
Damaged cylinder head
Result: The results of the compression test are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 9.
9. Electronic Unit Injectors
A. Use the electronic service tool to perform the automatic "Cylinder Cut Out Test".
Note: If the compression test that was performed in Test Step 7 was satisfactory, the "Cylinder Cut Out Test" will identify any faulty injectors.
