B 3 Engine Performance and Exhaust Gas Test

Preliminary work:
Engine Test, Adjustment 07-1100
Operation No. of Text Description and Time
Allowance 07-1203 or 07-1206

Test Steps

1 Front wheels block, place chocks approx. 4" in front of front wheels.
2 Tire pressure on rear wheels check, adjust to specified pressure.
3 Trunk check, remove heat sensitive and heavy objects.
4 Engine/drivetrain at partial load in selector lever position "S"
(approx. 34 hp)
bring to operating temperature, engine oil temperature approx. 80 oC. Do not exceed 120 oC.
5 Vehicles with ASR/ETS/ABS a) Working without Hand-Held Tester (HHT):
Ignition: OFF , bridge socket 6 and 1 (ground) on data link connector (DTC readout) (X11/4). Use adaptor. ASR/ETS/ABS MIL will light while driving. With multifunction indicator the text "Slipping, ASR, Control" appears on the display. Before disconnecting, the ignition must be: OFF .
b) Working with Hand-Held Tester (HHT):
Ignition: OFF , Disconnect connector on ABS/ASR hydraulic unit. ASR/ETS/ABS MIL lights! With multifunction indicator the text "Slipping, ASR, Control" appears on the display.
Reconnect connector after test and erase DTC memory.
6 Engine with blower cool, direct air stream to radiator and underside of vehicle (oil pan, exhaust system, catalytic converter, tires). Maintain a distance of approx. 3 ft. between blower and vehicle.
7 Start of delivery or GI value check (Test and Adjustment Data, section A).

8 Wide open throttle performance check, drive at WOT only as long as required to read instruments. Compare indicated performance values with Test and Adjustment Data, section A. Observe barometric pressure, engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature for this purpose.
9 Injection quantity check, only possible using HHT (Test and Adjustment Data, section A).
10 Intake manifold pressure check, only possible using HHT (Test and Adjustment Data, section A).
11 Engine coolant temperature check, only possible using HHT (Test and Adjustment Data, section A).
12 Intake air temperature check, only possible using HHT (Test and Adjustment Data, section A).
13 Fuel rack travel check, only possible using HHT (Test and Adjustment Data, section A).
14 Opacity check (Test and Adjustment Data, section A).

Note:
Check speedometer with signal generator only in case of complaints if maximum speed can not be obtained.

Limit test duration to the absolute minimum required to read the instruments (approx. 5 seconds for performance test; approx. 20 seconds for emission test).

General Information
The local barometric reading should agree with broadcast weather reports.

The measured performance value must be corrected with correction factors.
There are 2 correction factors:
Altitude correction factor
Performance correction factor

Determining performance relative to normal operating conditions:
1. Determine the local barometric pressure, altitude and intake air temperature.
2. Determine performance on the dynamometer.
3. Read the altitude correction factor in the altitude correction table according to the local altitude.
4. Local barometric pressure minus the altitude correction factor equals the barometric pressure (p) in mbar.

5. Determine the performance correction factor (KH) with the calculated barometric pressure (p) according to the present intake air temperature (t).
6. Calculate the performance relative to normal operating conditions with the performance correction formula:
Performance correction formula Ne o = Ne x K H
Neo = Performance relative to normal operating conditions in kW
Ne = Measured performance on dynamometer in kW
KH = Correction for local intake air temperature, barometric pressure and altitude.

1. Determine local barometric pressure, altitude and intake air temperature.
For example:
Local barometric pressure = 955 mbar
Local altitude = 400 m
Local intake air temperature = + 20 oC
2. Determine performance output on dynamometer = 100 kW.
3. The local altitude = 400 m, gives an altitude correction factor of 46 mbar in the altitude correction table.
4. The local barometric pressure minus the altitude correction factor equals the barometric pressure value (p):
955 mbar - 46 mbar = 909 mbar.
This barometric pressure value (p) must be rounded off to 910 mbar in order to use the table.
5. The performance correction table gives for a barometric pressure
(p) = 910 mbar and an intake air temperature of 20 oC, a correction factor (KH) of 1.0787
6. The performance output relative to normal operating conditions is:
Neo = Ne x KH
Neo = 100 kW x 1.0787 = 108 kW

Note:
The values for this example are marked in the correction tables.
Performance output on dynamometer: Ne = 100kW
Local barometric pressure: p = 955 mbar
Local intake air temperature: t = + 20 oC
Local altitude: 400 m above sea level


Conversion factors: 1 in Hg = 33.8638 mbar
1 ft = 0.3048 m
1 hp = 0.7457 kW
