Petrol models
1. Remove the spark plugs.
2. Immobilize the engine, making it possible to crank it with a starter without starting - disconnect the fuel pump relay (see chapter Supply system). Alternatively, locate and remove the fuel pump fuse.
Attention! On models equipped with a catalytic converter, immobilizing the engine by turning off the ignition system without turning off the power system can lead to failure of the working element of the converter due to the ingress of unburned fuel into it, which then invariably ignites during normal engine start.
3. Turn the engine over with the starter until the oil pressure warning light goes off. If the lamp does not turn off after a few seconds of cranking the engine, recheck the oil level and the oil filter is secure. If everything is in order, check the condition of the oil pressure switch wiring. You should not continue trying until you are sure that the oil is properly circulating through the engine.
4. Replace the spark plugs and connect the power system.
Diesel models
1. Disconnect the wiring from the shut-off valve on the injection pump (see chapter Supply system).
2. Cranking the engine with a starter, get the oil pressure warning lamp off.
3. If the lamp does not turn off after a few seconds of cranking the engine, recheck the oil level and the oil filter is secure. If everything is in order, check the condition of the oil pressure switch wiring. You should not continue trying until you are sure that the oil is properly circulating through the engine.
4. Connect electrical wiring to shutoff valve.
All models
1. Start the engine - the procedure may take a little longer than usual due to the need to fill the power system path.
2. With the engine running at idle, check for signs of coolant, oil, and fuel leaks. You should not panic if there is a smell of burning and smoke appears - this is the burnout of the lubricants used during assembly.
3. On gasoline modules, there may be a slight violation of the stability of the idle speed until the necessary parameters are restored in the ECU memory, which takes some time.
4. On diesel and 1.6 liter models, the hydraulic tappets may work with an increased noise level at first, but after a few seconds the background should return to normal.
5. If everything is in order, wait for the upper radiator hose to warm up, then turn off the engine.
6. On diesel models check up installation of phases gas distribution of TNVD and turns of idling.
7. Allow the engine to cool for a few minutes, then check the oil and coolant levels. Make appropriate adjustments if necessary.
8. On all models, there is no need to tighten the cylinder head fasteners.
9. If pistons, piston rings or crankshaft bearings have been replaced, the engine should be run in as if it were new. Those. during the first 1000 km (600 miles) run, you should avoid fully opening the throttle, try not to coast and at low engine speeds. It is also recommended to replace the engine oil and oil filter at the end of the break-in.
