    II!i_.!1l1 PREFACESmall though thIs Workshop Manual ls In size, it lacks no detail in coveringmost of the servicing and repalr of the Mercedes Van and Camper Dieselmodels listed on the outside cover with 2.3 and 2.9 l itre engine (engine types601 and 602) and the ear lier 2.4 l it re engine (engine type 616)_Brief, easy-to-foflow instructions are given, free from all necessarycomplications and repetit ions, yet containing all the required technical detai land information, and many diagrams and illustrations.Compiled and I llust rated by exper ts , this manual p rov ides a concise source ofhelpful informat ion , a ll o f which has been cross-checked for accuracy to themanufadurer's of fi cia l service and repa ir procedures, but many instructionshave derived from actual practice to facil itate your work Where special toolsare required, these are identif ied in the text if absolu tely necessary and we donot hesitate to advise you if we feel that the operation cannot be properlyundertaken without the use of such tools.The readers own judgement must ul timately decide just what work he wil l feelable to undertake, but there is no doubt, that with this manual to assist him,there will be many more occasions where the delay, inconvenience and thecost of having the van off the road can be avo ided orminimised.The manual Is called "Pocket Mechanic" and is produced in a handy glovepocket size with the aim that it should be kept In the vehicle whilst you aretravelling. Many garage mechanics themselves use these publications intheir work and if you have the manual with you in the vehicle you wi!! have aninvaluable source of reference which wiU quickly repay its modest ini tial cost.A genera! faul tf inding ( troubleshoot ing) section is inc luded at the end of themanual and all items listed are taken from actual experience, together withthe necessary remedies to correct faults and malfunctioning of certain parts.Important Note: The main text of the engine Section and someother sections associated with the engine, covers the 601 and602 engine, although technical data are also given for the 616engine. Differences for the 616 engine are described at the endof the manual ina separate section.

    Cylinder Head - Removal and InstallationThe fol lowi ng i nfo rmati on shoul d be noted when work Is carr ied out on a cyl inder head:

    The cylinder head is made of light-alloy. Engine coolant, engine oil, Ihe airrequ ired to i gn ite t he fue l and the exhaust gases are d ir ec ted th rough the cyl inderhead. G low p lugs , i nj ec to rs , p re -combust ion chambers and val ve l appe ts are f it tedt o the cyl inder head. A lso In the cyl inder heads you w il l fi nd t he camshaft .

    16

    The exhaust man ifold and the Inl et mani fo ld are bolted to the outs ida of the head.T he ruel en te rs the head on one s ide and exits on the other s ide , I.e. the head Is o fthe well-known "cross flow" type.

    The eylinder head Is fitted with various sender units, sensors and switchingvalves, responsible for eer taln funet lons of the temperature contror .

    As the cylinder head Is made of light alloy, H I s p rone to d is to rt ion If , f or example ,t he order o f s l aekenl ng or ti gh teni ng o f t he cyl inder head bol ts I s not observed. Fort he same reason never remove the cyl inder head from a hot eng ine.

    A c yli nder head cannot be checked In fi tted pos ltlon . Some tlmes the cyl inder headgaske t w il l " bl ow" , a ll owi ng a ir In to t he coo li ng sys tem. A qul ck check Is possi bl eafter open ing the coolanl reservoi r cap (engi ne fai rly co ld). Al low the eng ine towarm-up and observe the coolant. Visible air bubbles point In m ost casesto a "blown" gaske t. Further evi dence Is wh ite exhaust smoke, oil i n the coo lan t orcoolant in the engine oil. The latter can be checked at the all dipstick. A white,g rey emuls ion on the d ipst ick Is more or l ess a con fl rmat ion o f a damaged cyl indergasket.

    If you are convinced that water has entered the engine and you want to get homeor to the nearest garage, unscrew the Injectors and crank the engine with thes ta rt er motor f or a wh il e t o e ject the water. Re fi t t he i nj ec to rs , s ta rt the eng ine anddri ve to your des ti na ti on wi thou t swi tchi ng o ff t he eng ine. Thi s i s t he onl y methodto avo id ser ious eng ine damage (ben t connecti ng rods for example ).

    The cylinder head must only be removed When the engine Is cold. The head Isremoved toge ther w ith the exhaust man if ol d, but the Inl el man ifo ld mus t be separatedfrom the cyli nder head befo re the head can be l in ed off. New cyl inder head gaske tsare wrapped In pla sti c und must only be unwrapped Jusl befo re the gaske t Is fi ll ed.The cylinder head can be removed with the engine filled and these operations aredescri bed bel ow, bul note that opera ti ons may vary, dependi ng on the equ ipment f il led:

    Proceed as fol lows during dismantling:Remove all auxil iary par ts f rom the cyl inder head, Including the exhaust manifold.

    Remove the camshaft. All camshaft bearing brackets must be removed and thecamshaft lifted out. Each bearing bracket is marked with a number. Acorresponding number i s marked i nto the cyl inder head. I.e. there i s no need tomark the bearing brackets.

    A valve spr ing compressor i .s requ ir ed to remove the valves. Valves are held Inposi ti on by means of valve cotter halves. Compress the springs and remove thevalve cot te r hal ves wi th a pai r o f poi nted p li ers or a small magnet.

    If a valve spring compressor Is not avail able, i t is possibl e to use a short pi ece of tubeto remove the valve cotter halves. To do this, place the tube over the upper valvespring collar and hit the tube with a blow of a hammer. The valve co tte r hal ves wi llcollect in the i nside of the tube and the components can be removed. The valve headmust be supported from the other side of the cyl inder head. Keep the hammer In cl osecon tact wi th the l ube to prevent t he cott er hal ves f rom f ly ing out. Remove the valve spri ng coi lar and the valve spring. The valve sprlngs (one

    spri ng per valve) are i dentified with a paint spot and only a spring with a pai nt spotof the same colour must be rrtled. A thrust ring is fitted underneath each valvespring and can be removed.
