For tightening the high pressure fuel pipes up to the


specified torque, please refer to above mentioned working
cards. Please use only Optimol-Paste White T, (work card
000.30 - Values for bolt tightening), which must be applied
on the surface of sealing cones.

To provide tightness of a high pressure sealing face, the


fuel deposits must be removed, before increasing the
torque (work card 435.05 - CR-components rework sealing
face / Handling of high-pressure fuel pipes).

DCI / No. 330 - February 2014

All high-pressure fuel pipes on the Common Rail injection system must be installed tension-free. If the high-
pressure fuel pipes are not installed tension-free, this may damage components or cause leakages in the
Common-Rail injection system.

Please find enclosed the updated table with the tightening torque for your engine documentation.

While tightening the high pressure pipes please make sure that the torque wrench with the spanner, if
required mounted on a extension is in green marked position shown in picture below. Only in this position the
required tightening torque can be applied correctly.
