TECHNICAL DATA - DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SPECIFICATION

Differential pressure between ambient pressure and engine internal pressure
  Nominal value  0+30-15 mbar

Result 

« There is a deviation between the measured value and the ambient pressure.

Measure

  Deviation Possible cause Measures
Result 1 Measured value < ambient pressure 0.95 bar  Pressure control valve faulty Replace the pressure control valve
Result 2 Measured value > ambient pressure 0.95 bar  Crankcase ventilation system blocked Clean the crankcase ventilation system
