9.7.3 Engine stops and the Overheating lamp is lit
A number of reasons explain why the engine reverts to
safety mode and is stopped by the electronics.
a. Water in the fuel fi lter
b. A cooling problem
c. A lack of lubrication
Trouble-shooting
a. Water in the fuel fi lter
• Remove the safety cover at the right-hand side (11.2.1).
• Disconnect the electrical fl ying lead of the diesel fi lter (1).
• Turn the start key to position 1.
• Check whether the temperature indicator is still into
an alarm condition.
• If an alarm is no longer displayed on the control
panel, this means that the diesel fi lter contains too
much water.
• Remove the key and drain off the water in the diesel fi lter (see 11.3.6).
In future, use a better quality of diesel fuel and avoid condensation in the diesel tank.
• If the indicator lamp is still lit, this indicates a problem with the engine cooling.
• Allow the engine to cool down and check for possible causes of overheating.
1. Check the level of cooling liquid in the radiator
(engine must have cooled down before removing the plug !).
2. Possible leak in radiator or loose hose coupling.
3. Blocked radiator : inadequate fl ow of cold air
4. Accumulation of dirt in the cocoon around the engine
5. Fan problem (belt broken)
6. Inadequate lubrication
