The alternator regulator voltage is influenced by the ECM - BSD interface. The bat-
tery charge voltage can therefore be up to 15.5 V, depending on the battery temperature.
If a battery charge voltage of up to 15.5 V is measured, the regulator is not faulty. A high
charge voltage indicates a low battery temperature.
Air Conditioning Compressor
The “clutch free” A/C compressor is manufac-
tured by Denso. It functions continuously with
the engine running. The compressor is a 7-
cylinder swash plate type. The displacement
can be reduced to less than 3% when air con-
ditioning is not requested (no refrigerant is sup-
plied to the refrigerant circuit).
There is an internal compressor refrigerant cir-
cuit to maintain lubrication. The IHKA electron-
ics regulate the compressor output via an
external control valve (1).
Starter Motor
The starter motor is located on the right-hand
side of the engine below the exhaust manifold,
and is a compact planetary drive starter with a
1.8 kW output.
1. Starter motor with heat protective cover.
Power Steering Pump
The power steering pump is a tandem radial piston pump on vehicles equipped with
Dynamic Drive. A single vane pump is installed on vehicles without the Dynamic Drive.
Further information about the power steering pump can be found in the Chassis Dynamics
section.

Leakage Restraint System in the Water Pump
The water pump has a leakage restraint system for the functional leakage from the pump
shaft piston ring type seal. The coolant which escapes through the pump shaft sliding ring
seal usually accumulates and evaporates through a hold in the leakage chamber (evapora-
tion area).
If the sliding ring seal is faulty, the leakage chamber fills
completely with coolant. Sliding ring seal leakages can
be detected by monitoring the fluid level in the leakage
chamber (inspection hole).

In the past, fully functional water pumps were often replaced because the functional
sliding ring seal leakage which is necessary for water pump operation resulted in evapora-
tion residues being left on the external walls of the water pump.
The leakage restraint system has the advantage in that the coolant escaping from the slid-
ing ring seal (normal, functional leakage) evaporates without a trace and cannot be mis-
takenly identified as a water pump defect during visual inspections.
Timing Chain Cover Lower Section
The waterpump mounts to the lower section to
channel coolant to the engine block.
