Complaint:
Engine diagnosis warning lamp lights up, engine shakes at idle
Note:
Fault codes possibly stored:
FC 3698 (Fuel pressure regulation - The lower limit has been reached, the rail pressure sensor has malfunctions)
FC 3699 (Fuel pressure regulation - The upper limit has been reached, the rail pressure sensor has malfunctions)
in combination with:
FC 0745 (Self-adjustment of mixture formation for enriching at idle for the right-hand cylinder bank is above the permissible limit P 2187)
FC 0749 (Self-adjustment of mixture formation for enriching at idle for the left-hand cylinder bank is above the permissible limit P 2189)
Cause:
Mixture formation faults caused by leaks in the engine / intake manifold may result in incorrect measurements at the
fuel pressure regulator.

Example pictures
Remedy:
1. Check engine for leaks using the usual workshop methods (spraying the engine and observing the lambda values)
or using a low-pressure loss detector that operates with smoke and a contrast agent
Potential leaks
1.1 Check oil dipstick for correct seating
1.2 Check sealing rings on oil dipstick for damage
1.3 Check grommet of oil dipstick guide tube at oil pan for damage and correct seating
1.4. When checking the intake manifold for unmetered air, refer to the example pictures in the attachment
A. Vacuum fitting for air shutoff valves not installed
B. O-ring for brake booster vacuum line connection malfunctioning

C. Vacuum line at connection piece for intake manifold switchover is insecure or loosely seated
D. Seal between intake manifold and engine leaking
E. Seal between top and bottom sections of intake manifold faulty
F. Seal between air filter assembly and intake manifold incorrectly installed
G. Purge line not connected
H. Leakage at guide of shaft for intake manifold switchover
J. Leaks at crankcase ventilation (front hose to centrifugal oil separator, rear pressure regulating valve with line)
Note:
1. Observe tightening pattern of intake manifold mounting bolts
2. Use new bolts/ intake manifold seals
ONLY affects model 164.177 up to VIN xA 185373:
Check diameter of fuel feed line to rail at the height of the metal weave (should be 13.6mm); if the thinner fuel feed line (diameter 11.0mm) is still installed, it must be replaced
