Hydropushers

For what hydropushers serve?

Due to heating of the engine separate details of valvate mechanisms extend and extended. Therefore in order that valves kept tightness, despite the little extended cores, between a cam-shaft and tarelochny pushers there has to be a small side play or a gap. This side play – a so-called valvate gap – in old models of cars had to be regulated through certain periods. In Audi A4 at each actuating of the valve it occurs automatically due to so-called hydraulic alignment of a valvate gap which is carried out by tarelochny pushers. From here and name "hydropushers".

Actuating of valves by means of hydropushers: oil under high pressure is represented in red color. The amount of oil which is not used for actuating of valves is designated by pink color. Are designated by figures:

1 – cam-shaft cam;
2 – space of an oil collector;
3 – returnable valve;
4 – oil supply;
5 – camera of high pressure;

6 – valve core;
7 – press spring;
8 – cylinder;
9 – piston;
10 – hydropusher.

Noise in valves

The knock in valves in the field of a head of the cylinder can indicate one or several defective hydropushers.

But noise in the valve can arise also at serviceable hydropushers if:

  • shortly before start of the engine supply of oil on hydropushers was not provided yet;
  • the car before it moved with full loading at high external temperature;

  • long did not go by the car. Noise has to disappear at achievement by the engine of working temperature;
  • at extremely low level of oil the oil pump sometimes sucks in air.

Definition of a defective hydropusher

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Start the engine, and let it work, will not reach working temperature yet.
  2. Lift turns for 2 min. approximately to
    2500 rpm.
  3. If noise in valves does not disappear, then switch off the engine and dismantle a head of the block of cylinders.
  4. Turn the cylinder No. 1 in ignition moment VMT.
  5. Wring out all tarelochny pushers of the cylinder No. 1 a wooden klinyshk down. If at the pressed hydropusher it is possible between it and a cam-shaft to insert a template thickness
    0,20 mm, replace a pusher.
  6. Repeat the same process on other cylinders. For this purpose put each cylinder in VMT. This situation when at the checked cylinder all cams of a cam-shaft are equally turned up.

 Council: For replacement of a defective tarelochny hydropusher it is necessary to dismantle a cam-shaft. After installation of a new tarelochny pusher within 30 min. it is impossible to start the engine! The Tarelochny pusher has to "sit down". Otherwise valves will strike the piston.


For check of hydraulic pushers it is necessary to press a plastic or wooden wedge (1) the unloaded hydraulic pusher (2). Metal tools which it is possible to scratch easily a pusher surface cannot be used.
