• WPA2.3 WP-Title: Hardware Procurement

• Main objectives of WPA2.3:

– Completion of all multi-cylinder engines.– Achievement of a uniform configuration of all engines.– Layout of crankcase ventilation system and procurement.

• Status Summary of WPA2.3: All three engines completed and tested.– Conversion of engines 2 and 3 from CR = 13 to CR = 12.– Layout crankcase ventilation system completed and tested.

• Task A2.3.3 Multi cylinder engines generation 2 - Status:• Third multi-cylinder engine (gen. 2, engine number: YK0003173)

was completed.

• Initial test on engine test bench.

• Conversion from CR = 13 to CR = 12 (piston InGAS-V1).

• Handed over to Continental in March 2010.

• Layout of crankcase ventilation system completed and tested. Final test including piping on engine test bench or vehicle still outstanding.

• Investigations on engine test bench to improve cam phaser behavior carried out. A solution for satisfactory stationary operation was found. Transient behavior is still insufficient.

• Problems / Changes compared to plan

– Engine damage due to wear of slide rail. • Engine No. 2 was sent to AVL as replacement.• Redesign of slide rails with different material is in progress.

– Adjustment of cam phaser too slow.• Measurement of oil pressure in preparation.
