CO2 level in exhaust gas is increased by approx. 0.08 % each time button -1- is pressed.
CO2 level in exhaust gas is reduced by approx. 0.08 % by pressing button -3-.

Notes:

Valid setting prior to adjustment remains stored if additional heater is switched off during CO2 adjustment or on exit from full load mode.
In the event of a considerable difference between specification and actual value, adaption value can also be entered directly.

Enter desired numerical value and confirm entry with Q key.

CO2 level can only be altered within certain limits (adaption value e.g. between "00105" and "00136". Actual adjustment limits depend on basic setting for this unit made by auxiliary/additional heater manufacturer). If CO2 level cannot be set as required, check combustion air blower and air intake, metering pump fuel delivery and additional heater exhaust system.

Who makes these pages, and how

TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.

The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.

Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
