Irregular engine running

Error code: P1187

Common rail pressure is too high/low

If the above fault code is read in the fault memory of this vehicle model's ECU, this may be associated with a defect in the fuel filter. Air inclusions in the fuel line after the filter can lead to a lack of fuel flow.

In this case, the fuel supply should be checked and the fuel filter should be replaced if necessary.

The vehicle manufacturer offers a modified fuel filter in the spare parts program.

Spare part number:

Fuel filter A 611 092 00 01

Fuel filter (bio diesel) A 611 092 00 01

Afterwards clear the fault memory entry using a diagnostic instrument.
