That's not entirely true. Maybe you simply have a busted glow-plug (or whatever is used in your vehicle) and this failure is not reported via the indicator on the dashboard! If I had a busted glow plug the ECU would throw error 03402 (Glow plug current). The feed to the glow plug goes through an EC...

Hi Bernd,

I've got the parts coming from Germany for delivery in Chile (import into Argentina is difficult). I will go to MAN Calama and ask them to help me reassemble my transfer case.

Hi Pirx,

I couldn't risk exporting the G103 from South Africa to Chile and experiment. You are probably right, but the risk was too great for me.

In response to my Q1, the answer is Yes. I blanked the front drive shaft and am driving in RWD. Dave

Hi Jan, Thank you, Having spent a lot of time researching and having obtained the workshop manual, I can confirm: G102 has no neutral position. G103 has a neutral position. The Z means engagable front wheel drive (no differential). P means permanently engaged with differential. The G103Z is not comp...

Dear Community, MAN TGM 13.290 4WD / Transfer Case G102 Z We were driving down a dirt track in Argentina when the Transfer Case (TC) front drive shaft and propshaft came out of the TC. It flailed around a bit before we stopped but did not cause critical damage (exhaust pipe suffered most). I disconn...

Hi lura,

I don't know how it failed (but no, I did not hit a rock!)

Here are some pictures.

Dave

Thank you All Unfortunately I now have a much bigger problem. My transfer case failed yesterday in the middle of nowhere. I disconnected the propshafts and the police towed us to the nearest town (village) where we are now stranded. As we say in the UK, when it rains, it pours. Re flame start - I ch...

Hi Lura, My dashboard does not indicate that it has initiated flame start. What I'm really trying to find out is: For a TGM 13.290, what temperatures / altitudes is flame start initiated? There is no point me fault finding until I know there is a fault. Perhaps the ECU does not command flame start u...

Thank you Felix. I have now started engine. After weather warmed up. But we will go to Bolivia next. HIGHER and COLDER. So I wil buy additive in preparation. I would like to know what temperature my Flame Start should activate. I don't know if I have a technical fault or the temperature must be lowe...

Hello Friends. For the first time in our six year overland trip we have gone HIGH and COLD. Typically >4000m and < 12°c overnight. Problem: I'm having to wait until midday (5°c) before my engine will start. Question: My engine has Flame Start. The Flame Start does not behave as per manual (Pre Glow ...

I PM'd you Wombi

Hi, we found some German overlanders broken down beside road. L2000 EDC red light on. Grey smoke from exhaust. Suspect fuel pump. Does anyone have MAN information/manual for D0836LFL03 engine so that we may try to help them?

Thank you

David
