Factory workshop manual for the Fendt Favorit 916, 920, 924 and 926 Vario tractors built from 1996 to 2002, organised by AGCO group codes the way the dealer shelf copy was. You get the Vario CVT covered properly in Group 1000 - ranges, swivel angles, control - plus the 6.87 litre 6-cylinder turbo diesel in Group 2000, hydraulics and EHR in 9400/9600, full wiring circuit diagrams in Group 9000, and Vario terminal diagnostics with fault codes in Group 9700. Front axle, cab, air conditioning, power lifts front and rear, and the brake air compressor all have their own groups. This is the manual for the transmission nobody else will touch, with the pressures and test values to back your work.

Fendt Favorit 916-926 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Hydraulic system does not lift, especially straight after startup
Work the troubleshooting sequence in the hydraulics groups: check oil level and temperature, inspect the suction line for air leaks, then pull and clean the suction filter. The manual lists system pressures so you can confirm the pump before condemning it.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Pump and Hydraulics (Groups 9400/9600)Overheating from a failed viscous fan or cracked V-belt
The engine group covers the cooling system service: viscous fan checks, belt condition and tension, and coolant level warnings. Catching a cracked belt at inspection is cheap; losing the fan drive in the field mid-baling is not.
Manual Section: Engine (Group 2000)Oil pressure warning with continuous beep and warning light
Before assuming the worst, the engine section takes you through oil level, the pressure sensor and its wiring. Cross-reference the sensor circuit in the electrics diagrams to separate a real lubrication problem from a lying sender in about twenty minutes.
Manual Section: Engine (Group 2000) with wiring in Electrics (Group 9000)Vario adjustment sluggish or not responding, terminal showing fault codes
Start with servo pressure checks in the transmission and hydraulics coverage, since low servo pressure disables adjustment. Then read the stored codes through the Vario terminal procedures and follow the diagnostic tables to the failed component instead of guessing.
Manual Section: Transmission (Group 1000) and Electronics (Group 9700)Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cover the Vario transmission in real repair depth, or just describe how it works?
Real depth. Group 1000 is the workshop coverage: hydrostatic ranges, swivel angle checks, control system, and the test values you need to diagnose before you commit to splitting anything. On a 900-series that transmission is the whole tractor, and most generic manuals dodge it. This one does not.
My hydraulics will not lift right after a cold start. Is that failure mode in here?
Yes, and it is a known 900-series complaint. The hydraulics troubleshooting in Groups 9400/9600 walks the exact chain: cold thick oil, low reservoir level, air pulled into the suction line, or a soiled suction filter. It also covers low servo pressure, which is what kills the adjustment functions. You check pressures against spec instead of swapping parts blind.
Can I read and understand the fault codes on the Vario terminal with this manual?
Yes. Group 9700 covers the terminal, the control units, and fault-code diagnostics. Fair warning: this generation uses dotted codes with A-prefixed component IDs, not the E-style codes forums keep quoting for other machines. The manual gives you the correct tables for the 916/920/924/926, which is exactly where internet guesswork gets people in trouble.
Are full wiring diagrams included, or just a sensor overview?
Full wiring circuit diagrams sit in Group 9000, covering lighting, sensors and switches, and hydraulic circuit diagrams come with the hydraulics groups. On a tractor with this much electronics over the mechanicals, you trace faults with the diagram or you do not trace them at all.
Which exact models and years does this fit?
The Favorit 900-series Vario: 916, 920, 924 and 926, roughly 1996 to 2002, with the 6-cylinder 6.87 litre turbocharged intercooled diesel and the Vario CVT running 0.02 to 50 km/h. It is the AGCO workshop manual for these four models specifically, not a general Fendt range book.
