ploy
results irr o too
short free trovel of the clutch pedol
ond on
olmost immediote clutch disengogement. Access
to the releose
cylinder con be goined
os de-
scribed in the previous porogroph
on clutch
lubricotion. Hold the rod protruding from
the
relose cylinder ond force
from it corefully the
releose lever, ogoinst which it is restingi
the
lever con be relieved by disengoging the ten-
sion (pull-off
) springs.
ln service, the forcing-off
must be ot leost
2 mm. Adiust it to 4
to 5 mm by odiusting the
length of the rod. After hoving
loosened the nut
on the rod
of the releose cylinder, rotote
the
releose finger to obtoin the correct rod
length.
Then retighten the nut, thus locking the releose
f inger in its position
on the rod.
lf the ploy
is correctly od justed,
the f ree
trovel of the
clutch pedol
pod should ronge
from 40 to 50 mm. lt should not be ollowed to
drop below '!0
to 15 mm. lf the described od-
justing procedure foils to bring the required
result, it is necessory to odjust the clutch
mech-
onism in occordonce with
informotion con
toined in Chopter 3.2.
Bleeding the Glutch Hydroulic System
The movement of the clutch pedol
is trons-
mitted hydroulicolly to the clutch releose cylin-
der. The couses ond symptoms of penetrotion
of oir into the hydroulic
system (similor
to the
broke hydroulic system) ore described in detoil
in the section deoling with brokes. The pro-
cedure of bleeding the clutch is the some os

Checking Oil
Level ond Topping'up
Oil
Renrove the centre cover ol the
f loor boord in
the luggoge comportment behind the
reor seots.
Pull off the filler neck cop ond use
the dipstick
to check the oil level. With the diPstick inserted
into the neck up to its seoling ring, the oil level
should be obout 8 mm obove the upper line'
For this check, the cor
should be ploced
on
level ground.
After hoving topped up the oil,
woit obout 2 minutes (while
oil flows from the
georbox proper
into the finol drive ond its level
is stobilized), ond then recheck
its level-

UNDERBODY
Woshing ond Mointenonce
The visible ports
of the body qre
f inislred in
o hord synthetic boking vornish, the remoining
ports in synthetic vornish.
The underbody is sproy-cooted
with o plostic
compound -
for detoiled informotion, see Chop-
ter '14.9.
Follow the
usuol procedures
when
woshing, cleoning ond polishing
the cor, ond
observe the specific instructions for
the use of
woshing ond cleoning preporotions,
issued by
their monufocturers.
All lights with the exception
of heodlomps
hove cosings of plostic
moteriols qnd
they
should be cleoned onlywith woteror shompoos.
When hosing down the corr
cover the voltoge
regulotor of the olternotor ond
the ignition coil
to protect
them ogoinst sploshing with woter,
ond do not
sproy woter direct on
the door lock
ond the lid covering the fuel
tonk filler neck.
Woshing ond Core of Underbody
Mechonisms
The underbody mechonisms
ore protected
with o synthetic vornish which stonds
well the
usuol woshing procedures.
Protect oll rubberports
ogoinst direct contoct with speciol chemi-
col solvLnts or limit the durotion of this
contoct
to o minimum before
o complete woshing off of
the solvents with woter (by
hosing down, etc.)'
Keep the oil cooler, if fitted on
the cor, in
cleon'condition. Hose
it down when woshing
the cor, ond if dirt still
sticks to the cooling
surfoces, use some of the detergents.
Bodywork Lubricotion
Routine mointenonce includes the
lubricotion
of door hinges ond limiters, hinges
ond releose
mechonismi of the engine bonnet ond boot lid,
the releose mechonism of
the spore wheel,
ond
the leveroge of windscreen wipers. Lubricotion
of inner dolor mechonisms is
included in
speciol
mqintenonce. Lubricote oll occessible mechcnisms
with
high-quolity greoses which
do not
dry, do not
oxldize, ond protect
the mechonisms ogoinst
corrosion for o long time. Oil is
not suitoble due
to its short-time efJect. Any greose con
be used
to lubricqte the
door limiters ond
the front
seot
slide roils.
Lubricotion of SporeWheel Corrier
Bearings-
Remove the spore wheel,
cleon the hinges, ond
opply oil on iheit
upper sides. In oddition, rub
in greose of ony brond.
Lubricotion of Windscreen Wiper
Leveroge -
Remove the cover of the
ioint (o
plostic cup),
f ill it with greose, lubricote the
ioint, ond
rein-
stoll tlre cover.
The Lubricotion of
Inner Door Mechonisms
is possible only
ofter removing the
door ponel
ond the inner 'door
mechonism. Use
only re-
commended greose brcnds.

3.-Uncouple the
hoses from
the engine line
in the engine boy -
See Fi1.15.131A. Proceeding
from und6r the vehicle, pull
the hoses
behind
the cross beorer of
the georbox,
ond let the
liquid flow
from the hoses.
4. Remove the
droin plug of
the cylinder
block ond, if necessory, free

o length of wire,
etc.
N ot e : In oll, obout 85 0/0

ond the difference should
be reckoned with when
