. Add coolant until the level in the header tank is steady at MAX. (Do not fit the header tank cap).
. Switch on the ignition. (The climate control system must be OFF).
. Start the engine and add coolant to the header tank if required to ensure that it does not empty.
. Run the engine until thetemperature gauge reads normal. (The enginespeed may be raised to reduce warm uptime).
. Switch off the ignition and wait for one minute.
Check that the coolant level in the header tank is between MAX and
10 mm above MAX. Add coolant as necessary.
. Fit the header tank cap.

4.2.4.4 System, Air Bleeding
After filling the system with coolant, any air present must be purged before effective cooling is possible. Provided the
correct fill procedure has been followed, purging of the system takes place automatically as follows:
The air entrained by the coolant, rises to the top of the radiator and to the highest point on each side of the engine (the
thermostat housings). While the thermostats are closed, the radiator is under reduced pressure due to the pump suc
- tion and air is bled through the jiggle-pins in each thermostat. Purged air is returnedvia the bleed system to the header
tank. When normal operating temperature is reached, the thermostats open and the system operates normally. ~~

striker and the-fuel cap stowage magnet.
The fuel bowl, retained around the filler neck by a clip, containing a drain tube filter located over the mating drain tube,
is rubber moulded onto a steel armature and fitted to the BIW decking panel by five M5 nuts.
The fuel lid latching assembly fitted to the metal armature of the fuel bowl by an M5 nut, includes the locking pin and
the operating actuator.
The actuator operates from the central locking system driven by the security and locking control module
(SLCM).
The fuel tank, mounted across thevehicle behind the passenger compartment rear bulkhead, is held in position by two
retaining straps, tightened by two M5 fixing arrangements.
The fuel tank of AJ16 engined vehicles contains one fuel pump, supplying fuel to the normally aspirated engine and
two fuel pumps, supplyingfuel to the supercharged engine. They are regenerative turbine pumps supplied by
Nippon- Denso. Nominal operating pressure is 3 bar (3.7 bar for supercharged engine) above the manifold depression and
pump delivery is 90 litredhour minimum at 13.2 volts, 3 bar outlet pressure. The pump(s) draw a nominal current of 7 amperes at 13 volts, 3 bar outlet pressure, ambient temperatures. Built in to the pump assembly is a over-pressure
relief valve which blows at 4.5 - 8.5 bar.
Fuel is drawn by the pumps from the fuel tank and is then supplied to the fuel rail via a
70 micron filter and the fuel
feed line connected in series by fuel filter.
The amount of fuel being injected into the engine
is controlled by the fuel injectors combined with the engine control module (ECM). - Any excessive fuel flowing through the system, is returned to the fuel tankvia the fuel regulator valve mounted on the
fuel rail, the fuel return line and the check valve also located inside the tank.
The two filters prevent contaminants from entering the fuel rail and possible damage to the fuel injectors, the engine,
the pump and the underfloor filter.
The fuel pumps are switched on and off by relays controlled by the engine control module
(ECM).
The second fuel pump for the supercharged engine operates only in the higher speed range, switching on at 4000rpm and off at 3200rpm.
The fuel lines are made up of an assembly, combining steel under floor pipes and flexible conductive anti-permeation
tubing. In orderto perform speedy remove and refit operations, the underfloor steel lines are linked through the engine
bay bulkhead to the flexible tubing, leading to the fuel rail and the fuel regulator by using positive sealing, quick-fit
type connectors. The same type connectors, are used to connect the fuel feed and return line to the fuel tank.
Connectors used inside the engine bay are of different sizes tocorrespond with the difference in pipe diameter, whereas
the connectors for the feed and return lines at the fuel tank are the same size.
Except for the return line connector at the fuel tank, two release tools, one for each size of connector are required to
release all remaining connectors.

Exhaust System (AJ16)
6.1.2 DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
m: THE NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS VERY HIGH. NEVER ATTEMPT
TO SERVICE ANY PART OF THE SYSTEM UNTIL IT HAS COOLED. EXHAUST GASES CONTAIN CARBON
MONOXIDE WHICH CAN BE HARMFUL TO HEALTH AND ARE POTENTIALLY LETHAL. LEAKS MUST BE
REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY.
NEVER OPERATE THE ENGINE
IN ENCLOSED AREAS.
External leaks in the exhaust system are often accompanied by noises and exhaust fumes, therefore a visual inspection
usually detects the location of the leak. When checking for exhaust leakage or noise, inspect the entire system for
burned
-out holes, loose or corroded clamps, muffler or exhaust inlet pipe.
Examine the under body for greyish
-white or black exhaust soot which indicates the exhaust leakage at that point.
The effect of a small leak can be magnified by holding a rag over the tailpipe outlet while listening to the leak.
If this is carried out, ensure that gases are not inhaled
-see WARNING.
When testing for a rattle or vibration condition it is helpful to use a rubber mallet. Tap on the exhaust components to
simulate the bouncing action of the exhaust while watching for exhaust-to-body /chassis contact.
