3*2 Cooling, heating and ventilation systems
1 General information and precautions
Genera/ Information The engine cooling/cabin heating system is ol pressurised type, comprising a coolant pump driven by the camshaft timing belt (petrol engine models) or auxiliary drlvebelt (diesel engine models), a crossllow radiator, a coolant expansion tank, an electric cooling fan, a thermostat, heater matrix, and all associated hoses and switches. The system functions as follows: Ihe coolant pump circulates cold water around the cylinder block and head passages, and through the Inlet manifold, heater matrix and throttle body to the thermostat housing. When the engine Is cold, the thermostat remains closed and prevents coolant from circulating through the radiator. When the coolant reaches a predetermined temperature, the thermostat opens, and the coolant passes through the top hose to the radiator. As the coolant circulates through the radiator, it is cooled by the in-rush of air when the car is in forward motion. The airllow is supplemented by the action of the electric cooling fan. when necessary, As the temperature of the coolant in the radiator drops, it flows to the bottom of the radiator by convection, and passes out through the bottom hose to the coolant pump - the cycle is then repeatod, When the engine is at normal operating temperature, the coolant expands, and some of It is displaced into the expansion tank. Coolant collects In the tank, and ts returned to Ihe radiator when the system cools. On petrol engine models, the expansion tank is integrated into the side of the radiator. On diesel engine models, and certain petrol engine models with air conditioning, the tank is a separate unit, mounted on the right hand side of the engine compartment. On turbo diesel engine models, the coolant is also passed through a supplementary engine oil cooler, to assist In controlling the engine lubricant temperature. Tho electric cooling fan mounted in front of the radiator is controlled by a thermostatic switch. At a predetermined coolant temperature, the swilch/sensor actuates the tan lo provide additional airflow through the radiator, The switch cuts the electrical supply to the Ion when the coolant temperature has dropped below a preset threshold (see Specifications).
Precautions

A


Warning: Do not attempt to remove the expansion tank pressure cap, or to disturb any part of the cooling system, whlio the engine is hot, as then is a high risk of scalding, tf the expansion tank pressure cap must be removed before the
engine and radiator have fulty cooled (even though this is not recommended?, the pressure in the cooling system must first be relieved. Cover the cap with a thick layer of cloth, to avoid scalding, and slowly unscrew the pressuro cap until a hissing sound Is heard. When the hissing stops, indicating that the pressure has reduced, slowly unscrew the pressure cap until it can be removed; If more hissing sounds are heard, wait until they have stopped before unscrewing the cap completely. At all times, keep your face well away from the pressure cap opening, and protect your hands.

A


Warning: Do not allow antifreeze to come into contact with your skin, or with the painted surfaces of the vehicle. Rinse off spills immediately, with plenty of water. Never leave antifreeze lying around in an open container, or In a puddle In the driveway or on the garage floor. Children and pets are attracted by its sweet smell, but antifreeze can be fatal tf ingested.

A


Warning: If the engine is hot, the electric cooling fan may start rotating even if the engine and ignition are switched off. Be careful to keep your hands, hair, and any loose clothing well clear when working In the engine compartment.
2 Cooling system hoses - f&> disconnection and renewal ^
1 The number, routing and pattern of hoses will vary according to model, but the same basic procedure applies. Before commencing work, make sure that the new hoses are to hand, along wilh new hose clips if needed, it is good practice to renew the hose clips at the same time as the hoses. 2 Drain the cooling system, as described in Chapter 1A or 18, saving the coolant if it is fit for re-use. Apply a little penetrating oil onto the hose clips if they are corroded. 3 Release the hose clips from the hose concerned. Three types of clip are used; worm-drive. spring and 'sardine-can'. The worm-drive clip is released by turning its screw anti-clockwise. The spring clip Is released by squeezing Its tags together with pliers, at the same time working the cbp away from the hose stub. The sardine-can clips are not re-usable, and are best cut off with snips or side cutters. 4 Unclip any wires, cables or other hoses which may be attached to the hose being removed. Make notes for reference when reassembling If necessary. 5 Release the hose from its stubs with a twisting motion. Be careful not to damage the stubs on deltcate components such as the radiator, or thermostat housings. If the hose Is stuck fast, the best course is often to cut it off using a sharp knife, but again be careful not to damage the stubs.
6 Before fitting the new hose, smear the stubs with washing-up liquid or a suitable rubber lubricant to aid fitting. Do not use oil or grease, which may attack the rubber. 7 Fit the hose clips over the ends of the hose, then fit the hose over its stubs. Work the hose Into position. When satisfied, locate and tighten the hose dips. 6 Refill the cooling system as described In Chapter 1A or 1B. Run the engine, and chock that there are no leaks. 9 Recheck the tightness of Ihe hose clips on any new hoses after a few hundred miles. 10 Top-up the coolant level if necessary.
3 Radiator -
removal,
inspection and refitting
Removal Note: If leakage is the reason for removing
the
radiator, bear In mind that minor leaks can often be cured using proprietary radiator sealing compound, with the radiator in situ. 1 Disconnect the battery negative terminal (refer to Disconnecting the battery In the Reference Section of this manual). On diesel engine models, unbolt the relay bracket from the side of the battery tray. 2 Drain the cooling system as described In Chapter 1A or 1B. 3 On 1242 cc (16-valve) petrol engine models, remove the air cleaner and Inlet ducts as desenbed In Chapter 4B, 4 Slacken the clips and disconnect Ihe (op and bottom coolant hoses from the radiator. In addition on diesel engine models, and petrol engine models with a remotely-sited expansion tank, disconnect the expansion tank coolant hose from the right hand side ol the radiator (see Illustrations), 5 Unscrew the fixings and lift the plastic trim panel from above the front bumper Unscrew the bolt(s) securing tho radiator to the upper body panel (see Illustration). Note that the radiator and cooling fan assembly share the same upper mounting bolt. 6 Unbolt the cooling fan(e) and shroud assembly from Ihe rear ot the radiator, as described in Section 5.

Withdraw the mounting brackets (where applicable), and recover the upper mounting rubbers. 8 Carefully tilt the radiator back towards the engine, then disengage the lower mountings studs from the crossmember and lift the radiator from the engine compartment (see illustration). Recover the lower mounting rubbers if they are loose. Inspect/on 9II the radiator has been removed due to suspected blockage, it may be flushed out as descnbed in Chapter lAor 10. Clean dirt and debris from the radiator fins, using an air line fn which case, wear eye protection) or a soft Brush. Be careful, as the fins are sharp, and
can
also be easily damaged. ID If necessary, a radiator specialist can perform a flow test on the radiator, to establish whether an internal blockage exists. 11 A leaking radiator must be referred to a specialist for permanent repair. Do not attempt to weld or solder a leaking radiator, as damage to the plastic components may result. Note: In
an emergency,
minor
leaks
from the radiator can often be cured by using a suitable radiator seat'ng compound, in accordance with its manu-
facturer's
instructions, with the radiator in situ. 12 If the radiator is to be sent for repair or is
to
be renewed, remove all hoses (and where
applicable, the cooling fan switch). 13 Inspect Ihe radiator mounting rubbers, and renew them if necessary. Refitting 14 Refitting is a reversal of removal, bearing in mind the following points: a) Ensure that the radiator lower lugs engage correctly with the lower mounting rubbers. b) On completion, refill the cooling system as described in Chapter 1A or IB.
Thermostat - Jk removal, testing and refitting #
General 1 The thermostat housing Is bolted to the left hand end of the cylinder head. The thermostat itself cannot be separated from the housing and can only be renewed as part of a complete assembly.
Removal 2 Drain the cooling system as described in Chapter 1A or 1B. 3 On diesel engine models, unbolt the wiring harness/fuel hose support bracket from the housing. On 1242 cc (16-valve) petrol engine
models, remove the air cleaner and inlet ducts as descnbed in Chapter 4B. 4 Slacken the clipfs) and detach the coolant hose(s) from the thermostai housing, Make a careful note of their orientation to aid refitting. 5 Where applicable, disconnect the wiring plug from the cooling fan switch and coolant temperature sensor, which are threaded into the thermostat cover. 6 Unscrew the securing bolts, and remove the thermostat housing from the cylinder head (see illustrations). If it sticks, tap it gently first on one side and then the other to free it - do not lever between the mating faces. Recover the remains of the old c,

1 General information and precautions
General information The
LAW
Weber-Maretil multi-point Injection (MPI) system is a self-contained engine management system, which controls both the fuel injoction and Ignition (see Illustrations). This Chapter deals with the fuel Injection system components only - refer to Chapter 5B for details of the ignition system components. The fuel injection system comprises a fuel tank, an electric fuel pump, a fuel filter, fuel supply end return lines, a throttle body, a fuel rail with four electronic Injectors, and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) together with its associated sensors, actuators and wiring. On pre-1998, 8-valve engines and all 16-valve engines, the fuel pump delivers a constant supply of fuel through a cartridge filter to the fuel rail, and the fuel pressure regulator (located on Ihe fuel rail) maintains a constant fuel pressure at the fuel Injectors and returns excess fuel to the tank via the return
line, This constant flow system also helps to reduce fuel temperature and prevents vaporisation. On later 8-valve engines, a returnless fuel system is used. With this arrangement, the fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator are an integral part of the fuel pump assembly located In the fuel tank. The regulator maintains a constant fuel pressure in the supply line lo the fuel rail and allows excess fuel to recirculate in the fuel tank, by means of a bypass channel, if the regulated fuel pressure is exceeded. As the fuel filler Is an integral part of the pump assembly, fuel filter renewal Is no longer necessary as part of the maintenance and servicing schedule. The fuel injectors are opened and closed by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which calculates the Injection timing and duration according to engine speed, throttle position and rate of opening, inlet air temperature, coolant temperature and exhaust gas oxygen content information, received from sensors mounted on the engine. The injectors are operated simultaneously (le not sequentially) and Inject half of the quantity of fuel required on each turn of the crankshaft. Inlet air Is drawn into the engine through
the air cleaner, which contains a renewable paper filter element. On 8-valve engines, the Inlet air temperature is regulated by a vacuum operated valve mounted in the air ducting, which blends air at ambient temperature with hot air, drawn Irom over the exhaust | manifold. Idle speed Is controlled by a stepper motor 1 located on the side of the throttle body. Cold storting enrichment is controlled by the ECU using the coolant temperature and Inlet air temperature parameters to Increase the Injector opening duration. The exhaust gas oxygen content it constantly monitored by the ECU via the Lambda/oxygen sensor, whioh Is mounted in the exhaust downpipe. The ECU then uses this Information to modify the Injection timing and duration to maintain the optimum air/fuel ratio. An exhaust catalyst is fitted to all models. The ECU also controls the operation of the activated charcoal filler evaporative loss system - refer to Chapter 4D for further details. It should be noted that fault diagnosis of the IAW Weber-Marelll system Is only possible with dedicated electronic test equipment.
