ADJUSTMENT Evacuation and recharging
1.Add refrigerant oil to compressor if necessary.
2.Renew the receiver/drier.
CAUTION: When a major repair has been
carried out, a leak test should be carried
out using inert gas.
3.Connect a Refrigerant Station to the high and
low pressure servicing connections.
CAUTION: Whenever the refrigerant
system is opened, the receiver/drier must
be renewed immediately before evacuating
and recharging the system.
4.Operate the refrigerant evacuation system
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: If the vacuum reading is below
700mmHg after 15 minutes, suspect a leak
in the system. Partially recharge the
system and check for leaks using an electronic
leak tester. Check suction lines first, then run the
compressor for 5 minutes and then check the high
pressure lines.
CAUTION: The system must be evacuated
immediately before recharging
commences. Delay between evacuation
and recharging is not permitted.
5.Operate the refrigerant recharging system
according to the manufacturer's instructions:-
Refrigerant required to charge system:
Without rear air conditioning = 0.90kg (32 fl/oz)
With rear air conditioning = 1.15kg (40 fl/oz)
6.If the full charge has not been accepted by the
system, start the engine and run it at 1500
rev/min for a minimum of 2 minutes.
Switch on the air conditioning system, open the
car windows, set the temperature control to cold
and switch the blower to maximum speed.
7.Consult Refrigerant Station Manual for correct
procedure to complete the charge.
8.Carry out the air conditioning system
performance test.LEAK TEST SYSTEM
The following instructions refer to an electronic type
Refrigerant Leak Detector for use with R134a, which
are the safest and most sensitive.
CAUTION: When a major repair has been
carried out, a leak test should be carried
out using an inert gas (see below).
1.Place the vehicle in a well ventilated area but
free from draughts, as leakage from the system
could be dissipated without detection.
2.Follow the instructions issued by the
manufacturer of the particular leak detector
being used.
3.Commence searching for leaks by passing the
detector probe around all joints and components,
refrigerant gas is heavier than air.
4.Insert the probe into an air outlet of the
evaporator or into the evaporator drain tube.
Switch the air conditioning blower on and off at
intervals of ten seconds. Any leaking refrigerant
will be gathered in by the blower and detected.
5.Insert the probe between the magnetic clutch
and compressor to check the shaft seal for
leaks.
6.Check all service valve connections, valve plate,
head and base plate joints and back seal plate.
7.Check the condenser for leaks at the pipe
unions.
8.If any leaks are found, the system must be
discharged before rectification.
9.Rectify any leaks and recheck for leaks during
evacuation prior to charging.
Leak test using inert gas
Use Nitrogen or Helium gas.
1.Connect gas line to recharging station.
2.Pressurise system to 3 bar.
3.Carry out leak test as above.

ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM TEST
1.Place the vehicle in a ventilated, shaded area
free from excessive draught, with the doors and
windows open.
2.Check that the surface of the condenser is not
restricted with dirt, leaves, flies, etc. Do not
neglect to check the surface between the
condenser and the radiator. Clean as necessary.
3.Switch on the ignition and the air conditioner air
flow control. Check that the blower is operating
efficiently at low, medium and high speeds.
Switch off the blower and the ignition.
4.Check that the evaporator condensate drain
tubes are open and clear.
5.Check the tension of the compressor driving belt,
and adjust if necessary.
6.Inspect all connections for the presence of
refrigerant oil. If oil is evident, check for leaks,
and repair as necessary.
NOTE: The compressor oil is soluble in
Refrigerant R134a and is deposited when
the refrigerant evaporates from a leak.
7.Start the engine.
8.Set the temperature controls to cold and switch
the air conditioner blower control on and off
several times, checking that the magnetic clutch
on the compressor engages and releases each
time.9.With the temperature control at maximum
cooling and the blower control at high speed,
warm up the engine and fast idle at 1000
rev/min. Check the sight glass for bubbles or
foam. The sight glass should be generally clear
after five minutes running, occasional bubbles
being acceptable. Continuous bubbles may
appear in a serviceable system on a cool day, or
if there is insufficient air flow over the condenser
at a high ambient temperature.
10.Repeat at 1800 rev/min.
11.Gradually increase the engine speed to the high
range, and check the sight glass at intervals.
12.Check for frosting on the service valves.
13.Check the high pressure hoses and connections
by hand for varying temperature. Low
temperature indicates a restriction or blockage at
that point.
14.Switch off the air conditioning blower and stop
the engine.
15.If the air conditioning equipment is still not
satisfactory, carry out a pressure test as
previously described in this section.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS WIPER MOTOR CHECKING
NOTE: These instructions apply to
windscreen and rear window wiper motor.
If unsatisfactory operation of wiping equipment is
experienced, a systematic check to determine fault
should be carried out:
1.Check blades for signs of excessive friction. This
reduces wiping speed of motor and cause
increased current draw which may damage
armature. Check by substitution.
2.Check windscreen wiper motor light running
current and speed with motor coupling link
disconnected from wiper shaft transmission
linkage.
Check rear window glass wiper motor with wiper
connected and glass wet. Connect an ammeter in
series with motor supply. Measure current
consumption when motor is switched on. Check
operating speed by timing speed of rotation of motor
coupling link. The results should compare with figures
given in 'General Specification Data'.
NOTE: If vehicle wiring connections are
disconnected and an alternative supply
source is applied it is essential that
correct polarity is observed. Failure to observe
this will cause motor to rotate in reverse direction,
which may result in limit switch contacts being
damaged.
3.If motor does not run satisfactorily or takes
higher than normal current, a fault exists and
must be remedied.
4.If current consumption and speed of motor are
satisfactory. A check should be carried out for
proper functioning of transmission linkage and
wiper arm shafts.
NOTE: Service parts are not available for
windscreen and rear window wiper motors
with exception of windscreen wiper rotary
connecting link.
