DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Fuel pump
The electric fuel pump, located inside the fuel tank, is
a self-priming centrifugal 'wet' pump, the motor and
pump are filled with fuel.
The fuel pump supplies more fuel than the maximum
load requirement for the engine, so that pressure in
the fuel system can be maintained under all
conditions.
Fuel pressure regulator
The pressure regulator is a mechanical device
controlled by manifold depression and is mounted in
the fuel rail. The regulator ensures that fuel rail
pressure is maintained at a constant pressure
difference to that in the inlet manifold, as manifold
depression increases the regulated fuel pressure is
reduced in direct proportion.
When pressure exceeds the regulator setting excess
fuel is spill returned to the fuel tank swirl pot which
contains the fuel pick-up strainer.
Relay module
The relay module contains the main relay, fuel pump
relay, starter relay and oxygen sensor relay and is
mounted on the ECM mounting bracket.
The main relay is energised when the ignition is
switched on and supplies current to the ECM
The fuel pump relay is energised by the ECM for a
short period when the ignition is switched on, during
cranking and while the engine is running.
The starter relay is energised by the cranking signal
from the ignition switch.
This oxygen sensor relay is energised when the
ignition is switched on and supplies current to the
ECM
Intake air temperature sensor
The intake air temperature sensor is fitted in the side
of the inlet manifold and sends the ECM a signal
relating to air temperature. The ECM uses this signal
in its calculations on air flow.
Inertia switch
The fuel pump circuit incorporates an inertia switch
which in the event of sudden deceleration isolates the
power supply to the fuel pump. The inertia switch is
situated in the engine compartment on the bulkhead
and can, if tripped, be reset by depressing the central
plunger.
WARNING: Check the integrity of the fuel
system before the inertia switch is reset.
Diagnostic connector
A diagnostic connector is provided to enable
diagnosis to be carried out without disturbing the
system electrical connections and to allow the ECM's
ability to store certain faults to be utilised.
Oxygen sensor - Closed-loop emission control
The MEMS Mpi system operates a closed loop
emission system to ensure the most efficient level of
exhaust gas conversion.
An oxygen sensor fitted in the exhaust manifold
monitors the exhaust gases. It then supplies a small
voltage proportional to exhaust oxygen content to the
ECM As the air/fuel mixture weakens, the exhaust
oxygen content increases and so the voltage to the
ECM decreases. If the mixture becomes richer so the
oxygen content decreases and the voltage increases.
The ECM uses this signal voltage to determine the
air/fuel mixture being delivered to the engine, and
adjusts the injector duration to maintain the ratio
necessary for efficient gas conversion by the catalyst.
The oxygen sensor has an integral heating element to
ensure an efficient operating temperature is quickly
reached from cold. The electrical supply for the heater
element is controlled by the oxygen sensor relay.
Fuel temperature sensor
The fuel temperature sensor is inserted in the fuel rail
and measures fuel and fuel rail temperatures. During
engine cranking at high temperatures, the ECM
increases fuel supply, and opens the throttle disc via
the stepper motor to aid hot starting.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ENGINE COOLING
Description
The Tdi engine uses a pressurized cooling system
and cross flow radiator which is supplied from a
separate header tank. The radiator assembly is in
three sections. The largest section is for engine
coolant and the other two sections which are cast in
aluminium, are the engine oil cooler and the turbo
charger intercooler.
A belt driven viscous fan and centrifugal water pump
is located in the front of the cylinder block. Hot coolant
is supplied to the heater through hoses. Two small
diameter air purge hoses connect the top of the
radiator and cylinder head water gallery, to the header
tank.
Coolant circulation (engine cold)
1. Cross flow radiator
2. Header tank
3. Viscous fan
4. Heater hoses
5. By pass hose and engine thermostat
6. Air purge hoses
7. Coolant pumpCOOLANT CIRCULATION
Operation
When the engine is started from cold the thermostat
prevents any coolant circulation through the radiator
by closing off the top hose. During the engine warm
up period, the water pump, pumps coolant towards
the rear of the cylinder block around each of the
cylinders. Coolant as it is heated rises through ports in
the cylinder block and head gasket, into the cylinder
head.The coolant flows forwards to the thermostat,
by-pass port and radiator top hose connection.
Start from cold (thermostat closed)
While the thermostat is closed, coolant circulates
around the cylinder block and cylinder head via the
by-pass.
Engine warm (thermostat open)
When the engine reaches normal running temperature
the thermostat closes off the by-pass and opens the
flow to the top of the radiator.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS ENGINE OVERHEATING
Before conducting any cooling system diagnosis:
See
Description and operation, Engine Cooling
1.Is coolant level correct?
NO - Allow engine to cool, top up level to
expansion tank seam.
YES - Continue.
2.Is drive belt tension correct?
NO -
See ENGINE, Repair, Compressor
Drive Belt
YES - Continue.
3.Is coolant in radiator frozen?
YES - Slowly thaw and drain system.
See
Adjustment, Coolant
NO - Continue.
4.Is air flow through radiator restricted or blocked?
YES - Apply air pressure from engine side of
radiator to clear obstruction.
NO - Continue.
5.Are there any external leaks, from water pump,
engine gaskets, fast idle thermostat or the heater
unit?
YES - Investigate and rectify.
See Adjustment,
Coolant
NO - Continue.
6.Are fan blades fitted correct way round, concave
side towards engine?
NO - Rectify.
YES - Continue
7.Is viscous unit operating correctly?
See
Description and operation, Viscous Fan
NO - Renew.See Repair, Viscous
Coupling, Fan Blades, Pulley and Fan
Cowl
YES - Carry out a pressure test on radiator cap
and system. Check thermostat type,
operation and correct fitting.
See Repair,
Thermostat
If pressure test leads you to suspect coolant
leakage across gaskets, go to check 10,
otherwise: Continue.8.Are the air conditioning fans operating correctly?
See Electrical Trouble Shooting Manual.
NO - Rectify.
YES - Continue.
9.Is temperature sender and gauge giving
accurate readings?
NO - Sustitute parts and compare readings.
YES - Continue.
10.Carry out cylinder pressure test to determine if
pressure is leaking into cooling system causing
over pressurising and loss of coolant.
If problem is not diagnosed, check the coolant system
for engine oil contamination and engine lubrication
system for coolant contamination.
If only the coolant system is contaminated suspect a
cylinder head gasket.
If both systems are contaminated, suspect the
radiator.
If only the lubrication system is contaminated with
coolant, suspect leakage past cylinder liner seals or
cylinder head gasket.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ENGINE COOLING
Description
The V8i engine uses a pressurised cooling system
and cross flow radiator which is supplied from a
separate header tank. The coolant radiator also
incorporates a section at the left hand end for cooling
the transmission oil and a section at the other end for
cooling the engine oil.The belt driven viscous fan and centrifugal water
pump is located in the engine front cover with ports for
circulation of coolant to both banks of cylinders and
cylinder heads. Coolant returns to the top of the
radiator via ports in the inlet manifold where the
thermostat is mounted horizontally.
Coolant also circulates through the vehicle heating
system and is used to heat air entering the inlet
manifold plenum chamber.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION COOLANT CIRCULATION
Operation
When the engine is started from cold the thermostat
prevents any coolant circulation through the radiator
by closing off the top hose. During the engine warm
up period, the water pump, pumps coolant around the
cylinders to the rear of the cylinder block along the
main galleries in both cylinder banks. At the rear of
the cylinder block the coolant rises through a large
port in each cylinder head/block joint face, and then
flows forward to connect with ports at the front of the
inlet manifold. From the manifold the coolant is carried
by an external pipe to the heater unit and from the
heater through another external pipe to the pump
inlet.The coolant circulation through the cylinder block and
heads, does not change when normal running
temperature is reached and the thermostat opens. But
with the thermostat open, coolant flows through the
top hose to the radiator where it is cooled and drawn
back into the pump via the bottom hose.
