EMISSION CONTROL
1
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION REV: 09/95 EMISSION CONTROL
Three systems are used to control the vehicle
atmospheric emissions these are:
Engine crankcase fume emissions.
Fuel tank Evaporative emissions
Engine exhaust gas emissions.
Crankcase ventilation system - 3.9 MFi models
only
The crankcase ventilation system which is an integral
part of the air supply to the engine combustion
chambers, is often overlooked when diagnosing
problems associated with engine performance. A
blocked ventilation pipe or filter or excessive air leak
into the inlet system through a damaged pipe or
leaking gasket can effect the mixture, performance
and economy of the engine.
1. Three way connector
2. Air filter
3. Oil separatorThe purpose of the crankcase ventilation system is to
ensure that any noxious gas generated in the engine
crankcase is rendered harmless by burning in the
combustion chambers as follows:
Oil laden noxious gas in the engine crankcase is
drawn through an oil separator 3 located on the right
cylinder head rocker cover, where the oil is separated
and returned to the sump. The gas flows through a
restrictor in the three way connection 1 and into the
inlet plenum chamber where it is drawn into the
combustion chambers and burned. The volume of
fresh air which is drawn from the atmospheric side of
the throttle butterfly to mix with the gas, depends on
the position of the throttle and the engine speed.
The air filter 2 fitted to the left cylinder head rocker
cover, must be maintained in clean condition to
ensure sufficient air enters the crankcase under
varying throttle openings and manifold depression, to
prevent excessive crankcase pressure or depression
developing.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Air intake
The air cleaner is positioned to the right of the engine
and connected by hoses to a cold air intake duct and
the turbocharger inlet. A crankcase breather hose is
fitted between the air cleaner and the separator.
A single stage turbocharger, fitted between the
exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe, is connected by
hoses to the air cleaner and to an intercooler mounted
on the right of the radiator. The intercooler is
connected by a hose to the inlet manifold.
Fuel system
A 89 litre fuel tank is mounted at the rear of the
vehicle beneath the load space floor. The tank is
vented by a 2 way valve in the filler cap.
A mechanical lift pump, driven by the camshaft, is
mounted on the side of the engine.
A fuel filter, fitted with a replaceable element and
incorporating a water separator, is positioned on the
LH side of the bulkhead.
A Bosch Type injection pump, incorporating a cold
start advance unit and a high idle setting is mounted
on the LH side of the engine and is directly driven by
gears from the crankshaft. The pump meters and
distributes fuel to 4 pintle type injectors located in
pre-combustion chambers in the cylinder heads.
A return line passes excess fuel from the injection
pump and injectors back to the fuel tank.
Glow plugs
Four glow plugs are located in the cylinder head,
directly below each injector.Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
Exhaust gas recirculation is controlled by the EGR
control unit mounted in the passenger compartment
on the RH 'A' post behind the fascia and receives the
following inputs:
a. Engine temperature from coolant temperature
transmitter in No. 4 cylinder head.
b. Throttle position from the sensor on the injection
pump.
c. Engine speed from the tachometer.
d. EGR valve lift position.
When all correct signals are received, the EGR
solenoid allows vacuum to open the EGR valve and
recirculate a portion of the exhaust gas.

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.
