CLEAN PLENUM CHAMBER VENTILATION
PASSAGEWAY - V8i
Cleaning plenum chamber ventilation passageway
can be carried out without removing plenum chamber
from ram housing.
CAUTION: Care must be taken to prevent
debris from passageway passing beyond
throttle butterfly disc.
WARNING: Safety glasses must be worn
when performing this operation. Ensure
that debris is not blown into atmosphere
which could be harmful to other persons closeby.
1.Disconnect battery negative lead.
2.Release hose clamp and remove hose from
plenum chamber inlet.
3.Remove crankcase ventilation hose from side of
plenum chamber.
4.Insert a piece of lint free cloth down throttle
butterfly bore to prevent debris passing throttle
butterfly.
5.Place a cloth over tube protruding from side of
plenum from which ventilation hose was
removed to prevent debris from passageway
being blown into atmosphere.
6.Use a compressed air line with a slim bent
nozzle to enable passageway to be cleaned out
from within throttle butterfly bore.
7.Any remaining matter can be dislodged using
soft bent wire or pipe cleaner. Finally blow out
passageway again to remove remaining debris.
8.Remove small 'T' piece between crankcase
ventilation hoses and check it is free from
blockages, clean as necessary.
9.Refit 'T' piece and hoses, tighten hose clamps
securely.

CLEAN BATTERY CONNECTIONS
NOTE: Some 96 models are fitted with
battery backed-up sounder
See
ELECTRICAL, Repair, Battery
Remove battery terminals, clean and coat with
petroleum jelly.
A low maintenance battery is installed in vehicle.
Dependent upon climate conditions electrolyte levels
should be checked as follows:
Temperate climates every three years.
Hot climates every year.
RENEW CAMSHAFT DRIVE BELT - Tdi
Renew camshaft drive belt.See ENGINE, Repair,
Camshaft Drive Belt and Gears
The engine timing gears are driven by a flexible
rubber belt which must be renewed at intervals
determined by the severity of operating conditions.
In reasonable, temperate climate operation, renew the
belt every 120,000 km (72,000 miles) or every 6 years
whichever occurs earlier.
In adverse operating conditions such as work in dusty
atmospheres, high ambient temperatures and desert
and tropical zones, renew the belt every 60,000 km
(36,000 miles) or every 3 years whichever occurs
earlier.
CAUTION: If the drive belt is not renewed
at the correct interval, it could fail,
resulting in serious damage.
RENEW CAMSHAFT DRIVE BELT - Mpi
Renew every 160,000 km (96,000 miles) or every 6
years. In adverse conditions every 80,000 km (48,000
miles).
