DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION SYSTEM OPERATION
Ignition on
When the ignition is switched on, voltage is applied to
ECM pin 11. The ECM then switches on the main
relay by supplying an earth path at pin 4. This allows
battery voltage to pass to ECM pin 28, to the four
injectors and through the ignition coil to ECM pin 25.
In addition, the fuel pump relay is switched on by the
ECM supplying an earth path on pin 20. Voltage is
applied through the inertia switch to the fuel pump.
The pump runs for a short period to pressurise the
fuel rail. The fuel pressure regulator will open at its
maximum setting and excess fuel is spill returned to
the tank.
The ECM determines the amount of stepper motor
movement from the following signals:
·Engine coolant temperature data at pin 33.
·Inlet air temperature data at pin 16.
·Throttle potentiometer data at pin 8.
·Engine speed data at pins 31 and 32.
·Manifold absolute pressure data (via pipe from
manifold).
·Battery voltage at pin 28.
·Ignition signal at pin 11.
If one or more of the following inputs fail, the ECM will
substitute the back-up values shown to maintain
driveability.
Input Back-up value
Coolant temperature Idle Speed controlled until
engine is fully warm. 60°Cat
speeds above idle.
Inlet air temperature Derived from engine speed and
engine load.
Manifold absolute Derived from engine speed and
pressure throttle position.
Starter operation
Whilst the starter relay is energised, battery voltage is
applied to the starter motor solenoid. The solenoid
also energises and supplies battery voltage directly to
the starter motor.
Ignition is controlled by the ECM switching the low
tension circuit via pin 25.
The ECM provides an earth signal on pins 24, 23, 26
and 1 for the period the injectors are required to be
open, the injector solenoids are energised
(simultaneously on naturally aspirated models) and
fuel is sprayed into the manifold onto the back of the
inlet valves. The ECM carefully meters the amount of
fuel injected by adjusting the injector opening period
(pulse width). During cranking, when the engine
speed is below approx. 400 rev/min, the ECM
increases the injector pulse width to aid starting. The
amount of increase depends upon coolant
temperature. To prevent flooding, injector pulses are
intermittent i.e. 24 on then 8 pulses off.
Idling
After start enrichment is provided at all temperatures
immediately cranking ceases. The ECM controls the
enrichment by increasing injector pulse width. The
enrichment decays in relation to the rising coolant
temperature.
Provided the ECM is receiving a signal that the engine
speed is close to the idle speed set point, the ECM
will implement idle speed control.
The ECM activates a unipolar stepper motor acting
directly on the throttle lever. Idle speed response is
improved by the ignition system advancing or
retarding the timing when load is placed on, or
removed from the engine.
If, during engine idle, the load on the engine is
increased sufficiently to cause engine speed to fall,
the ECM will sense this via the crankshaft sensor and
instantly advance the ignition timing to increase idle
speed and then energise the stepper motor to open
the throttle disc thus maintaining the idle speed.
Finally the ignition timing is retarded to its nominal
value.
The ECM monitors battery voltage and, if voltage falls
sufficiently to cause fluctuations in injector pulse
widths, it increases the injector pulse widths to
compensate.
On return to idle, the ECM will implement a slightly
higher idle speed to prevent the engine stalling.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Driving
When the throttle pedal is depressed, the ECM
implements the cruise air/fuel ratio map. During
driving the ECM continually monitors inlet air
temperature and engine speed and load for it's air
flow calculations, together with coolant temperature
for any temperature corrections. Additional inputs are
throttle potentiometer for acceleration and throttle
pedal switch for cruise/idle fuel map selection and
over-run fuel cut-off.
Acceleration enrichment
When the throttle pedal is depressed, the ECM
receives a rising voltage from the throttle
potentiometer and detects a rise in manifold pressure
from the manifold absolute pressure sensor. The ECM
provides additional fuel by increasing the normal
injector pulse width and also provides a small number
of extra injector pulses on rapid throttle openings.
Over-run fuel cut-off
The ECM implements over-run fuel cut-off when the
following signals are received.
·Throttle disc closed.
·Engine speed is above 2000 rev/min - engine at
normal operating temperature.
Fuel is reinstated progressively when any of the
above signals cease.
Over-speed fuel cut-off
To prevent damage at high engine speeds the ECM
inhibits the earth path for the injectors, cutting off
injection. As engine speed falls, injection is reinstated.
Ignition switch off
When the ignition is switched off, the ECM will keep
the main relay energised for approx. 30 seconds while
it drives the stepper motor to the 35 step position for
the next engine start.

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.

engine gaskets, fast idle thermostat or the heater
unit?
YES - Investigate and rectify.
See Adjustment,

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.
