FAULT DIAGNOSIS Steering column alignment
1.Place vehicle on level ground. Measure the
angle of lower steering shaft using a Pernumeter
placed on the shaft between the universal joints.
The angle should measure a minimum of 12Ê.
2.If necessary, realign the shaft. Release the five
fixings securing the steering column. Position
column as required. Tighten the fixings evenly,
27 Nm.
3.Loosen the three screws securing lower steering
column shroud to upper shroud ensure lower
shroud is clipped to upper shroud. Reposition
shroud, tighten screws.
4.Recheck steering column angle.
Steering box adjustment
1.Check steering box adjustment.
See
Adjustment, Power Steering Box
Steering damper check
1.Check condition of steering damper
See
Steering Damper
VISUAL CHECK AND BASIC ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: It is important that the following
instructions are carried out in the
sequence shown and the results recorded.
1.Road springs - check that road springs are
correctly seated and are to correct specification
for vehicle. For spring specification.
See
GENERAL SPECIFICATION DATA,
Information, Road Springs Data
2.Ride height - measure trim height from wheel
centre to wheelarch eyebrow. Record results on
data sheet.
3.Check/top up power steering fluid
See Repair,
Power Steering Fluid Reservoir
4.Check tension and condition of drive belt.See
ENGINE, Repair, Drive Belt
5.Track rod/drag link - check condition of track rod,
drag link and ball joints.
See Repair, Drag Link
and Drag Link Ends
If either component is damaged, check operation
of steering damper and steering box for
smoothness. Replace all damaged or worn
components that impair the operation of the
steering system.
6.Suspension bushes - examine all steering and
suspension bushes for signs of wear and
deterioration. Also check all fixings for torque
relaxation. Tighten to correct torque value.
See
FRONT SUSPENSION, Specifications, torque,
Torque Values
7.Oil leaks - check front and rear axle hubs for
leak and repair as necessary.
8.Brake system - check brake system for leaks,
pipe condition, pad wear/contamination, disc
wear/condition and ABS sensors for correct
fitting.
9.Hub end float - check movement in the hubs by
rocking the wheels.
10.Check front wheel alignment. Vehicles displaying
a tendency to veer more than considered
allowable, it is permissible to set the front track
to parallel.
11.Having completed all the above checks and
adjustments, road test vehicle.

ADJUSTMENT SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
Care must be taken when handling refrigeration
system components. Units must not be lifted by their
hoses, pipes or capillary lines. Hoses and lines must
not be subjected to any twist or stress. Ensure that
hoses are positioned in their correct run before fully
tightening the couplings, and ensure that all clips and
supports are used. Torque wrenches of the correct
type must be used when tightening refrigerant
connections to the stated value. An additional wrench
must be used to hold the union to prevent twisting of
the pipe.
Before connecting any hose or pipe ensure that
refrigerant oil is applied to the seat of the new '0' ring
but not to the threads.
Check the oil trap for the amount of oil lost.
All protective plugs on components must be left in
place until immediately prior to connection.
The receiver/drier contains desiccant which absorbs
moisture. It must be positively sealed at all times.
CAUTION: Whenever the refrigerant
system is opened, the receiver/drier must
be renewed immediately before evacuating
and recharging the system.
Use alcohol and a clean cloth to clean dirty
connections.
Ensure that all new parts fitted are marked for use
withR134a.
Refrigerant oil
Use the approved refrigerant lubricating oil:
Nippon Denso ND-OIL 8
Unipart R134a ND-OIL8
CAUTION: Do not use any other type of
refrigerant oil.
Refrigerant oil easily absorbs water and must not be
stored for long periods. Do not pour unused oil back
into the container.
When renewing system components, add the
following quantities of refrigerant oil:
Condenser 40ml..........................................................
Evaporator 80ml..........................................................
Pipe or hose 20ml........................................................
Receiver/drier 20ml......................................................
Total of refrigerant oil in system = 180ml = 6.3 Fl
ozA new compressor is sealed and pressurised with
Nitrogen gas, slowly release the sealing cap, gas
pressure should be heard to release as the seal is
broken.
NOTE: A new compressor should always
have its sealing caps in place and must
not be removed until immediately prior to
fitting
Fitting a new compressor
A new compressor is supplied with an oil fill (X) of:
180ml
A calculated quantity of oil must be drained from a
new compressor before fitting.
To calculate the quantity of oil to be drained:
1.Remove sealing plugs from the OLD compressor
2.Invert compressor and gravity drain oil into
measuring cylinder. Rotating the compressor
clutch plate will assist complete draining.
3.Note the quantity of oil drained (Y).
4.Calculate the quantity (Q) of oil to be drained
from the NEW compressor using the following
formula:
X - (Y + 20ml) = Q
Rapid refrigerant discharge
When the air conditioning system is involved in
accident damage and the circuit is punctured, the
refrigerant is discharged rapidly. The rapid discharged
of refrigerant will also result in the loss of most of the
oil from the system. The compressor must be
removed and all the remaining oil in the compressor
drained and refilled as follows:
1.Gravity drain all the oil, assist by rotating the
clutch plate (not the pulley).
2.Refill the compressor with the following amount
of new refrigerant oil:
130ml
3.Plug the inlet and outlet ports.
