Place the vehicle on a two-post lift (fit the safety belts).
Disconnect and remove the battery.
Drain the refrigerant circuit (if fitted) using the filling
station.
Remove:
–the engine undertray,
–the front wheels,
–the front right and left undertrays at the end of the
wheel arches,
–the wheel arch protectors,
–the front bumper,
–the side driveshafts (see section 29 of Workshop
Repair Manual 315 "Remove and refit side
driveshafts").
Open the degassing tank.
Drain the power assisted steering circuit:
–by the low pressure hoses on the cooler,
–by disconnecting the power assisted steering high
pressure pipe (lower pipe) from the steering rack
(tool Dir. 1282-01). Take care to prevent escape.Drain the cooling circuit through the lower radiator
hose.
Remove the air filter unit.

REFITTING - Special points
Pre-position the gearbox control cables.
Position the engine/gearbox assembly in its
compartment. Check the rear of the gearbox in relation
to the sub-frame.
Fitting suspended mountings: see section 19
"Suspended mountings".
Tighten all the bolts, nuts and studs to the
recommended torques.
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Press the brake pedal several times to bring the
pistons into contact with the brake pads.
Reprogram all the components deprogrammed by
disconnecting the battery.
Fill the refrigerant circuit using the filling station (see
section 62 "Air conditioning").
Refrigerant fluid R134a: 800 ± 20 g.
Carry out:
–filling and bleeding of the cooling circuit (see
section 19),
–filling and bleeding of the power assisted steering
circuit,–bleed the hydraulic clutch circuit.
Damage to the union leads to replacement of the
master cylinder, and thus removal/refitting of the
gearbox.IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU FOLLOW THE
BLEEDING METHOD GIVEN BELOW
VERY IMPORTANT:
When bleeding use a 19 mm ring spanner to
immobilise the rotating union (C) while tightening
and loosening the bleed screw (A) so as not to
damage the slave cylinder and the union.

119COOLING SYSTEM
Filling and bleeding
There is continuous circulation in the heater matrices.
FILLING
It is essential to open the two bleed screws at the
top of the radiator and the cylinder head coolant
pipe housing outlet.
Fill the circuit through the expansion bottle opening.
Close the bleed screws as soon as the liquid starts to
flow in a continuous stream.
Start the engine (2 500 rpm).
Adjust the level by overflow for a period of about
4 minutes.
Close the bottle.
BLEEDING
Allow the engine to run for about 20 minutes at
2 500 rpm, until the engine fans(s) operate (time
necessary for automatic degassing).
Check the liquid level is at the "Maximum" marker.
DO NOT OPEN THE BLEED SCREWS WHILST THE
ENGINE IS RUNNING.
REFIT THE EXPANSION BOTTLE CAP WHILE THE
ENGINE IS WARM.

REMOVAL
Put the vehicle on a 2 post lift.
Disconnect the battery.
Bleed the engine cooling circuit and engine oil; do not
refit the oil drain plug.
Remove:
–the front right wheel,
–the right-hand wheel arch cover.
Remove the four mounting bolts of the coolant pump
cover.
Lock the crankshaft using a screwdriver in the starter
crown.
Remove the 30 hub lock nut from the coolant pump.Remove the coolant pump sprocket using the
U 14 L FACOM hub extractor
REFITTING
Replace the coolant pump.
WARNING: the rest of the coolant will drop into the
engine housing.
Ensure that the mating surface on the pump is clean
and that the coolant escapes from the engine housing
(oil change).
Refitting is the reverse of removal.

Suspended mountings
The right-hand suspended mounting is fitted with a
rear travel limiter linkage.
When removing the cover, linkage or cast iron
mounting attached to the cage, respect the tightening
procedure below which has been adapted for removed
parts.
Fit in the following order:
–the cast iron linkage mounting (1) on the shock
absorber cage and tighten the bolts (A) to 3 daN.m,
–the linkage (2) on the mounting (1) without tightening
it,
–the rubber pad (3) on the cage and tighten the bolts
(C) by 5 to 6.5 daN.m,
–the suspended engine mounting cover (4) on the
rubber pad (3) and fix to the linkage (2). Tighten the
linkage (2) mounting bolt (B) on the mounting (1) to
10.5 daN.m.Offer up the engine and tighten the cover mounting
bolts (D) on the engine to 6.2 daN.m.
Tighten the cover mounting bolt (E) on the rubber pad
(3) to 6.2 daN.m and the linkage connecting bolts (F)
on the cover (4) to 10.5 daN.m.

COOLING SYSTEM
Cooling system
Bleed the cooling circuit, the air conditioning circuit
(see special manual for air conditioning)
Open the relay unit at the top left of the ring and
disconnect the electric wiring harness from the cooling
system at the radiator.
Remove the front bumper, the radiator grille and the
radiator grille rack.
Remove the mounting bolts on the radiator
convergents and fold them to remove it from the
bottom.
Disconnect the air conditioning air hoses at the
compressor for the compressor/condenser connection
and at the quick-release union for the bottle/bulkhead
connection.
When removing/refitting the cooling system, it is
recommended that you do not disconnect the
connections between the high pressure pipes and the
condenser/bottle unit as the seals are special and
delicate to replace.Set the radiator cross member on a table with shims
and release the mountings.
Remove the two mounting bolts from the cross
member on the tips of the side members.
Lift the vehicle while holding the cooling system to
prevent damage (operation for two people).
REFITTING
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Top up the coolant and the air conditioning circuit.
Replacement of the air conditioning condenser or the
cooling exchanger requires the removal of the cooling
system.
