General fitting instructions
Precautions against damage
To avoid damage to the vehicle when carrying out
repairs, always adhere to the following:
lAlways fit wing and seat covers before
commencing work. Avoid spilling brake fluid or
battery acid on paintwork; immediately wash off
with water if this occurs.
lDisconnect the battery earth lead before starting
work, see ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS.
lAlways use the recommended service tool or a
satisfactory equivalent where specified.
lProtect exposed bearing surfaces, sealing
surfaces and screw threads from damage.
Component removal
Whenever possible, clean components and
surrounding area before removal.
lBlank off openings exposed by component
removal.
lImmediately seal fuel, oil or hydraulic lines when
apertures are exposed; use plastic caps or
plugs to prevent loss of fluid and ingress of dirt.
lClose open ends of oilways exposed by
component removal with tapered hardwood
plugs or conspicuous plastic plugs.
lImmediately a component is removed, place it in
a suitable container; use a separate container
for each component and its associated parts.
lClean bench and provide marking materials,
labels, containers and locking wire before
dismantling a component.
Dismantling
Observe scrupulous cleanliness when dismantling
components, particularly when brake, fuel or
hydraulic system parts are being worked on. A
particle of dirt or a cloth fragment could cause a
serious malfunction if trapped in these systems.Use the following procedures:
lBlow out all tapped holes, crevices, oilways and
fluid passages with an air line. Ensure that any
O-rings used for sealing are correctly replaced
or renewed if disturbed during the process.
lUse marking ink to identify mating parts and
ensure correct reassembly. Do not use a centre
punch or scriber to mark parts, they could
initiate cracks or distortion in marked
components.
lWire together mating parts where necessary to
prevent accidental interchange (e.g. roller
bearing components).
lWire labels on to all parts which are to be
renewed, and to parts requiring further
inspection before being passed for reassembly;
place these parts in separate containers from
those containing parts for rebuild.
lDo not discard a part due for renewal until after
comparing it with a new part to ensure that its
correct replacement has been obtained.
Cleaning components
Always use the recommended cleaning agent or
equivalent. Ensure that adequate ventilation is
provided when volatile degreasing agents are being
used. Do not use degreasing equipment for
components containing items which could be
damaged by the use of this process.
When washing under bonnet, never direct water onto
ECM, as water ingress may occur resulting in
damage to electrical components inside.
General Inspection
All components should be inspected for wear or
damage before being reassembled.
lNever inspect a component for wear or
dimensional check unless it is absolutely clean;
a slight smear of grease can conceal an
incipient failure.
lWhen a component is to be checked
dimensionally against recommended values,
use the appropriate measuring equipment
(surface plates, micrometers, dial gauges etc.).
Ensure the measuring equipment is calibrated
and in good serviceable condition.
lReject a component if its dimensions are
outside the specified tolerances, or if it appears
to be damaged.
lA part may be refitted if its critical dimension is
exactly to its tolerance limit and it appears to be
in satisfactory condition.
lUse 'Plastigauge' 12 Type PG-1 for checking
bearing surface clearances.

Fluids
Fuel
Always use the following recommended fuels:
Petrol engines
Use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of
95 RON to ENN 228 specification.
In an emergency (and only if the correct fuel is
unavailable), lower octane rated fuel can be used for
very limited periods of moderate, low speed
motoring, provided engine 'knocking' does not occur.
Fuels of 90 RON is used in certain markets; 90 RON
fuel can be used regularly ONLY if the engine has
been tuned specifically to suit low octane fuel.
Certain markets use fuel containing a 23% Ethanol
additive.
K1.8 and KV6 engines are also available for use with
a low octane leaded fuel specification in some
markets.
Diesel engines
Use a good quality diesel fuel or automotive gas oil
(AGO) conforming to EN 590 specification.
It is important that the sulphur content of diesel fuel
does not exceed 0.3%.
Ensure the fuel filter element is changed at the
recommended intervals.

+ MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE, Fuel
Filter - Diesel.
Brake Fluid
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid. DO NOT use brake fluid
of a different specification.
PAS fluid
Use Texaco 9226 fluid.Anti-freeze solutions
The overall anti-freeze concentration should not fall,
by volume, below 50% to ensure that the anti-
corrosion properties of the coolant are maintained.
Anti-freeze concentrations greater than 60% are not
recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired.
Use Havoline Extended Life Coolant (XLC), or any
ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no
methanol) with only Organic Acid Technology (OAT)
corrosion inhibitors, to protect the cooling system.
CAUTION: No other anti-freeze should be used
with Havoline Extended Life Coolant.
The cooling system should be drained, flushed and
refilled with the correct amount of anti-freeze
solution at the intervals given on the Service
Maintenance Check Sheet.
After filling with anti-freeze solution, attach a warning
label to a prominent position on the vehicle stating
the type of anti-freeze contained in the cooling
system to ensure that the correct type is used for
topping-up.
The following recommended quantities of anti-freeze
will provide frost protection to -36 °C (-33 °F):
Engine – Td4
Engine – K1.8
Engine – KV6

MAINTENANCE
10-28 MAINTENANCE
Steering
Check
1.Check/tighten steering unit and steering rod
ball joint fixings.
2.Check condition of ball joints and dust covers.
3.Check steering rack bellows for any signs of
leakage.
Road Test
There are two purposes for conducting a road test.
Firstly, to ensure the work completed within the
dealership meets the standards required as laid
down by dealership processes. Secondly, for a
skilled technician to assess the general condition of
the vehicle and report any conditions that the
customer should be made aware of.
CAUTION: Two wheel dynamometer tests must
not be carried out. Four wheel dynamometer
tests must be restricted to 3 mph (5 kph).
Engine Start
1.Check for correct operation of starter switch.
Ensure the engine starts in a correct manner.
Leave the engine running.
Starter Inhibitor Switch – (Automatic only)
1.Select 'D' gear lever position.
2.Check that engine will not start.
3.Select 'R' gear lever position and repeat start
check.
4.Check that engine will start in 'P' and 'N'
positions.
Selector Cable – (Automatic only)
1.Check for correct setting of gear selector cable.
Engine Performance and Throttle Operation
1.Start engine and check that it starts easily.
2.Check that 'oil pressure' and 'no charge'
warning lamps extinguish.
3.Check that throttle pedal movement is free and
unrestricted.
4.Check that engine is responsive to throttle
movement.
Clutch and Gear Selection –
(Manual only, normal driving conditions)
1.Check that clutch engages smoothly without
judder, slipping or noise.
2.Check for abnormal transmission noise.
3.Check for smooth quiet gear changes and that
gear selected engages easily.
