DRAINING – FILLING
05Power steering
AT T E N T I ON !
For filling and addi tion, only oi l DACIA of class DEXTRON II D is t o be used.
Circuit capacity: 1 liter.
CIRCUIT FILLING
Fill the reservoir with oil.
In order to fill the circuit with oi l, easy rotate t he steeri ng wheel in bot h directions so that
steering rack is performing a complete stroke.
Check the oil level in the reservoir and addition if the case.
Start t he e ngine, easy rot ate the steeri ng wheel in both dire ctions so that steering rack is
performing a complete stroke. Restore the oil level in the reservoir till MAXI level.
LEVEL CHECKING
Each 10,000 km, check the oil level in the reservoir, that must be between the MINI-MAXI
marks.

OIL CONSUMPTION MEASURING
a) Oil filling to maximal level
This operation is to be performed when the engine is warm (one engine fan rotation) and after
a stabilization of 15 minutes, necessary to the oil complete draining into the lower crankshaft.
Check the oil at the oil-indicating rod.
Fill to the maximal level.
Seal the draining and filling taps (mark them with paint), for further checking if these have not
been dismounted
b) Customer driving time
Ask the customer to drive for about 2000 km or until the oil reaches the minimal level.
c) Refilling to the maximal l evel
This operation is to be performed when the engine is warm (one engine fan rotation) and after
a stabilization of 15 minutes.
Check the oil at the oil-indicating rod.
Fill to the maximal level.
Write down the oil quantity and the driven mileage after filling to the maximal level.

IGNITION AND INJECTION

PRESENTATION
The system is composed of : -electronic control unit (UCE injection);
-a double ignition coil;
-f our spark plugs;
- spark plugs cables.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Subject to the information received from different sensors, but mainly subject to engine RPM
and charge, the electronic control unit will establish the advance at ignition, will identify the cylinders
being at upper dead point and consequently , will control the corresponding coil to them.
This is producing the spark at the level of the two cylinders being at upper de ad point,
interrupting the mass connection of the corresponding coil.

Attention to the recommended value of idling RPM: PR041
C heck the connection and condition of the idling regulator connector.
R eplace the connector if necessary.
C heck the resistance of the idling regulator.
R eplace the idling regulator if necessary
C heck the in su la t ion and continuity of the connections between:
Pin 12 inj ection computer >pin B idling regulator

Pin 72 inj ection computer >pin D idling regulator
M end if necessary.
Idling regime
< minimal limit RECOMMENDAT IONS The idling RPM is too low
- Check the enriching adjustment operation.
- Clean the air supply circuit (valve body, idling regulator), which may be clogged.
- Check the engine oil level ( too high ? bubbling).
- Check the engine compressions.
- Check the valves clearances and the distribution setting.
- Check the ignition.
- Check the injectors.
If all checked eleme nts are correct, replace the idling regula tor
Idling regime
> maximal limit RECOMMEND AT IONS The idling RPM is too high
- Check the oil level
- Check the good operations of the atmospheric pressure sensor.
- Check possible leaks at piping connected to the inlet manifold.
- Check the electric valve s with pneumatic control.
- Check the manifold gaskets.
- Check the gaskets of the valve body.
- Check tightening at servo-brake.
- Check the presence of nozzles in the connection hose s of the oil vapors re-aspiration circuit.
- Check the valves clearance and the distribution setting.
If all checked eleme nts are correct, replace the idling regula tor AFTER Restart the conformity checking from the beginning.

checking by means of the CLI P tester.
C heck if there is petrol in the fuel tank (fuel indicator failure)
C heck if the vehic le is supplied with adequate fuel
C heck tha t supply cir cuit hoses are not broken (espe cially further to a dismounting)
C heck the condition of the fuel filter
C heck the condition of the fuel tank
C heck that fuel tank aeration is taking place.
C heck the connection and the condition of the idling regulator connector.
Re place the connector if necessary.
C heck the motor of the idling regulator
In order to unblock it, you may slightly hit it.
Disconnect the connection hose between the canister purging valve and the intake manifold.
Cl amp the connection hose in order to stop the air passing.
If there are no more disturbances, the cause is the canister purging valve.
C heck the spark plugs and ignition coil condition
C heck tha t these eleme nts are specific to that vehicle.
C heck that the exhaust route is not clogged and the catalyst is not clogged.
Check, by means of the oil dipstick, that oil level is not too high.
C heck for lack of sealing at servo-brake (noise).
C heck the intake manifold condition
C heck if the valve body is not clogged
C heck the engine compressions.
C heck the engine flywheel condition
C heck the distribution setting on.
