The engine oil is drawn from the oil pan and routed
to the camshaft oil ducts via the engine oil circuit
before passing from there to the VCT oil control
solenoid and to the locking pin. This releases the
locking pin and separates the positive engagement
between the camshaft pulley and the rotor. Whenthe control unit is being retarded, the chamber (b)
fills with engine oil. The rotor turns clockwise
because of the oil pressure in the chamber (b). The
engine oil returning from the chamber (a) flows via
the oil return duct (D) to the VCT oil control
solenoid and from there back into the oil pan.

When the VCT control unit is being advanced, the
chamber (a) fills with engine oil. The rotor turns
counter-clockwise because of the oil pressure in
the chamber (a). This completes the advance
adjustment. The engine oil returning from the
chamber (b) flows via the oil return duct (D) to the
VCT oil control solenoid and from there back into
the oil pan.

Engine Cooling — 2.5L Duratec (147kW/200PS) - VI5 – Overview
Auxiliary coolant pump
An electrically operated auxiliary coolant pump is
installed on vehicles with a trailer coupling and/or
additional heating. The auxiliary coolant pump
ensures that the coolant is circulated when the
coolant pump (which is driven by the engine) is not
running.
The additional heating uses the auxiliary coolant
pump to circulate hot coolant through the heat
exchanger and the engine.
On vehicles with a trailer coupling the auxiliary
coolant pump is switched on for 6 minutes by the
PCM (powertrain control module) if the coolant
temperature exceeds 106°C when the engine is
switched off. This prevents the coolant circuit from
overheating. This could happen particularly if the
engine is switched off after towing a heavy trailer
up a steep hill before there has been sufficient time
for cooling.
