BODYWORK
- Volume 3 deals with the CX Diesel.
cd
E The above volumes are sold separately. They are presented bound in dark red Fibrex with,a

-
cl3 particular operation required by the workshop
L
a COMPOSITION
Every volume comprises
- the list of operations contained in the volume
- these operations filed in numerical sequence
- the list of all the tools mentioned in the operations and the manufacturing drawings for special
tools which are not sold but are intended to be manufactured by the workshop itself (‘(MR)) tools).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine OPERATIONS
The sequence of operations has been devised in order to obtain the best standard of work in the
shortest possible time.
The numbering of the operations is made up as follows
a) The code letter for the car (/ MA 3) for all CX vehicles except <f Fuel Injection a). /< MA-IE 1) for
CX vehicles with ,c Fuel Injection )I.
b ) A number made up of three figures denoting the unit or its component.
c ) A figure code designating the type of repair
- the figures 0 0 0 indicate the characteristics of the car
the figures 0 0 indicate the characteristics of the unit
- the figure 0 indicates checks and adjustments
the figures 1 4. 7 indicate removal or fitting
- the figures 2. 5. 8 indicate dismantling or reassembly and
the figures 3 6 9 indicate reconditioning
The thumb-indexing which corresponds to the list of operations enables the particular operation
to be found without difficulty. TOOLING
Special tooling is denoted in the text by a number followed by the letter ‘I
The part-numbers inferior to the 6000 series concern tools aiready in use and common to vehicles
previously introduced and to CX vehicles.
The 6000 series refers to tools specially designed for CX vehicles
Additional tools of local manufacture are indicated in the text by a number preceded by the index
MR manufacturing drawings for these tools appear at the end of the particular volume filed in
numerical order. TIGHTENING TORQUES :
Torques are expressed in the following units
either in metres Newton ( m.N ) the legal unit for measuring torque. with the corresponding
amount in metre-kilogrammes ( m.kg )
or in decanewtonmetres ( da Nm ) 9.8i Nm 1 m.kg ci.981 daNm
The numbers corresponding to the torques are (t rounded off 1)
Examples 2 m.N 0.2
m..kg 60 m.N 6
m.kg
IMPORTANT When a tightening torque figure is followed by the words 11 torque wrench 11 the
operution must without fail be carried out with a torque wrench.
IMPORTANT WlTHOUT FAIL after each operation or group of operations there is a chapter
headed (, TIGHTENING TORQUES ,,; the screws nuts or studs which are underlined
indicate
that they are of a special grade ,c SECURITY HARDWARE 1). When refitting it is ESSENTIAL
