Air Conditioning System Precautions
General
The air conditioning system contains fluids and
components which could be potentially hazardous to
the service engineer or the environment if not
serviced and handled correctly. The following
guidelines are intended to alert the service engineer
to potential sources of danger and emphasise the
importance of ensuring the integrity of the Air
Conditioning operating conditions and components
fitted to the vehicle.
Where necessary, additional specific precautions are
detailed in the relevant sections of this Manual which
should be referred to prior to commencing repair
operations.
The refrigerant used in the air conditioning system is
HFC-134a (Hydrofluorocarbon) R134a.
WARNING: Servicing must only be carried out by
personnel familiar with both the vehicle system
and the charging and testing equipment. All
operations must be carried out in a well
ventilated area away from open flame and heat
sources.
WARNING: R134a is a hazardous liquid and when
handled incorrectly can cause serious injury.
Suitable protective clothing, consisting of face
protection, heat proof gloves, rubber boots and
rubber apron or waterproof overalls, must be
worn when carrying out operations on the air
conditioning system.
Remedial actions
If an accident involving R134a should occur, conduct
the following remedial actions:
lIf liquid R134a enters the eye, do not rub it.
Gently run large quantities of eye wash over
affected eye to raise the temperature. If an eye
wash is not available, cool, clean water may be
used to flush the eye. After rinsing, cover the
eye with a clean pad and seek immediate
medical attention.lIf liquid R134a is splashed onto the skin, run
large quantities of water over the affected area
to raise the temperature. Implement the same
action if the skin comes in contact with
discharging cylinders. Wrap the contaminated
body parts in blankets (or similar materials) and
seek immediate medical attention.
lIf the debilitating effects of inhalation of R134a
vapour is suspected, seek fresh air. If the
affected person is unconscious, move them
away from the contaminated area to fresh air
and apply artificial respiration and/or oxygen
and seek immediate medical attention.
WARNING: Due to its low evaporating
temperature, R134a must be handled with care.
R134a splashed on any part of the body will
cause immediate freezing of that area. Also,
refrigerant cylinders and replenishment trolleys
when discharging will freeze skin to them if
contact is made.
Service precautions
Observe the following precautions when handling
components used in the air conditioning system:
lAir conditioning units must not be lifted by their
hoses, pipes or capillary lines.
lHoses and lines must not be subjected to any
twist or stress; the efficiency of the system will
be impaired by kinks or restrictions. Ensure that
hoses are correctly positioned before tightening
couplings, and ensure that all clips and supports
are utilised.
lFlexible hoses should not be positioned close to
the exhaust manifold (less than 100mm) unless
protected by heat shielding.
lCompleted assemblies must be checked for
refrigeration lines touching metal panels. Any
direct contact of components and panels may
transmit noise and so must be eliminated.
lThe appropriate torque wrench must be used
when tightening refrigerant connections to the
stipulated value. An additional spanner must be
used to hold the union to prevent twisting of the
pipe when tightening connections.
lBefore connecting any hose or pipe, ensure that
refrigerant oil is applied to the seat of the new 'O'
rings, BUT NOT to the threads of the
connection.
lAll protective plugs must remain in place to seal
the component until immediately prior to
connection.
lEnsure components are at room temperature
before uncapping, to prevent condensation of
moisture from the air that enters it.

Oil pump
1Stiffener plate
2Ring dowel
3Outlet port
4Outer rotor
5Inner rotor6Spring dowel
7Oil pressure relief valve cap
8Oil pressure relief valve spring
9Oil pressure relief valve plunger
10Inlet port
The eccentric rotor oil pump is integrated with the stiffener plate and contains no serviceable parts except for the
pressure relief valve spring. The oil pump drive sprocket is attached to the front of the stiffener plate and is driven
through a chain and sprocket system.
A pressure relief valve is included at the outlet side of the oil pump to restrict oil pressure at high engine speeds by
recirculating oil through the relief valve back around the pump to the inlet. The relief valve and spring is a plunger type.
When oil pressure is great enough to lift the plunger, oil is allowed to escape past the plunger to relieve pressure and
prevent further rise.
Oil is delivered to the pump from the pick-up through a channel in the stiffener plate. The outlet side of the oil pump
delivers pressurised oil flow to the engine block main oil delivery gallery through a port in the stiffener plate.
Piston lubrication jets
Piston lubrication jets are fitted to the cylinder block to provide lubrication to the cylinder walls, and to the piston
underskirt for cooling the pistons and lubricating the gudgeon pins. The input port to each lubrication jet mates with a
port provided in each mounting position tapped at the underside of the cylinder block from the main oil delivery gallery.
When oil pressure is sufficient to supply flow through the jets, oil is squirted to the inside of the cylinder walls to provide
piston to wall lubrication and cooling and to the underside of the piston skirt at the bottom of the piston stroke (gallery
cooled piston). The squirt jets also provide splash feed lubrication supply to the small end bearings of the connecting
rods.
Each lubrication jet is fixed to a mounting position on the underside of the engine block by a single Torx screw.
Chain lubrication jet
A chain lubrication jet is located on the front face of the cylinder block, behind the front engine timing chain cover. The
inlet port to the lubrication jet mates with an oil supply port from the cylinder block main oil delivery gallery. The
lubrication jet is fixed to the front of the engine block by a single screw. Additional chain lubrication is provided by oil
supply through a small aperture tapped from the cylinder head oil delivery gallery.

1Fuel connector block assembly
2Outlet stub pipe
3Stub pipe – to fuel cooler
4Fuel temperature sensor
5Fuel pressure regulator
6Spill fuel return connection (EU3 models only)
A cast and machined alloy fuel connector block assembly is located at the rear RH side of the cylinder head, attached
by three flanged bolts. A metal gasket is used to seal the faces between the fuel connector block and the cylinder
head, which must be replaced every time the fuel connector block is removed.
CAUTION: The cylinder head incorporates drillings for the fuel injection system, any contamination which
enters these drillings could cause engine running problems or injector failure. It is therefore, essential that
absolute cleanliness is maintained when carrying out work on the cylinder head.
CAUTION: The valve heads, tips of the injectors and glow plugs protrude below the face of the cylinder head
and will be damaged if the cylinder head is stored face down.
Camshaft carrier
The cast aluminium alloy camshaft carrier is bolted to the cylinder head by thirteen screws. The camshaft carrier and
cylinder head assembly is attached to the cylinder block by twelve cylinder head retaining bolts which pass through
the camshaft carrier and the cylinder head to secure the assembly to the cylinder block.
The carrier is machined together with the cylinder head to form a matched pair for carrying the camshaft.
Non-return valve
A non-return valve is located at the front, bottom LH side of the cylinder head. The non-return valve prevents oil from
draining from the lash adjusters and is an integral component within the cylinder head and is non-serviceable.

ENGINE - TD5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 12-1-25
Inlet and exhaust valves
The inlet and exhaust valves are mounted directly above the engine block cylinders.
Each valve is a forged and ground solid one-piece head and stem which is hardened by heat treatment. The stems
are chrome-plated then ground for improved heat transfer, wear resistance and smooth operation. It is not possible
to recut the valve's face angle, but the valves can be lapped to their seats using grinding paste.
The valve springs are made from spring steel and are of the parallel single-coil type. The bottom end of the spring
rests on the flange of a spring seal which has a centre bore that locates on a recess ground into the lower valve stem.
The top end of the spring is held in place by a spring retainer which is held in position at the top end of the valve stem
by split taper collets. The taper collets have grooves on the internal bore that locate to grooves ground into the upper
stems of the valves.
The valve seats and valve guides are sintered and are interference fit into the cylinder head. The valve seats and
guides are non-serviceable.
Finger followers and Lash adjusters
1Valve stem
2Finger follower
3Lash adjuster plunger
4Oil supply hole
5Lash adjuster body
The valves are operated through finger followers and lash adjusters, actuated by the camshaft lobes. When the
camshaft lobe presses down on the top of a finger follower roller mechanism, the respective valve is forced down
opening the effected inlet or exhaust port.
The lash adjuster body contains a plunger and two chambers for oil feed and pressurised oil. Pressurised oil is
supplied to the lash adjusters via the oil galleries in the cylinder head and through a hole in the side of the lash adjuster
body. The oil passes into a feed chamber in the lash adjuster then through to a separate pressure chamber via a one
way ball valve. Oil flow from the pressure chamber is determined by the amount of clearance between the lash
adjuster outer body and the centre plunger, oil escapes up the side of the plunger every time the lash adjuster is
operated, the downward pressure on the plunger forcing a corresponding amount of oil in the lash adjuster body to
be displaced. When the downward pressure from the camshaft and finger follower is removed (i.e. after the trailing
flank of the camshaft lobe has passed), oil pressure forces the lash adjuster's plunger up again. This pressure is not
sufficient to affect the valve operation, but eliminates the clearance between the finger follower and top of the valve
stem.
