I. BLEEDING THE BRAKES ON SALOON AND ESTATE VEHICLES ( 9/1976- )
A. FRONT BRAKE BLEEDING
NOTE : To avoid emulsifying the fluid
and the
consequent formation of air-pocket in the system,
the circuit should not be under pressure when this
operation is carried out.
1. Release pressure in circuits :
a) Raise front of vehicle (wheels free 1.
b) Slacken pressure regulator bleed screw ( 1 ).
Remove front wheels.
c ) Place CI transparent tube over each bleed
screw (2 ) with its oiher end in CI clean
container.

free of air bubbles.
Then tighten bleed screws (2 ).
c) Release broke pedal and remove bleed tubes.
Check the bleed screws for .leaks by depres-
sing brake pedal to fullest extent.

These voltage regulators determine the intensity of the current in the alternator inductor in order to maintain a
constant regulated voltage at the battery terminals.

Connect up as per diagram below, using a voltmeter V, an ammeter A and a rheostat, or better still, using a
combined
o voltmeter/ammeter/ rheostat )).
Start engine, and let it idle.
Switch off the ignition, and immediately switch it back on in
order to demagnetize the voltage regulator.
Accelerate the engine so as to reach the adjustment speed for the alternator. Actuate the rheostat, smoothly
without turning it back, in order to increase the current supplied by the alternator, and read the corresponding
voltage.
Take several measurements of regulated tension, and check that the values obtained are between 13 and 14.2 volts,
taking into account the correction value due to the temperature. If the readings are not correct, replace voltage
regulator.
