Drain the cooling circuit via the drain hose of the
radiator.
Take off the crankcase drain plug (I 1, Fig. II.
Remove the drive-shafts:
(Refer to Op @ MA.372. l/l)
Uncouple: hoses (6) and (71, Fig. IV (protecting the
alternator from water entry at “a”).
Disconnect the engine cooling fan thermal switch.
Remove the engine heat sink.
Extract, Fig. Ill:

Fig. Ill,
- the ground cable from the gearbox,
- the wiring harness from the reversing lamp switch.
Remove, Fig. Ill:

- pipe (4) between pressure regulator and brake accu-
mulator.
Vehicle with air conditioning option:
- the belt protective cover,
- the air conditioning compressor drive belt
Uncouple:
- the air intake casing position accelerator cable,
- the high pressure pump rubber suction pipe,
- the high pressure pump outlet pipe (5) and its attach-
ment, Fig. Ill.
Disconnect: Fig. V
- the throttle spindle switch (IO),
- knock sensor (14).
Uncouple: Fig. V
- pressure sensor pipe(91,
- supplementary air pipe (I I),
- cylinderhead cover pipe (I 21,
- breather pipe (8).
Remove suction pipe (I 3) situated between the flow-
meter and the turbocharger or between the flowme-
ter and the inlet manifold.

CHECKING THE TRANSISTORISED IGNITION MA
210.0/l 7 CHECKING THE DISTRIBUTOR ON TEST BENCH, Fig. I
To check the magnetic distributor on the bench, a transistorised module in good condition is essential. Use the
vehicle module and leads if the bench is not equipped. The ignition coil is not required.
CHECKING THE CENTRIFUGAL SPARK ADVANCE
Fit the distributor onto the bench:
Connect module (3) and distributor (I 1 to the harness (2)
Connect wiring harness plugs (2) to test bench:
To check the distributor: Fig. II and Ill.
Compare the distributor centrifugal spark advance curve with the theoretical curve:
- If the curve plotted does not correspond to the theoretical curve, modify the spring tension by bending the spring
hooking point support plate.
In order to do this, remove the cap and alter the spring tension by bending the attaching bracket, Fig. Ill and IV.

CHECKING THE VACUUM SPARK ADVANCE
Compare the distributor vacuum spark advance curve with the theoretical curve
NOTE: The vacuum spark advance device is not adjustable: If the curve measured is out of tolerance, change the
capsule. ADJUSTMENT ON THE VEHICLE
Distributor timing:
- Fit the distributor, positioning it approximately midway between the slotted holes.
- Start the engine.
- The vacuum capsule being disconnected, use a strobe lamp to set the distributor timing to:
Advance (degrees
before TDC)
Engine rpm cx20 cx22
IO0 lo0

I 800
- Reconnect the vacuum capsule.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION GENERAL OUTLINES
PRESENTATION:
The electrical system operations are composed of:
- A main wiring diagram.
- A circuit diagram.
- Lists of parts,
harnesses,
earth connections,
connectors between harnesses.
- A fuse table.
A lamp chart.
- Various circuit and wiring diagrams for special functions or optional equipment.
I_
UTILISATION:
The wiring diagram indicates the location of the components, harnesses, earth connections and connectors
on the vehicle.
The circuit diagram presents the electrical circuits in a functional way.
- The components symbols in the circuit diagra*m are those shown on the symbol key (see pages 2 and 31.
- Several symbols can be used for a component and the item can be shownC.exploded on different lines
according to the functions.
- Switches are shown at rest, with vehicle stationary, and the doors closed.
- The switches must be moved from right to left.
- The position of a relay coil, generally to the left of the contact switch, is not compulsorily so.
- In cases where the selector switch is complex, the contact movements are shown in the manner to be
considered the most comprehensible.
- The electronic control units are not shown in detail.
Parts list: the parts are in the alphabetical order, and numbered.
The number of the item remains the same on all the diagrams provided the functron has not changed. The
parts list enables any item to be located on the wiring diagram (by means of letters and figures), and on the
circuit diagram (with a vertical line No). The identification of the connector and the ref. letter of the harness
attached to the part are also included in the parts list.
List of harnesses: it gives the position of electrical harnesses on the wiring diagram and the location of each
lead of this harness on the circuit diagram (capital letter in the middle of the wire).
List of earth connections: it indicates the location of the earth connections and the wires or connectors and
the connecting harnesses (letter CC m )), followed by a number).
List of harness inter connections : it indicates,
- the reference of the harness concerned,
- the type of end fittings: I, metal contact or connecting pin,
U, clip or socket,
- the colour of the wire insulator and the marking or sleeve colour code,
- the junction connector: number of channels, colour and channel involved,
- the location of this connector on the wiring diagram,
- the location of each channel of the connector on the circuit diagram.
The harnesses are described in alphabetic order.

Between harnesses G (LIH front) & M (engine), there is a white 3 channel connector. On channel 1, the wire
is colour brown with a green marker and a flat pin on the side of LH harness. On the side of engine harness,
it is colour black with a green marker ending in a clip.
This connector is found on “d5” on the wiring diagram (referred as round 0. This circle can include other
connectors).
The No. 1 channel of the white 3 channel connector is to be found on line “91” of the circuit diagram
(reference /3B1/ 1. I
REF. MARKS: several ref. types are utilised.
Large capital figures identify the parts,
Large capital letters identify the harnesses.
Small letters denote the colours according to the code below:
B: White G: Grey Ic: Clear Mv: Gauve (purple) Or: Orange Rr: Pink
BI: Blue J: Yellow M: Brown N: Black R: Red V: Green
1.
- When used on their own, these letters indicate the colour either of a paint mark or of a colour stripe on the wire.
- When a horizontal bar is over them, the letters identify the colour of the wire insulator.
- Used in a box, a letter denotes the colour of the connector.
Small figures: indicate the number of channels or the channel No. of a connector. Marking IS on the insulator
(injection). The channels are numbered 1 to 10 but in fact, 10 is represented as 0.
Roman figures: are used to number the function diagrams and the columns on the junction box and to locate
the various outlet connections of the latter.

Example:
This connector is the first one of the 2nd column (II) of the junction box, situated to the right hand side.
It is a brown (Ml IO channel 0 connector i-1 The channel is the 8th way (8) marked on the junction box,
starting from the RH side. From the channel is a black wire (N), included in the instrument panel (B) to junction
box harness. The wire has an internal splice: the grey spliced wire (G) incorporates a black (N) marker on the
section entering the channel 1 from 4 way white connector m of lighting rheostat (795).
