Low Side Pressure Gauge.
High Side Pressure Gauge.

1.
The 'ma
nifold gauge set' is a most important tool for tracing faults and
system efficiency assessment. The relationship between HIGH and LOW
pressures and their correlation to AMBIENT and EVAPORATOR
temperatures must be compared to determine system status (see
Pressure / Temperature graphs).
Because of the heavy reliance upon this piece of equipment for service
diagnosis, ensure that the gauges are calibrated regularly and the
equipment is treated with care.

1. The manifold is designed to control refrigerant flow. When connected into
the system, pressure is registered on both gauges at all times. During
system tests both the high and low side hand valves should be closed
(rotate clockwise to seat the valves). The hand valves isolate the low and
the high sides from the center (service) hose.
1. This compound gauge, is designed to register positive and negative
pressure and may be typically calibrate d - Full Scale Deflection, 0 to 10
bar (0 to 150 lbf / in2) pressure in a clockwise direction; 0 to 1000 mbar
(0 to 30 in Hg) FSD negative pressu re in a counter clockwise direction.
1. This pressure gauge may be typically calibrated from 0 to 30 bar (0 to
500 lbf / in2) FSD in a clockwise direction. Depending on the
manufacturer, this gauge may also be of the compound type.

Wipers and Washers - Wipers and Washers
Description and Operation
Windshield Wiper
The single wiper system is driven via a sh ort linkage, by an electric motor installed in (external on later models) a moulded
plastic weatherproof housing o ff the plenum wet area. The motor and housing are secured to the BIW bulkhead by three
bolts at the top and three screws (two on later models) with locking clips at the bottom. The complete assembly is handed
for left or right hand drive installation.
The windshield wiper is operated via the RH control column stalk switch. Operating modes are normal, high speed, flick wipe
and six settings of intermittent operation with delays ranging from 2 to 20 seconds.
Windshield Washer

The windshield washer is of wiper arm mounted running jet configuration. The je t assembly comprises two conventional
nozzles plus four nozzles of silicone rubbe r 'duckbill' design. If the system is initially operated at low ambient temperatures ,
the 'duckbill' nozzles permit an y frozen residual washer fluid to be ejected un der pump pressure. The washer jet feed tube
supplied assembled to the wiper ar m, fits at its lower end onto a central connector on the pl enum cover. Washer fluid is
conveyed by a rubber tube, from the washer pump to the jet assembly via a manifold on the underside of the plenum cover.
The windshield washer pump is installed on the rear face of the washer fluid reservoir. The 6.3 liter washer reservoir is
installed on the RH side of th e vehicle in a cavity formed by the front bu mper, the front wheel arch liner and the brake
