DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION IN-LINE AIR FILTER - PRE EU´ u MODELS
1.To modulator vent port
2.Filter element3.To atmosphere
The in-line air filter is placed in the ventilation line from the EGR modulator. The modulator needs to be able to
vent to atmosphere in order to release the vacuum supplied to the EGR valve. The filter prevents contamination
entering the modulator via the vent port which could cause failure. The filter should be periodically changed in
accordance with the recommended service intervals. The filter is attached to the RH inner front wing, and is held
in position by a clamping bracket. The filter must be mounted vertically.
NOTE: EU3 models are not fitted with an in-line air filter. The ventilation line connects directly to
the air cleaner housing, where it vents to atmosphere.

Fuel Purging Procedure
1.If the vehicle runs out of fuel, or the fuel level is
so low that the fuel system draws air into the fuel
rail, the fuel rail will need to be purged before the
engine will start. This can be achieved by
following a set procedure. The process does not
require the use of any specialist equipment and
can be performed by the driver of the vehicle.
The process is as follows:
2.Switch off ignition and wait 15 seconds.
3.Turn ignition key to position 2 and wait 3
minutes, (this ensures that the fuel system
purges all the air from the fuel rail within the
cylinder head).
4.Depress the throttle pedal to more than 90% of
its total travel, (to the throttle stop).
5.Crank the engine keeping the throttle pedal
depressed.
NOTE: This operation is controlled by the
ECM and it is important that the purging
operation is not carried out on a vehicle
that has not run out of fuel. If it is carried out
unnecessarily it can lead to the engine flooding
and failing to start.
This operation will be cancelled:
6.As soon as engine speed exceeds 600 rev/min.
7.The driver allows the throttle pedal to close to a
position less than 90% of its travel.
8.The ignition key is released from the start
position.
NOTE: The engine must not be cranked for
more than 30 seconds in any one period.
9.Repeat the above procedure if the engine fails to
start.
