COOLING SYSTEM
5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION A - EU 3 Models
B- Pre EU3 Models
GENERAL
The cooling system used on the Diesel engine is a pressure relief by-pass type system which allows coolant to
circulate around the engine block and heater circuit when the thermostat is closed. With coolant not passing
through the by-pass or the radiator promotes faster heater warm-up which in turn improves passenger comfort.
A coolant pump is mounted on a casting behind the PAS pump and is driven from the PAS pump at crankshaft
speed by the auxiliary drive belt. The pump mounting casting connects with passages in the cylinder block and
pumps coolant from the radiator through the cylinder block.
A viscous fan is attached to an idler pulley at the front of the engine. The fan is attached to a threaded spigot on
the pulley with a right hand threaded nut. The fan draws air through the radiator to assist in cooling when the
vehicle is stationary. The fan rotational speed is controlled relative to the running temperature of the engine by a
thermostatic valve regulated by a bi-metallic coil.
The cooling system uses a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water.
Thermostat Housing
A plastic thermostat housing is located behind the radiator. The housing has three connections which locate the
radiator bottom hose, top hose and coolant pump feed pipe. The housing contains a wax element thermostat and
a spring loaded by-pass flow valve.
Thermostat - Main valve
The thermostat is used to maintain the coolant at the optimum temperature for efficient combustion and to aid
engine warm-up. The thermostat is closed at temperatures below approximately 82°C (179°F). When the coolant
temperature reaches approximately 82°C the thermostat starts to open and is fully open at approximately 96°C
(204°F). In this condition the full flow of coolant is directed through the radiator.
The thermostat is exposed to 90% hot coolant from the engine on one side and 10% cold coolant returning from
the radiator bottom hose on the other side.
Hot coolant from the engine passes from the by-pass pipe through four sensing holes in the flow valve into a tube
surrounding 90% of the thermostat sensitive area. Cold coolant returning from the radiator, cooled by the ambient
air, conducts through 10% of the thermostat sensitive area.
In cold ambient temperatures, the engine temperature is raised approximately 10°C (50°F) to compensate for the
heat loss of 10% exposure to the cold coolant returning from the radiator bottom hose.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Coolant Pump
1.Drive lugs (hidden)
2.Housing
3.’O’rings4.Cover
5.Feed hose connection
6.Impeller
The coolant pump is attached on the left hand side of the engine, behind the PAS pump. A cast housing, bolted to
the cylinder block provides a common attachment point for both pumps. The housing has galleries which connect
the coolant pump to the cylinder block and the oil cooler housing. The coolant pump comprises a shaft, a housing
and a cover.
The shaft, which passes through the alloy housing, is supported at each end by bearings. Seals at each end of the
shaft protect the bearings from the coolant. The forward end of the shaft has two lugs which engage with the PAS
pump shaft. The opposite end of the shaft is fitted with an impeller which draws coolant from the feed pipe and
circulates it through galleries in the cylinder block. The shaft is driven by the auxiliary drive belt at the same
rotational speed as the crankshaft by a pulley attached to the PAS pump.
The pump is sealed in the cast housing with two’O’rings. An outer cover is positioned over the pump and secured
with six bolts and sealed to the pump with an’O’ring. The cover provides the attachment for the feed pipe
connecting hose.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Viscous Fan
1.Idler pulley drive attachment
2.Fan blades3.Bi-metallic coil
4.Body
The viscous fan provides a means of controlling the speed of the fan relative to the operating temperature of the
engine. The fan rotation draws air through the radiator, reducing engine coolant temperatures when the vehicle is
stationary or moving slowly.
The viscous fan is attached to an idler pulley at the front of the engine which is driven at crankshaft speed by the
auxiliary drive belt. The fan is secured to the pulley by a right hand threaded nut. The nut is positively attached to
the fan spindle which is supported on bearings in the fan body. The viscous drive comprises a circular drive plate
attached to the spindle and driven from the idler pulley. The drive plate and body have interlocking annular
grooves with a small clearance which provides the drive when silicone fluid enters the fluid chamber. A bi-metallic
coil is fitted externally on the forward face of the body. The coil is connected to and operates a valve in the body.
The valve operates on a valve plate with ports that connect the reservoir to the fluid chamber. The valve plate also
has return ports which, when the valve is closed, scoop fluid from the fluid chamber and push it into the reservoir
under centrifugal force.
Silicone fluid is retained in a reservoir at the front of the body. When the engine is off and the fan is stationary, the
silicone fluid level stabilises between the reservoir and the fluid chamber. This will result in the fan operating when
the engine is started, but the drive will be removed quickly after the fan starts rotating and the fan will’freewheel’.
