DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Description
The engine management system (EMS) maintains
optimum engine performance over the entire
operating range. The correct amount of fuel is
metered into each cylinder inlet tract and the ignition
timing is adjusted at each spark plug.
The system is controlled by the ENGINE CONTROL
MODULE (ECM) which receives data from sensors
located on and around the engine. From this
information it provides the correct fuel requirements
and ignition timing at all engine loads and speeds.
The fuel injection system uses a hot wire Mass Air
Flow Sensor to calculate the amount of air flowing into
the engine.
The ignition system does not use a distributor. It is a
direct ignition system (DIS), using four double ended
coils. The circuit to each coil is completed by
switching inside the ECM.
The on board diagnostic system detects any faults
which may occur within the EMS. Fault diagnosis
includes failure of all EMS sensors and actuators,
emissions related items, fuel supply and exhaust
systems.
The system incorporates certain default strategies to
enable the vehicle to be driven in case of sensor
failure. This may mean that a fault is not detected by
the driver. The fault is indicated by illumination of the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) on North American
specification vehicles.
A further feature of the system is 'robust
immobilisation'.Crankshaft position sensor (CKP Sensor)
The crankshaft position sensor is the most important
sensor on the engine. It is located in the left hand side
of the flywheel housing and uses a different thickness
of spacer for manual and automatic gearboxes. The
signal it produces informs the ECM:
- the engine is turning
- how fast the engine is turning
- which stage the engine is at in the cycle.
As there is no default strategy, failure of the
crankshaft sensor will result in the engine failing to
start. The fault is indicated by illumination of the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) on North American
specification vehicles.
Camshaft position sensor (CMP Sensor)
The camshaft position sensor is located in the engine
front cover. It produces one pulse every two
revolutions. The signal is used in two areas, injector
timing corrections for fully sequential fuelling and
active knock control.
If the camshaft sensor fails, default operation is to
continue normal ignition timing. The fuel injectors will
be actuated sequentially, timing the injection with
respect to top dead centre. Injection will either be
correct or one revolution out of synchronisation. The
fault is not easily detected by the driver. The fault is
indicated by illumination of the malfunction indicator
light (MIL) on North American specification vehicles.
Mass air flow sensor (MAF Sensor)
The 'hot wire' type mass air flow sensor is mounted
rigidly to the air filter and connected by flexible hose to
the plenum chamber inlet. The sensing element of the
MAF Sensor is a hot wire anenometer consisting of
two wires, a sensing wire which is heated and a
compensating wire which is not heated. Air flows
across the wires cooling the heated one, changing its
resistance. The ECM measures this change in
resistance and calculates the amount of air flowing
into the engine.
As there is no default strategy, failure will result in the
engine starting, and dying when it reaches 550
rev/min, when the ECM detects no MAF Sensor
signal. The fault is indicated by illumination of the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) on North American
specification vehicles.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ENGINE COOLING
Description
The Tdi engine uses a pressurized cooling system
and cross flow radiator which is supplied from a
separate header tank. The radiator assembly is in
three sections. The largest section is for engine
coolant and the other two sections which are cast in
aluminium, are the engine oil cooler and the turbo
charger intercooler.
A belt driven viscous fan and centrifugal water pump
is located in the front of the cylinder block. Hot coolant
is supplied to the heater through hoses. Two small
diameter air purge hoses connect the top of the
radiator and cylinder head water gallery, to the header
tank.
Coolant circulation (engine cold)
1. Cross flow radiator
2. Header tank
3. Viscous fan
4. Heater hoses
5. By pass hose and engine thermostat
6. Air purge hoses
7. Coolant pumpCOOLANT CIRCULATION
Operation
When the engine is started from cold the thermostat
prevents any coolant circulation through the radiator
by closing off the top hose. During the engine warm
up period, the water pump, pumps coolant towards
the rear of the cylinder block around each of the
cylinders. Coolant as it is heated rises through ports in
the cylinder block and head gasket, into the cylinder
head.The coolant flows forwards to the thermostat,
by-pass port and radiator top hose connection.
Start from cold (thermostat closed)
While the thermostat is closed, coolant circulates
around the cylinder block and cylinder head via the
by-pass.
Engine warm (thermostat open)
When the engine reaches normal running temperature
the thermostat closes off the by-pass and opens the
flow to the top of the radiator.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION VISCOUS FAN
Description
The viscous drive unit for the engine cooling fan,
provides a means of controlling the speed of the fan
relative to the running temperature of the engine. The
viscous unit is a type of fluid coupling, which drives
the fan blades through the medium of a special
'silicone fluid' injected into the unit during
manufacture.
1. Drive in from water pump spindle
2. Drive out to fan blades
3. Bi-metalOperation
The viscous unit consists of two principal components:
An inner member 1 which is secured to water pump
spindle and is driven by the fan belt.
An outer member 2 which has the fan blades
attached, houses the working parts and is driven
through the medium of the viscous fluid.
The inner and outer members have interlocking
annular grooves machined in each, with a small
running clearance 3 to allow the silicone fluid to
circulate through the valve plate 4.
The unit also contains a valve 5 which is controlled by
an external bi-metal thermostat 6.
Starting engine from cold
During the time the engine is at rest the silicone fluid
drains down, half filling chambers A and B. Thus when
the engine is first started sufficient fluid is present in
chamber A to provide a positive drive between the
members, as is evident by the initial noise of the fan.
However within a very short period of time, after
starting the engine, the fan speed and noise will
decline indicating that the fluid is being centrifuged
into chamber B (as seen in RR3757M) causing the
drive to slip.

If the engine speed is increased the degree of slip will
also increase to limit the maximum fan speed.Hot conditions
When operating in high ambient temperatures or
when stationary in traffic, the bi-metel thermostat will
operate and open the valve port between chambers A
and B.
Opening the valve (as shown in RR3758M) allows the
fluid to circulate between the two members, causing
the unit to couple, thus increasing the fan speed and
cooling effect.

If problem is not diagnosed, check the coolant system
for engine oil contamination and engine lubrication
system for coolant contamination.
If only the coolant system is contaminated suspect a
cylinder head gasket.
If both systems are contaminated, suspect the
radiator.
If only the lubrication system is contaminated with
coolant, suspect leakage past cylinder liner seals or
cylinder head gasket.
