CONCENTRATION LOWER
TEMPERATURE
LIMIT
V8i Engine One part anti-freeze
Diesel Engine One part water 50%
Complete protection-33°F
Vehicle may be driven away immediately from cold - 36°C
Safe limit protection-41°C
Coolant in mushy state. Engine may be started and driven away after warm-up
period-42°F
Lower protection-47°C
Prevents frost damage to cylinder head, block and radiator. Thaw out before
starting engine-53°F
CAUTION: Anti-freeze content must never be allowed to fall below 25% otherwise damage to the
engine is liable to occur. Also, anti-freeze content should not exceed 60% as this will greatly
reduce the cooling effect of the coolant.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Catalyst vehicles
Vehicles equipped with catalytic converter are designed to use ONLY unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel must be used
for the emission control system to operate properly. Its use will also reduce spark plug fouling, exhaust system
corrosion and engine oil deterioration.
Using fuel that contains lead will result in damage to the emission control system and could result in loss of
warranty coverage. The effectiveness of the catalysts in the catalytic converters will be seriously impaired if leaded
fuel is used. The vehicle is equipped with an electronic fuel injection system, which includes two oxygen sensors.
Leaded fuel will damage the sensors, and will deteriorate the emission control system.
Regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded fuel be labelledUNLEADED.Only these pumps have nozzles
which fit the filler neck of the vehicle fuel tank.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Air intake
The air cleaner is positioned to the right of the engine
and connected by hoses to a cold air intake duct and
the turbocharger inlet. A crankcase breather hose is
fitted between the air cleaner and the separator.
A single stage turbocharger, fitted between the
exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe, is connected by
hoses to the air cleaner and to an intercooler mounted
on the right of the radiator. The intercooler is
connected by a hose to the inlet manifold.
Fuel system
A 89 litre fuel tank is mounted at the rear of the
vehicle beneath the load space floor. The tank is
vented by a 2 way valve in the filler cap.
A mechanical lift pump, driven by the camshaft, is
mounted on the side of the engine.
A fuel filter, fitted with a replaceable element and
incorporating a water separator, is positioned on the
LH side of the bulkhead.
A Bosch Type injection pump, incorporating a cold
start advance unit and a high idle setting is mounted
on the LH side of the engine and is directly driven by
gears from the crankshaft. The pump meters and
distributes fuel to 4 pintle type injectors located in
pre-combustion chambers in the cylinder heads.
A return line passes excess fuel from the injection
pump and injectors back to the fuel tank.
Glow plugs
Four glow plugs are located in the cylinder head,
directly below each injector.Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
Exhaust gas recirculation is controlled by the EGR
control unit mounted in the passenger compartment
on the RH 'A' post behind the fascia and receives the
following inputs:
a. Engine temperature from coolant temperature
transmitter in No. 4 cylinder head.
b. Throttle position from the sensor on the injection
pump.
c. Engine speed from the tachometer.
d. EGR valve lift position.
When all correct signals are received, the EGR
solenoid allows vacuum to open the EGR valve and
recirculate a portion of the exhaust gas.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS ENGINE OVERHEATING
Before conducting any cooling system diagnosis:
See
Description and operation, Engine Cooling
1.Is coolant level correct?
NO - Allow engine to cool, top up level to
expansion tank seam.
YES - Continue.
2.Is drive belt tension correct?
NO -
See ENGINE, Repair, Compressor
Drive Belt
YES - Continue.
3.Is coolant in radiator frozen?
YES - Slowly thaw and drain system.
See
Adjustment, Coolant
NO - Continue.
4.Is air flow through radiator restricted or blocked?
YES - Apply air pressure from engine side of
radiator to clear obstruction.
NO - Continue.
5.Are there any external leaks, from water pump,
engine gaskets, fast idle thermostat or the heater
unit?
YES - Investigate and rectify.
See Adjustment,
Coolant
NO - Continue.
6.Are fan blades fitted correct way round, concave
side towards engine?
NO - Rectify.
YES - Continue
7.Is viscous unit operating correctly?
See
Description and operation, Viscous Fan
NO - Renew.See Repair, Viscous
Coupling, Fan Blades, Pulley and Fan
Cowl
YES - Carry out a pressure test on radiator cap
and system. Check thermostat type,
operation and correct fitting.
See Repair,
Thermostat
If pressure test leads you to suspect coolant
leakage across gaskets, go to check 10,
otherwise: Continue.8.Are the air conditioning fans operating correctly?
See Electrical Trouble Shooting Manual.
NO - Rectify.
YES - Continue.
9.Is temperature sender and gauge giving
accurate readings?
NO - Sustitute parts and compare readings.
YES - Continue.
10.Carry out cylinder pressure test to determine if
pressure is leaking into cooling system causing
over pressurising and loss of coolant.
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.

Draining
WARNING: Do not remove any caps or
plugs when the engine is hot. The cooling
system is pressurised and personal
scalding could result.
1.Remove expansion tank filler cap.
2.Disconnect bottom hose from radiator and allow
coolant to drain into a container. Ensure
container is clean if reusing coolant.
NOTE: When expansion tank has emptied,
remove thermostat housing plug to assist
drainage. Similarly when coolant level is
below top of radiator, remove radiator plug.
3.Reconnect hose after draining and tighten hose
clamp.
Refit
CAUTION: In order to expel ALL air from
the cooling system, follow the procedures
carefully.
NOTE: Refill procedure is slow but can be
accelerated by squeezing hoses to assist
removal of air from the system.
4.Add correct mix of coolant into expansion tank
until radiator is full (as seen through plug hole on
top of radiator).
See LUBRICANTS, FLUIDS
AND CAPACITIES, Information, Anti-Freeze
CAUTION: Take care to avoid excess
coolant spillage from radiator.
5.Fit radiator plug.
6.Continue adding coolant into expansion tank
until coolant appears in thermostat housing.
CAUTION: Take care to avoid excess
coolant spillage from thermostat housing.
7.Fit thermostat housing plug.
8.Check coolant in expansion tank is level with
indicator post. Add more coolant if necessary.
9.Start engine and run for 5 minutes.
10.Allow engine to cool, check coolant level in
expansion tank; top up to level indicator post if
necessary.
11.Fit expansion tank filler cap.
