–the engine undertray,
–the front wheels,
–the front right and left undertrays at the end of the 
wheel arches,
–the wheel arch protectors,
–the front bumper,
–the side driveshafts (see section 29 of Workshop 
Repair Manual 315 "Remove and refit side 
driveshafts").
Open the degassing tank.
Drain the power assisted steering circuit:
–by the low pressure hoses on the cooler,
–by disconnecting the power assisted steering high 
pressure pipe (lower pipe) from the steering rack 
(tool Dir. 1282-01). Take care to prevent escape.Drain the cooling circuit through the lower radiator 
hose. 
Remove the air filter unit.

Disconnect the lead from the engine compartment 
connection unit; be sure to mark the location of the 
various connections correctly.
Separate:
–a connector from the battery tray,
–the control solenoid valve from the turbocharger 
regulation valve.
Fit hose pliers on the clutch master cylinder supply 
pipe (on the brake fluid tank side).
Open the clutch slave cylinder bleed screw 
(WARNING: you must use a counter-spanner at (C) 
to compensate the effort of loosening/retightening 
the bleed screw (A); see Technical Note 3345A).Disconnect:
Left side:
–the clutch slave cylinder high pressure union and 
release the pipe from its clips,
–the water hoses connecting the engine to the tank 
and the heater matrix element.
Right side:
–the diesel supply (1) and return (2) element from the 
injection pump to the filter. It is essential that you plug 
the openings with the appropriate plugs from kit 
Part No.: 77 01 206 381,
–the inertia switch connector (3),
–the air conditioning circuit low pressure pipe on the 
mounting bracket  on the throttle body.
Under the vehicle:
–the booster pump connector; refit the electric wiring 
harness to the engine.

MAINTENANCE
The principal maintenance operations on this 
assembly are:
–replacing the ignition spark plug (5),
–cleaning the filter at the pump inlet (13) (see 
page 61-2).
REMOVING - REFITTING COMPONENTS 
FUEL PUMP INLET FILTER (13) 
Remove the front bumper.
Rotate the pump (12) (see page 61-2) if it turns and 
loosen the union covering the filter (13). Clean or 
replace the filter if there is a combustion problem.
IGNITION SPARK PLUG
Disconnect and remove the heater without draining  the 
cooling circuit (use pliers Mot. 453-01).
Remove:
–the turbine cover (1),
–the control unit (9) and the cap (16),
–the spark plug (5) after disconnecting it.
FLAME DETECTOR 
Disconnect and remove the heater without draining the 
cooling circuit (use pliers  Mot. 453-01).
Remove:
–the turbine cover (1),
–the control unit (9) and the cap (16).
Disconnect the flame connector by pulling the flat 
terminals from the connector.
Remove the flame detector. 
(WARNING: fragile part)COMBUSTION CHAMBER (4) AND EXCHANGER (3)
Remove:
–the flame detector and spark plug, 
–the wiring harness fitted on the overheating 
detector (8) and the temperature sensor (7),
–the turbine support (1).
Remove the combustion chamber (4) and the 
exchanger (3) if necessary.
FAULT FINDING 
In case of a fault, check:
–if there is fuel in the tank,
–if the fuses are intact
–if the pipes, connections and electrical unions are 
intact,
–if the combustion air ducts or exhaust gas ducts are 
blocked (unblock them if necessary).
In the even of combustion with the production of soot, 
check:
–if the combustion air ducts or exhaust gas ducts are 
blocked (unblock them if necessary),
–if there is a deposit in the exchanger (3) or the 
combustion chamber (4); clean these if necessary,
–if the dosing pump flow is correct; 
To do this:
●remove the bumper,
●disconnect the electric pump inlet fuel pipe (12), 
from the side opposite the fuel filter (13),
●connect a pipe to the electric pump so that the flow 
can be collected in a glass at the same height as 
the heater,
●start the heater (if necessary, bridge the 
temperature sensor located in front of the battery 
screen). After approximately 40 seconds, the fuel 
arrives and begins to bleed the circuit. Switch off 
the ignition. Empty the glass and start again, 
collecting the stabilised flow for approximately 
30 seconds. Switch off the heater and measure the 
quantity of fuel collected. 
Normal flow: between 6.8 cm
3 and 7.8 cm3 for 
90 seconds of operation.
