Refit the distributor on the engine by
re-
versing this procedure. The

Distributor Disossembly ond Reossembly
This should be done in speciolizedworkshops,
especiolly with regord
to the checking of the
mechonicol condition or o repoir
of the dis-
tributor. lt is recommended
to use o suitoble
holder for doing the moiority of the required
iobs in
o verticol position.
When reossembling
the distributor, lubricote
the sliding points
oc-
cording to Chopter 15.3
but bewore of over-
lubricotion.
Remove olso the copscrew
on the bottom of
the distributor housing ond drip some low-pour
point oil into the hole to increose the oil reserve
of the shoft
sel-lubricoting beoring -
see Chop-
ter 15.2 "Speciol
Oils".

(towords the motor windlng). Open the circlip
ond pull
it off the shoft together with the re-
leosed ports.
8. lf necessory, re-turn the commutotor ond
scrope or mill out the insulotion between the

Storter Motor Reossembly 1. Lubricote the hellx of the ormoture shoft
with greose -
see Chopter 15.2 'Lubriconts
of
foreing mokeu ond fit the pinion
with the idler
ond the slip-over ring in posltion.
Fit the
circlip
into the groove
in the shoft, ond drive the slip-
on ring over it. The pinion
with the idler must
move freely olong the shoft.
2. Slip the respective
woshers on the shoft in
their originol sequence (corrier
ring, distonce
ring, fibre ring, distonce ring) ond insert the
ormoture with the engoging lever
into the drive
end shield. 3. Suspend the switch
ormoture into the
pre-engoging lever ond bolt down the switch
lightly. Fit the lever pin
into the drive
end
shield ond lock it in position
with the retoiner.
4. Tighten the copscrews of the switch
ond
fit the stotor on the drive
end shield.
5. Instoll the respective
woshers into
the
commutotor end shield in
their originol se-
quence (the dished wosher with its centre
focing the shield, then the ploin
wosher, the
toothed wosher, ond the drive wosher).
6. Fit the commutotor end shield with lifted
brushes on the shoft (in
the position
occording
to the recess
for the excitotion outlet ond the
notch) ond screw in the clomping bolts.
7. Instoll the brush interconnecting strip ond
bolt it down together with the field winding
outlets to the positive
brush holders, lower the
brushes. 8. Fit the Insuloting strip in position
ond bolt
down the cover. 9. Test the storter mottr.
Diognosing Storter Motor Defects in Cor
o) lf the storter motor refuses
to operote, look
first for on interrupted connection between
the bottery ond
the storter
motor, the engine
eorthing ond the storter
motor, or the engine
eorthing ond the bottery. lf these connec-
tions ore in order (current
flows to the ter' DK

ond "50"
with switched on
ignition), stort looking for o foilure of the
storter motor switch. Even in this instonce,
the couse con be o fully dischorged or foulty
bottery.
b) lf the storter motor
continues running
even
ofter the ignition key hos been switched in
the switch box from the position "START",
it hos to be stopped without ony deloy by
disconnecting the bottery (using
its eorthed
pole).
c) lf the storter motor hos no power
to cronk
the engine, stort with switched-on heod-
lights. A
morked dimming indicotes c poorly
chorged bottery.
Tentotive Checking of
Storter Motor
Outside Cor
Connect the terminol "30'of
the storter
motor to o properly
chorged bottery ond incor'
porote on ommeter with o wide
meosuring ronge
into the circuit -
see Fig. 13.10/3.
Stort the
engine (feed
current to the terminol "50").
The
volue of the current ot idling speed must
not
exceed 65 omperes (not
considering the peok
ot
the first momentous deflection).
The storter motor must run noiselessly,
smoothly, ond the pinion
must move smoothly
into ond out of the rest position
(engoge
ond
diesengoge). The engoged pinion
must not ro-
tote direct on the foce of the slip-on ring. The
run-out of the storter motor must not lost longer
thon 8 seconds ofter the disconnection of the
switch from the current supply.
Inspect the brush pressure
springs. The
brushes must
beor on the commutotor by ot
leost two thirds of their surfoce ond they must
move freely in their cells.
The ormoture should hove o noticeoble oxiol
cleoronce (ploy)
not exceeding 0.7 mm.
At
o slight rototion of the pinion
in the direction
of the storter motor rototion,
the idlor must
slip
freely.

Alwoys turn the engine clockwise to eliminote ony ploy
in the distributor drive geor
ond to
ovoid loosening of the bolt. To relieve the
com-
pression resistonce, it
is recommended to bock
off the sporking plugs.
b) Stroboscopic method:
When using this method, the volues of the
bosic ignition timing ond
the odvonce con-
trolled by the centrifugol timing control (for
its
diogrom refer to Chopter 13.5) should be odded
upwhile multiplying bytwo
the odded upvolues
occording to the diogrom. Any effect of the
vocuum control must be
eliminoted by discorr-
necting the respective hose (connecting
the
distributor vocuum unit with the corburettor).
The meosuring procedure
is indicoted by the
diognostic equipment itself.
To Adiust ldling Speed
Use the oir-correction screw (speed
cor-
rection screw). The speed decreoses when ro-
toting the screw clockwise ond increoses when
rototing it onticlockwise.
Adiust the idling speed in occordonce with
the tochometer ond within the limits specified
in the following porogroph "To
Adiust ldle
Run". The engine must be wormed-up
before
storting the odjusting procedure (see
olso the
following porogrophs) ond its ignition must be
in perfect
condition (distributor
contoct-breoker
points, sporking plug
electrodes, ond ignition
odvonce).
N o t e : For the bosic position
of the odiusting
screw refer to Chopter 2.19 - "Mointenonce

of the thermonreter
into the hole for the oil diPstick'
Now connect the
speed indicotor (tocho-
meter) ond the onolyzer of
corbon

(contoined in exhoust fumes). Use

comporoble with
the
specif ied corbon monoxide content, to
1+.2 +$.t.
After about one minute of
the continued idle
running recheck the odiustment ond
correct it,
if necelsory. Close the hole
with the
fost-idling
screw by driving in o
new plug with
its bottom

odiusting
screws refer to Chopter 2.19 - "Mointenonce

The visible ports
of the body qre

ports in synthetic vornish.
The underbody is sproy-cooted
with o plostic
compound -
for detoiled informotion, see Chop-
ter '14.9.
Follow the
usuol procedures
when
woshing, cleoning ond polishing
the cor, ond
observe the specific instructions for
the use of
woshing ond cleoning preporotions,
issued by
their monufocturers.
All lights with the exception
of heodlomps
hove cosings of plostic
moteriols qnd
they
should be cleoned onlywith woteror shompoos.
When hosing down the corr
cover the voltoge
regulotor of the olternotor ond
the ignition coil
to protect
them ogoinst sploshing with woter,
ond do not
sproy woter direct on
the door lock
ond the lid covering the fuel
tonk filler neck.
Woshing ond Core of Underbody
Mechonisms
The underbody mechonisms
ore protected
with o synthetic vornish which stonds
well the
usuol woshing procedures.
Protect oll rubberports
ogoinst direct contoct with speciol chemi-
col solvLnts or limit the durotion of this
contoct
to o minimum before
o complete woshing off of

hosing down, etc.)'
Keep the oil cooler, if fitted on
the cor, in
cleon'condition. Hose
it down when woshing
the cor, ond if dirt still
sticks to the cooling
surfoces, use some of the detergents.
Bodywork Lubricotion
Routine mointenonce includes the
lubricotion
of door hinges ond limiters, hinges
ond releose
mechonismi of the engine bonnet ond boot lid,
the releose mechonism of
the spore wheel,
ond
the leveroge of windscreen wipers. Lubricotion
of inner dolor mechonisms is
included in
speciol
mqintenonce. Lubricote oll occessible mechcnisms
with
high-quolity greoses which
do not
dry, do not
oxldize, ond protect
the mechonisms ogoinst
corrosion for o long time. Oil is
not suitoble due
to its short-time efJect. Any greose con
be used
to lubricqte the
door limiters ond
the front
seot
slide roils.
Lubricotion of SporeWheel Corrier
Bearings-
Remove the spore wheel,
cleon the hinges, ond
