Remove the rubber
cop from
the cover exten-
sion orm ond
use it to stop the mouth of
the
orm. Fit o guide extension into
the cleored hole
in the ornr ond
insert the
corrugoted poper hose
(included in the
cor equipment) into
the
ex-
iension ond
the holder on the
intoke ond
ex-
houst monifold.
Give the
hose the required shope by
bending
it slowly ond corefully. Above
oll, ploce
it into
the holcier so thot
there is
o suff icient distonce
(wide enough to
insert o
finger) between it
crnd the exhot-tst monifold.
Tightening of
cYlinder heod bolts
The cylinder heod
bolts should be tightened
in the running-in period before
the gosket gets
settled ond then
ofter every replocement of the
gosket, i.e., ofter
obout 1,000
kilometres' For

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

m. to ottoin on oil temperoture
of 70oC. Insert the probe
of the thermonreter
into the hole for the oil diPstick'
Now connect the
speed indicotor (tocho-
meter) ond the onolyzer of
corbon
.monoxide
(contoined in exhoust fumes). Use
the oir'cor-
iection screw (Fig.
15.3/9) to set the
speed
-r-?n
at 800 l;; t.
p. ni. cnd the fost-idling screw
(Fiq. 15.3/10) to odiust the
content of corbon
moioxide to 2*0.50/s or the oir-fuel proportion-
by-weight mixing rotio,
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
outword.
Note: For the bosic position of
odiusting
screws refer to Chopter 2.19 - "Mointenonce

UNDERBODY
Woshing ond Mointenonce
The visible ports
of the body qre
f inislred in
o hord synthetic boking vornish, the remoining
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
the solvents with woter (by
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
opply oil on iheit
upper sides. In oddition, rub
in greose of ony brond.
Lubricotion of Windscreen Wiper
Leveroge -
Remove the cover of the
ioint (o
plostic cup),
f ill it with greose, lubricote the
ioint, ond
rein-
stoll tlre cover.
The Lubricotion of
Inner Door Mechonisms
is possible only
ofter removing the
door ponel
ond the inner 'door
mechonism. Use
only re-
commended greose brcnds.

tling the engine.
3.-Uncouple the
hoses from
the engine line
in the engine boy -
See Fi1.15.131A. Proceeding
from und6r the vehicle, pull
the hoses
behind
the cross beorer of
the georbox,
ond let the
liquid flow
from the hoses.
4. Remove the
droin plug of
the cylinder
block ond, if necessory, free
the out'f low using
o length of wire,
etc.
N ot e : In oll, obout 85 0/0

ond the difference should
be reckoned with when

For the preporotion of this solution
olw.oys
use soft ond cleon woter. In the following
