3 Fluid level checks 1 General 1 Fluids are an essential part of the lubrication, cooling, braking and other systems. Because these fluids gradually become depleted and/or contaminated during normal operation of the vehicle, they must be periodically replenished.
up, use only the correct grade and type of oil, as given in the “Lubricants, fluids and capacities” Section of this Chapter; use a funnel if necessary to prevent spills.
Be sure to use only the specified hydraulic fluid (see “Lubricants, fluids and capacities” at the start of this Chapter) since mixing different types of fluid can cause damage to the system. Warning: Brake hydraulic fluid can harm your eyes and damage painted surfaces, so use extreme caution when handling and pouring it.
embedded in the tread, before they penetrate the tyre to cause deflation. If removal of a nail reveals that the tyre has been punctured, refit the nail, so that its point of penetration is marked. Then immediately change the wheel, and have the tyre repaired by a tyre dealer.
the engine is still at normal operating temperature, just after a run; warm oil and sludge will flow out more easily. Park the vehicle on firm, level ground, apply the handbrake, then select 1st or reverse gear (manual transmission) or the “P” position (automatics).
fluid. If the vehicle is regularly parked in the same place, close inspection of the ground underneath it will soon show any leaks; ignore the puddle of water which will be left if the air conditioning system is in use. As soon as a leak is detected, its source must be traced and rectified.

If adjustment is required, proceed as follows. 35 Slacken the bolt in the centre of the tensioner jockey wheel, then turn the adjusting bolt, behind the adjuster, to obtain the correct belt tension (see illustration) . When the adjustment is correct, tighten the jockey wheel bolt.
from this while the system is in operation, to the extent that quite a large puddle can be left under the vehicle when it is parked. 2 It’s a good idea to operate the system for about 30 minutes at least once a month, particularly during the winter.
assembly should be maintained, not only to avoid excessive tyre wear, but also to avoid wear in the steering and suspension components. Wheel imbalance is normally signified by vibration through the vehicle’s bodyshell, although in many cases it is particularly noticeable through the steering wheel.
concerned about the condition of the pads, then remove them from the calipers for further inspection (refer to Chapter 9). 7 Check the remaining brake caliper(s) in the same way.
at the front left-hand side of the engine. Note the condition and colour of the fluid on the dipstick. 5 Wipe the fluid from the dipstick with a clean rag, and re-insert it into the filler tube until the cap seats. 6 Pull the dipstick out again, and note the fluid level.
5 If oil leakage is noted, disconnect the various hoses and pipes, and check that all are clear and unblocked. Remove the air cleaner assembly cover, and check that the hose is clear and undamaged. Always ensure that the air cleaner filter element is clean as this is a vital part of the system.
36 Brake fluid renewal 3 The procedure is similar to that for the bleeding of the hydraulic system as described in Chapter 9, except that the brake fluid reservoir should be emptied by syphoning, and allowance should be made for the old fluid to be removed from the circuit when bleeding a section of the circuit.

several points, using a micrometer (see illustration) . Any significant difference in the readings obtained indicates wear of the valve stem. Should any of these conditions be apparent, the valve(s) must be renewed.
12 Piston/connecting rod assemblies (V6 engine) - removal 3 The procedure is the same as described in the previous Section for 4-cylinder engines, but turn the crankshaft as necessary until each pair of pistons are at the bottom of their stroke and their connecting rod caps are accessible.
2 If any of the castings are extremely dirty, all should be steam-cleaned. 3 After the castings are returned from steam- cleaning, clean all oil holes and oil galleries one more time.
15 If any of the cylinder bores are badly scuffed or scored, or if they are excessively- worn, out-of-round or tapered, the usual course of action would be to have the cylinder block/crankcase rebored, and to fit new, oversized, pistons on reassembly.
connecting rod is clear by probing with a piece of wire. Temporarily remove the big-end bearing caps and the old bearing shells, wipe clean the rod and cap bearing recesses, and inspect them for nicks, gouges and scratches. After checking the rods, replace the old shells, slip the caps into place, and tighten the bolts finger-tight.

Final refitting 14 Carefully lift the crankshaft out of the engine. Clean the bearing surfaces of the shells in the block, then apply a thin, uniform layer of clean molybdenum disulphide-based grease, engine assembly lubricant, or clean engine oil to each surface (see illustration) .
8 Tap the top edge of the ring compressor to make sure it’s contacting the block around its entire circumference. 9 Gently tap on the top of the piston with the end of a wooden hammer handle (see illustration) , while guiding the connecting rod’s big-end onto the crankpin.

Fuel ECU: The fuel ECU is a microprocessor, which controls the entire operation of the fuel system. Contained in the ECU memory is a program which controls the fuel supply to the injectors, and their opening duration. The program enters sub-routines to alter these parameters, according to inputs from the other components of the system.
13 With the CO content correctly adjusted, switch off the engine and connect a tachometer according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 14 Before adjusting the base idle speed, the stepper motor must be cycled to its fully- extended position, using the following procedure: (a) Switch on the ignition.

The gas flows through a specially-shaped housing (the turbine housing) and in so doing, spins the turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is attached to a shaft, at the end of which is another vaned wheel known as the compressor wheel. The compressor wheel spins in its own housing, and compresses the inlet air on the way to the inlet manifold.

1 General information 1 The bodyshell and underframe is of all-steel welded construction, and is of computer- originated design. The assembly and welding of the main body unit is completed entirely by computer-controlled robots, and the finished unit is checked for dimensional accuracy using computer and laser technology.
Repairs of minor scratches in bodywork If the scratch is very superficial, and does not penetrate to the metal of the bodywork, repair is very simple. Lightly rub the area of the scratch with a paintwork renovator, or a very fine cutting paste, to remove loose paint from the scratch, and to clear the surrounding bodywork of wax polish.
The repair area is now ready for final spraying. Paint spraying must be carried out in a warm, dry, windless and dust-free atmosphere. This condition can be created artificially if you have access to a large indoor working area, but if you are forced to work in the open, you will have to pick your day very carefully.
