Alun the engine unti the oil temperature has reached 90° C (temperature gau- ge shows norma). Then idie the engine for § minutes until the cooling fan has Switched off. © Check and if necessary correct the sump oil level. ‘Switch off the engine. Disconnect the oil pressure switch lead and unscrew the switch. The switch is located at the bottom of the oil fiter, on the A.H. side next to the alternator, be- low the large water hose. Fit the oil pressure gauge with a sealing washer and re-start the engine. Run the engine at idle speed and check the oil pressure indication, which should be around 2.7 kgisq.cm. (38 psi.). increase the engine speed to 2000 rpm and ‘check that the oil pressure reaches at least 33 kg/sq.cm. (47 psi). © Once more increase the engine speed, this time to 4000 rpm. The oil pressure must now be 38 kg/sq.om (54 psi). If the cil pressure is below the values given, it may be necessary to carry out an oil change. Re-check the pressure. If the pressure is siill low, the oll pump must be suspect and the pump must be removed for further investigation. © Tighten the oil pressure switch to 2.2 kgm (160 fi.lb.). The oil pressures given are valid for a good engine. If the engine has already a high mileage, it is possible that the pressure is lower as given during idle speed, must however, not drop below 02 - 0.4 kg/sq.cm. (3 - 55 psi). 17.4. ENGINE OIL LEVEL The oil level must be checked with the vehicle standing on level ground. Preferably the engine should be switched off for at least 10 minutes. Check the oil level in the ‘conventional manner. From the mark on the dipstick decide the amount of oil mis- sing. The difference between the “'Low’’ and the “High” marks Is 1.0 litres. ANvays check the oil level before any long journey. 1.8. Cooling System 180.

DRAINING AND REFILLING Mo separate dren points are provided and both must be opened to drain the sy- stem. First unscrew the expansion tank cap, then remove the drain plug at the bot If new anti-freeze Is to be filled in, place a suitable container undemeath the drain Point and collect it. it should not be emptied into the ground. ‘© Remove the drain plug from the side of the cylinder block to drain the remal- ning coolant. © Remove the expansion tank from its attachment and empty the remaining coo- lant. Place the tank to one side. Prepare the antifreeze mixture in accordance with the temperatures you expect in your area. Manufacturer's charts will give you the correct ratio, but remember that the cylinder head is made of aluminium and only an anti-freeze which will not at- tack this type of metal is suitable. Refit the cylinder biock and radiator drain plugs and make sure that they are tight. Open the bleed screws in accordance with the cooling system diagram shown in Figs. 1.81. The expansion tank cap must not be fitted. © Refit the expansion tank and fill it completely until the water, free of air bubbles, ermerges from the bleeder screw bore. Tighten the screw. © Once more chock that both drain plugs are tightened. Never start the engine with the bleeder screw opened. © Start the engine and wait until the thermostat has opened fully, ie. the fan has Switched on. Re-check the coolant level and add more anti-freeze if necessary. When the engine has cooled down, waut approx. 10 minutes and re-check the level. The coolant must be at the ‘Max’ mark on the expansion tank. 18.2. RADIATOR — REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION The radiator is made of aluminium. Make sure that only antifreeze suitable for alu- minium is used in the cooling system. Remove the radiator as iollows: © Disconnect the battery earth cable. © Drain the cooling system as described in the last section. Disconnect the and lower radiator hoses and withdraw all hoses between radiator and other parts. © Remove the front section of the vehicle and disconnect the cables from the fok lowing connectors: Headlamps and flasher lamps, cooling fan motor, radiator temperature switch. Free the cable clamps as applicable (see also Fig. 19). 70Fig. 181. — Cooling system diagram. 1 Radiator 5 Manifold pre-heating element 2 Expansion tank 6 Thermostat 3 Heater radiator 7 Bleeder screw 4 Water pump © Disconnect a small hose leading to the expansion tank (LH. side of engine compartment). ‘® Remove two screws securing the bonnet lock and remove the lock. ‘© Remove two bolts at the top and the further bolts at the bottom of the front pa- Nel and remove the complete radiator grille together with the radiator and the cooling fan assembly. The two water hoses are pulled at the same time from their connectors on the engine. The help of a second person could be appre- ciated. The radiator can now be removed from the front panel. The installation of the radiator is a reversal of the removal Procedure. Check all 71
