GENERAL

ACEA 2003 norms
The meaning of the first landter has not changed, it still corresponds
to the type of engine:
A: petrol and dual fuel petrol / LPG engines.
B: diesel engines.
The figure following the first landter corresponds to the type of oil:
3: high performance oils.
4: oils specifically for direct injection diesel engines.
5: very high performance oils permitting lower fuel consumption.
Example:
ACEA A3: high performance oils specifically for petrol and dual fuel
petrol / LPG engines.
ACEA A/B: blended oils giving very high performance for all engines,
also permitting bandter fuel economy, specifically for direct injection diesel
engines
NOTE: From 01/01/2003 there is no longer any reference to the year
of creation of the norm (example: ACEA A3/B3 98 becomes ACEA
A3/B3).

The meaning of the first landter has not changed, it still corresponds to
the type of engine:
S: petrol and dual fuel petrol / LPG engines.
C: diesel engines.
The second landter corresponds to the degree of evolution of the oil
(ascending order).
Example: Norm SL is more severe than norm SJ, corresponding to a
higher level of performance.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION

ALL TYPES
I - Oil consumption depends on:
-

the engine type.
how run-in or worn it is.
the type of oil used.
the driving conditions.

GENERAL

II - An engine can be considered RUN-IN after:
- 3,000 miles (5,000 km) for a PETROL engine.
- 6,000 miles (10,000 km) for a DIESEL engine.
III - MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE oil consumption for a RUN-IN engine:
- 0.5 litres per 600 miles (1,000 km) for a PETROL engine.
- 1 litre per 600 miles (1,000 km) for a DIESEL engine.
DO NOT INTERVENE BELOW THESE VALUES.
IV - OIL LEVEL: The level should NEVER be above the MAX. mark on the dipstick after changing or topping up the oil.
- This excess oil will be used up rapidly.
- It will reduce the engine output and adversely affect the operation of the air circuits and gas recycling

SPEEDOMETER

An E.E.C. decree of 25 June 1976, regulates the speed displayed by the speedmeter in relation to the actual speed travelled.
This decree stipulates:
- The speed indicated by a speedometer must never be lower than the actual vehicle speed.
- Between the speed displayed «SD» and the speed travelled «ST», there must always be the following relationship:

ST < SD < 1.10 ST + 4 Kph
CLUTCH

Example: For an actual speed of 100 Kph the speed displayed by the speedometer may be between 100 and 114 Kph.
The speed indicated by the speedometer may be influenced by:
- The speedometer.
- The tyres fitted to the vehicle.
- The final drive ratio.
- The speedometer drive ratio.
Any of these components can be checked without removing them from the vehicle (see information note N° 78-85 TT of 19 October 1978).
NOTE: Before replacing the speedometer, check the conformity of the following points:
- The tyres fitted to the vehicle.
- The gearbox final drive ratio.
- The speedometer drive ratio.

RECOMMENDATIONS - PRECAUTIONS: MA PILOTED MANUAL GEARBOX
Engines: HFX - KFV - NFU - 8HX
Safety requirements.

ESSENTIAL: Given the special features of the MA type piloted
manual gearbox, observe the requirements detailed below.

IMPERATIVE: When initialising the clutch actuator and/or gearbox
actuator, do not allow any person to walk or stand in front of the vehicle.

IMPERATIVE: Always disconnect the battery negative terminal
before operating on the actuators.

WARNING: When the engine is running, it is forbidden to perform
repairs on the clutch and gearbox actuators on the vehicle (whether
manually or using a diagnostic tool).

CLUTCH
GEARBOX
TRANSMISSION

NOTE: After disconnecting the battery, never try to remove the clutch
actuator on the vehicle before having checked that it is in the closed
position (rod pushed in).

WARNING: Each time the driver’s door is opened and each time the
igntion is switched on, the gearbox ECU prompts the initialising of the
clutch and gearbox actuators (there is movement of the clutch fork and
of the gear lever).

IMPERATIVE: After Sales checks done with the engine running must be
performed with «Neutral» engaged and the handbrake on (unless there
is a clear mention otherwise in the repair procedures).

WARNING: Whether the ignition is switched on or not, an action on the
gear selector causes the clutch fork and the gear engagement lever to
move on the gearbox.

IMPERATIVE: The areas of movement of the clutch fork and of the gear
engagement lever must always be kept free during the actuator
operating phases.

308

RECOMMENDATIONS - PRECAUTIONS: MA PILOTED MANUAL GEARBOX

C2

Engines: HFX - KFV - NFU - 8HX
Operations on electrical components.
Do not disconnect:
- The battery when the engine is running.
- The ECU with the ignition switched on.
- The clutch and gearbox actuators with the ignition switched on.

Towing.
Conditions for towing.

When carrying out electrical checks:
- The battery must be correctly charged.
- Never use a voltage source higher than 16V.
- Never use a lamp to supply an actuator directly.

If a gear is engaged, the conditions for immobilisation of the
vehicle are:
Combustion engine stopped (the engine should not be started).
The clutch is open (clutched).

Before disconnecting connector, check:
- The condition of the various contacts (for deformation, corrosion, etc).
- The presence and the status of the mechanical unlocking.

In these conditions are met, you can lift the front of the vehicle to tow it.
Driving the vehicle.
IMPERATIVE: Never move the vehicle with the ignition switched off.

If it should not be possibe to lift the front of the vehicle, there are
ways to unblock it:

Never push the vehicle to attempt to start it (impossible with a piloted
manual gearbox).

- Engage «N», using a diagnostic tool.
- Engage «N», without using a diagnostic tool.
309

CLUTCH
GEARBOX
TRANSMISSION

It is necessary to lift the front of the vehicle to tow it, after having
positioned the gear lever in neutral. If there is a gearbox fault or
malfunction, the vehicle can remain immobilised depending on the
seriousness of the fault.

Engaging of «N», without using a diagnostic tool.

Engaging of «N», using a diagnostic tool.
In this configuration, the gearbox actuator is blocked, gear engaged.
Preliminary operations:
- Battery voltage higher than 12.5 volts.
- Ignition switched on.
- Connect the diagnostic tool to the vehicle’s diagnostic socket.

NOTE: This recovery solution is to be used solely in a case where the
attempt to make the gearbox actuator engage b via the diagnostic tool
has failed.

From the diagnostic tool menus, select:

Procedure to be followed prior to carrying out repairs on AL4 autoactive gearbox

An excessive oil level can result in the following consequences:
- Excessive heating of the oil.
- Oil leaks.
An insufficent level causes the destruction of the gearbox.
Top up the level of oil in the gearbox (if necessary).
Check using a diagnostic tool.
Read the fault codes (engine and gearbox).

Réception client.
Discuss with the customer, to find out all the malfunction symptoms.
Oil quality - Oil level.
Oil quality.
If the gearbox has suffered a serious fault resulting in a malfunction
or the destruction of a clutch, the oil will overheat and become
contaminated with impurities: the oil is said to be «burnt».
This is characterised by a black colour and the presence of an
unpleasant smell.

Absence of fault codes.
Carry out parameter measures, actuator tests and a road test.
Presence of fault codes.
Carry out the necessary repairs.
Delete the fault codes.
Carry out a road test to check the repair and, if need be, modify the
gearbox ECU parameters (this is essential after an initialisation
of the ECU).

ESSENTIAL: The gearbox must be replaced.

CHARGING CIRCUIT - ALTERNATOR WITH MONO-FUNCTION REGULATOR
Checking the alternator output.

ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM

Connect as shown in the diagram opposite, using an ammeter (A), a voltmeter (V),
and a rheostat (R) or a Volt/Ammeter/Rheostat combination.
Referring to the vehicle’s equipment specification (see table opposite), adjust the
engine speed and rheostat charge to obtain U = 13.5 V.
Reminder: The excitation energising current will flow through the warning lamp;
check that the warning lamp comes on when the ignition is switched on. It should
go out when the engine has started (accelerate slightly).
Checking the voltage regulator.
D1AP025C

A : Ammeter.
B : Battery.
G : Generator.
L : Warning lamp.
K1 and K2 : Switch.
R : Electric charge.
S : Shunt 200mV/200A.
V : Voltmeter.
1 : Alternator.

Set the rheostat to zero and disconnect all the electrical consumers.
Display 3000 alternator rpm. If U alternator is > 14.7 V, the regulator is faulty.
Note: These tests should be performed with the engine hot and the battery fully
charged.
Method of reading the alternator speed.
Fit a reflecting shim on the pulley of the alternator.
Adjust a stroboscope to the frequency equivalent to the control speed.
(e.g. 2000 rpm = 2000/60 = 83 Hz).
Adjust the engine speed so that the shim appears fixed.

Compressor lubricant
ESSENTIAL: The compressor lubricant is extremely hygroscopic; always use FRESH oil.
Checking the compressor oil level
There are three specific cases:
1/ Repairs to a system without leaks.
2/ Slow leak.
3/ Fast leak.
1/ Repairing a system without leaks.

AIRCON

a) Using draining/recovery equipment not fitted with an oil decanter.
- Drain the system as slowly as possible via the LOW PRESSURE valve, so as not to lose any oil.
- No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.
b) Using draining/filling equipment fitted with an oil decanter.
- Drain the R 134.a fluid from the system in accordance with the instructions in the equipment handbook.
- Measure the amount of oil recovered.
- Add the same amount of NEW oil when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.
c) Replacing a compressor.
- Remove the old compressor, drain it and measure the oil quantity.
- Drain the new compressor (supplied full), so that the same amount of NEW oil is left in the compressor as was in the old compressor.
- No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.
496

SPECIAL FEATURES: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (R 134.a)
Checking the compressor oil level (Continued)

2/ Slow leak.
- Slow leaks do not lead to oil loss, therefore the same procedure should be followed as if there was no leak at all.

3/ Fast leak.

AIRCON

This type of leak causes both oil loss as well as allowing air to enter the system.
It is therefore necessary to:
- Replace the dehydrator.
- Drain as much oil as possible (when replacing the faulty component).
Either before or during filling of the system with R 134.a fluid, introduce 80 cc of NEW oil into the system.

Testing procedure

Conditions inside the vehicle.
Positions of the air conditioning controls:
Maximum cold.
Maximum blower power.
Air distribution on «ventilation» with the air vents open.
Position the air inlet flap to outside air.
WARNING: For RFTA (1), disconnect the air inlet motor connector, first
ensuring that it is in the outside air position.
(1) RFTA = Fully automatic air conditioning.

AIRCON

Test procedure.
When all these conditions are met, proceed in the following order:
- Measure the temperature in the workshop approx. one metre in front of
the vehicle’s air inlet grille.
- Start the engine (without the air conditioning, or the blower, operating)
and wait for the cooling fan slow speed to trigger (should the engine temperature not rise sufficiently, it is permissable to increase the engine
speed to 2000 rpm).
- Once it is sufficiently hot in the engine compartment, return the engine
to idle and commence the test.

498

Switch on the air conditioning and adjust the engine speed to 2500 rpm.
In an ambient temperature of 40°C, the engine speed will be brought
down to 2000 rpm, in order for the pressure safety threshold to cut off the
compressor.
For further temperatures/pressures: see Tables and Graphs on following
pages 221, 222 and 226.
After 3 minutes of operation, note down the following 3 parameters:
- The temperature of the blown air coming out of the 2 central air vents
(take the average).
- The high pressure, via the intermediary of the clickfit union (at the
pressure reducer inlet).
- The low pressure, via the intermediary of the clickfit union (at the pressure
reducer outlet).
NOTE: The low and high pressures are absolute pressures.
When measuring the blown air temperatures, avoid any contact between
the thermocouple and the air vents.
At the conclusion of the test involving vehicles with «RFTA», do not
forget to reconnect the air inlet motor connector.
