Description
General
The Td4 diesel engine is a 2.0 litre, 4 cylinder, in-line direct injection unit having four valves per cylinder operated by
twin overhead camshafts. The engine emissions comply with EU-3 (European Commission Directive) legislative
requirements and employs a catalytic converter, positive crankcase ventilation and exhaust gas recirculation to limit
the emission of pollutants. The unit is water cooled and turbo-charged and is controlled by an electronic engine
management system. Fuel injection features common rail technology.
The engine is controlled by a DDE 4.0 engine management system.
+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - EDC, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
The cylinder block is of cast iron construction with a cast aluminium stiffening plate bolted to the bottom to improve
lower structure rigidity. The cylinder head is cast aluminium with a moulded plastic camshaft cover. The engine sump
is a two-piece cast aluminium assembly. A moulded plastic acoustic cover is fitted over the upper engine to reduce
engine generated noise.
The engine utilises the following features:
lDirect fuel injection utilising a common rail and high pressure injectors controlled by an engine management
system for precise fuel delivery under all prevailing operating conditions. A high pressure intermediary fuel pump
is chain driven from the crankshaft to supply fuel to the common rail
l4 valves per cylinder with centrally arranged injection nozzle
lTurbocharging which delivers compressed air via an intercooler to the combustion chambers for improved power
output
lExhaust gas recirculation to improve emissions through the reduction of NO2
lOil cooler to keep engine lubrication oil cool under heavy loads and high ambient temperatures
Cylinder Block Components
The cylinder block components are described below:
Cylinder Block
The cylinders and crankcase are contained in a single grey cast iron construction with hollow beam structure. The
cylinders are direct bored. Lubrication oil is supplied via lubrication jets for piston and gudgeon pin lubrication and
cooling.
Lubrication oil is distributed throughout the block via the main oil gallery to critical moving parts through channels
bored in the block which divert oil to the main bearings, and to the big-end bearings via holes machined into the
crankshaft.
An oil cooler is fitted to the side of the oil filter assembly with ports in the oil cooler mating with ports in the oil filter
assembly, to facilitate coolant and oil flow from the cylinder block. An oil pressure switch is included in a tapping in
the oil filter assembly which is used to determine whether sufficient oil pressure is available to provide engine
lubrication and cooling.
A tapping at the front RH side of the cylinder block connects a pipe to the turbocharger by means of a banjo
connection. Oil under pressure from the oil pump provides lubrication for the turbocharger bearings.
Cylinder cooling is achieved by coolant circulating through chambers in the engine block casting. Note that the water
jacket does not have core plugs.
Two hollow metal dowels are used to locate the cylinder block to the cylinder head, one on each side at the front of
the unit. Two additional hollow metal dowels are used to locate the timing cover to the cylinder block.
Connecting Rods
The connecting rods are machined, H-sectioned steel forgings. The big-end bearing shells are plain split halves. The
upper half bearing shell fitted to the connecting rod is treated using the sputtering process (cathodic surface coating
process) to improve its resistance to wear.
The small-end of the connecting rod has a bushed solid eye which is free to move on the gudgeon pin. The small-end
bushing is a hand-push transition fit.
12-1-16 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Page 30
ENGINE - TD4
Pistons
The four pistons have graphite-compound coated aluminium alloy skirts, which are gravity die cast and machined.
Each of the pistons has a swirl chamber machined in the head which partly contains the inlet air during the combustion
process and helps provide turbulence for efficient air/fuel mixture to promote complete combustion. The recesses in
the piston's crown also provide clearance for the valve heads.
The pistons are attached to the small-end of the connecting rods by fully floating gudgeon pins which are retained in
the piston by circlips.
The pistons incorporate an oil cooling channel for piston and gudgeon pin cooling, oil being supplied under pressure
from the piston lubrication jets.
Piston Rings
Each piston is fitted with two compression rings and an oil control ring.
The top ring is barrel-edged and chrome plated, the 2nd compression ring is taper-faced and the oil control ring is
chrome plated and features a bevelled ring with spring.
Piston Lubrication Jets
The four lubrication jets (one for each cylinder) have a long hook-type nozzle and are fitted at the bottom right hand
side of each cylinder by two socket screws.
The jets provide lubrication to the cylinder walls, and to the piston underskirt for cooling the pistons and lubricating
the gudgeon pins and small-end bearings. The input port to each lubrication jet mates with a port provided in each
mounting position, tapped at the underside of the cylinder block from a main gallery on the RH side of the block.
Oil Cooler and Oil Filter Housing
The engine oil cooler assembly is located on the oil filter housing and is connected to the vehicle cooling system. Oil
from the cylinder block passes through the oil filter housing and partial flow is directed through the oil cooler before it
is returned to the cylinder block. The oil filter housing has an integral thermostatic valve which controls the amount of
oil flowing through the oil cooler, dependent on the oil temperature.
The oil filter is a disposable paper type. The filter is removed by unscrewing the cap of the oil filter housing.
Oil Pressure Switch
The oil pressure switch is located in a port in the oil filter housing. It detects when a low oil pressure condition occurs
and initiates the illumination of a warning light in the instrument pack if the pressure drops below a given value.
High Pressure Fuel Pump
The high pressure fuel pump supplying the common fuel rail is fixed to a flange on the front LH side of the cylinder
block. The pump is a 3 radial piston type controlled by the DDE 4.0 engine management system and chain driven
from the crankshaft at 0.75 x engine speed.
+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - EDC, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The crankshaft position sensor is mounted on the rear LH side of the cylinder block. The sensor is a Hall-effect type
which acts on a profiled target on the flywheel.
+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - EDC, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Sump, Crankshaft and Oil Pump Components
The sump, crankshaft and oil pump components are described below:
Sump
The sump is a two piece aluminium die-cast construction. The sump assembly is sealed to the bottom of the engine
block by means of a rubber and metal gasket and 19 fixing bolts. The four bolts at the gearbox end of the engine block
are longer than the remaining 15 bolts. Liquid sealing compound is used to seal the sump to the engine block at
defined points.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 12-1-17
Page 31
ENGINE - TD4
A thermal oil level sensor is fitted through the bottom plate of the sump and is fixed to the bottom plate by means of
three studs and nuts. The oil drain plug with sealing washer is also fitted to the RH side of the bottom plate. The bottom
plate is attached to the upper portion of the sump by means of 16 bolts, and a rubber-metal gasket seals the interface
between the two components.
A port for the dipstick tube is included in the casting on the LH side of the sump.
An oil pick-up pipe with integral strainer locates in the centre of the sump oil pan to provide oil to the crankshaft driven
oil pump.
Stiffener Plate
The stiffener plate increases the rigidity of the lower engine block and is secured to the bottom of the cylinder block
by 6 bolts.
Oil Pump
The oil pump assembly is bolted to the bottom of the cylinder block and is located in front of the engine block stiffener
plate. The pump is an internal rotor type with sintered rotors and is driven through a chain and sprocket system from
the crankshaft.
A pressure relief valve is included at the outlet side of the oil pump to restrict oil pressure at high engine speeds by
recirculating oil through the relief valve back around the pump to the inlet. The relief valve and spring is a plunger type;
when oil pressure is great enough to lift the plunger, oil is allowed to escape past the plunger to relieve pressure and
prevent further rise.
Oil is delivered to the pump from the pick-up pipe, and the outlet side of the oil pump delivers pressurised oil flow to
the engine block main oil delivery gallery.
Crankshaft and Main Bearings
The crankshaft is carried in 5 main bearings, number 4 main bearing having integral thrust washers for controlling
end-float.
Cross-drillings in the crankshaft between adjoining main and big-end bearings are used to divert oil from the main
bearings to lubricate the big-end bearings.
The crankshaft seals are made from PTFE. The front end of the crankshaft has a torsional vibration damper with
integrated pulley attached for driving the ancillary components.
Each of the bearing caps are of cast iron construction and are attached to the cylinder block by two bolts. The bearing
shells are of the split cylindrical type. The upper half shells are grooved to facilitate the supply of lubrication oil to the
bearings and fit into a recess in the underside of the cylinder block. The lower half bearing shells are plain and fit into
the bearing caps.
Cylinder Head Components
The cylinder head components are described below:
Cylinder Head
The cylinder head is of aluminium gravity die casting construction. The cylinder head is bolted to the cylinder block by
means of M12 cylinder head bolts arranged beneath each camshaft.
The cylinder head gasket is a multi-layer steel type and is available in three thicknesses. The choice of gasket
thickness is dependent on the maximum piston protrusion.
The cylinder head has four ports machined at each cylinder location, two exhaust ports and two inlet ports. One of the
inlet ports is helical and functions as a swirl port, the other is arranged laterally as a tangential port and functions as
a charge port.
The cylinder head cooling system features combined longitudinal/transverse coolant flow. Coolant outlet is through a
moulded plastic outlet elbow fixed to the cylinder head by three screws at the centre LH side of the cylinder head. The
coolant thermostat is contained in a cast assembly at the inlet side and is bolted to the water pump which is driven
from the ancillary drive belt. The coolant temperature sensor is screwed into an aperture at the rear LH side of the
cylinder head.

The four fuel injection nozzles are centrally mounted above each cylinder and each is fixed to the cylinder head by
means of two stud bolts. The central position of the injectors provides a symmetrical spray pattern to the central
combustion bowl of the piston.
+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - EDC, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Glow plugs are arranged centrally on the inlet side of the cylinder head, between the tangential port and the swirl port
of each cylinder.
+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - EDC, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
A support bracket for the camshaft driven vacuum pump is located at the rear RH side of the cylinder head.
Vacuum Pump
The vacuum pump is located on a support bracket at the rear RH side of the cylinder head and is driven from the
exhaust camshaft.
Camshafts
There is one exhaust camshaft and one intake camshaft. Each of the camshafts are located in five bearings and
maintained in position by five bearing caps. Each of the bearing caps are fixed to the cylinder head by two bolts. The
camshafts are made using the clear chill casting process and are hollow cast. The cam lobes have a negative cam
radius. The camshafts are driven from the crankshaft using a simplex chain and sprocket arrangement.
Each camshaft has eight machined lobes for operating the inlet and exhaust valves through lash adjusters and rollertype finger levers. The exhaust camshaft is machined at the rear end to provide a drive connection for the vacuum
pump.
Inlet and Exhaust Valves
The inlet and exhaust valves are identical and have ground, solid one-piece head and stems made from Nimonic alloy
material.
The valve springs are made from spring steel and are of the parallel single-coil type. The bottom end of each spring
rests on the flange of a spring retainer which has an integral valve stem seal. The top end of the spring is held in place
by a spring retainer which is held in position at the top end of the valve stem by split taper collets. The taper collets
have grooves on the internal bore that locate to grooves ground into the upper stems of the valves.
Valve seats and valve guides are an interference fit in the cylinder head.
Hydraulic Tappets and Roller Finger Rockers
The valves are operated through roller-type finger rockers and hydraulic tappets, actuated by the camshaft lobes.
When the camshaft lobe presses down on the top of a finger rocker, roller mechanism, the respective valve is forced
down, opening the effected inlet or exhaust port. The use of this type of actuation method helps reduce friction in the
valve timing mechanism.
The body of the hydraulic tappets contains a plunger and two chambers for oil feed and pressurised oil. The
pressurised oil is supplied to the tappets via the main oil galleries in the cylinder head and through a hole in the side
of the tappet body. The oil passes into a feed chamber in the tappet and then through to a separate pressure chamber
via a one way ball valve.
Oil flow from the pressure chamber is determined by the amount of clearance between the tappet outer body and the
centre plunger. Oil escapes up the side of the plunger every time the tappet is operated, the downward pressure on
the plunger forcing a corresponding amount of oil in the tappet body to be displaced. When the downward pressure
from the camshaft and finger rocker is removed (i.e. after the trailing flank of the camshaft lobe has passed), oil
pressure forces the tappet's plunger up again. This pressure is not sufficient to effect the valve operation, but
eliminates the clearance between the finger rocker and top of the valve stem.
Camshaft Cover Components
The camshaft cover and engine cover components are described below:
The cover is of moulded plastic construction and is used to seal off the oil chamber in the cylinder head. It shields the
oil spray from the camshaft and the chain drive gear and provides the valve gear housing.
An oil separator for the crankcase ventilation system is mounted at the centre top of the cover, which provides
preliminary oil separation by cyclone, and fine separation using an internal yarn wrap filter. The separator unit also
contains a pressure control valve.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 12-1-19
Page 33
ENGINE - TD4
The camshaft cover includes an integrated air filter housing which is de-coupled from the cylinder head to absorb and
minimise the transmission of engine noise. The air cleaner is designed in the form of an oval cartridge. The camshaft
cover also provides a mounting for the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor.
Camshaft Timing Train Components
The timing chain cover and timing chain components are described below:
Timing Chain Cover
The timing chain cover is cast and machined aluminium alloy and is attached to the cylinder block by 14 bolts. Five
bolts are used to fix the upper flange of the timing cover to the cylinder head casting, and a further four bolts secure
the front of the sump to the timing cover. The bottom of the timing cover is located to the front face of the cylinder
block by two metal dowels.
The front of the crankshaft passes through a hole in the timing cover, and an oil seal is used to seal the interface
between the front of the crankshaft and the timing cover.
Timing Chains
Two chain drives are utilised. The timing chain between the crankshaft sprocket and the fuel injection pump sprocket
is a simplex type. The timing chain is contained between one fixed and one hydraulically adjustable tensioning rail.
The chain drive from the fuel injection pump sprocket to the two camshaft sprockets is also a simplex type. The chain
between the camshaft and injection pump runs between one fixed guide rail and a hydraulically adjustable tensioning
rail to minimise chain flutter. An additional plastic chain guide is located above the two camshaft sprockets.
The adjustable tensioning rails are of aluminium die casting construction with clip-fastened plastic slide linings. The
fixed guide rails are moulded plastic. The tensioner rails are attached to the front of the cylinder blocks using pivot
bolts which allow the tensioner rail to pivot about its axis.
The hydraulic tensioner for both chains is provided from a single unit which contains two hydraulically operated
plungers that operate on the tensioning rails at the slack side of each of the timing chains. Pressurised oil for the
adjuster is supplied through the back of the unit from an oil supply port in the front of the cylinder block. The lateral
movement in the tensioner arm causes the timing chain to tension and consequently, compensation for chain flutter
and timing chain wear is automatically controlled.
The timing chains are oil splash lubricated via the oil pump and chain tensioner. Oil spray is directed to the chain from
several oil supply ports in the front of the cylinder block and cylinder head.
An additional chain from the crankshaft sprocket connects to the oil pump sprocket for oil pump operation.
Lubrication Circuit
Oil from the sump is drawn up through a fabricated metal pick-up pipe which contains a mesh to filter out any relatively
large pieces of material which could cause damage to the oil pump. The head of the pick-up is centrally immersed in
the sump oil and oil is delivered to the inlet side of the eccentric rotary pump.
The oil pump is driven from the crankshaft by a chain and sprocket system. Pressurised oil from the pump is passed
through a port in the bottom of the cylinder block and is directed up to the oil inlet port of the oil filter housing via a port
in the RH side of the cylinder block. The oil pump contains an oil pressure relief valve which opens to allow oil to be
recirculated back around the pump if the oil pressure increases to a high enough level.
The inlet port of the oil filter housing has an integral non-return valve which allows flow into the filter, but prevents
unfiltered oil draining back out of the filter housing when oil pressure is reduced.
The oil passes through the oil filter element and out to the oil cooler. The percentage of oil flow passed through to the
oil cooler is dependent on a thermostatic by-pass valve which is integrated into the oil filter housing. An increase in
oil temperature causes the by-pass valve to open and allow a greater percentage of oil flow to be directed through the
oil cooler. The remainder of the oil flow from the outlet side of the filter element is directed to the outlet port of the oil
filter housing where it combines with the oil flow being returned from the oil cooler before being passed back into the
cylinder block.
An oil pressure switch is included in the outlet port of the oil filter housing to sense the oil pressure level before the oil
flow enters the main oil gallery in the engine block. A warning lamp in the instrument pack is switched on if the oil
pressure is detected to be too low.
+ INSTRUMENTS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
12-1-20 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Page 34
ENGINE - TD4
The oil entering the cylinder block main gallery passes through drillings to the crankshaft main bearings and cross
drillings in the crankshaft direct oil to the big-end bearings. An additional four drillings in the cylinder block supply oil
at reduced pressure to the lubrication jets for piston and cylinder cooling and gudgeon pin lubrication.
A cross channel from the LH main oil gallery crosses to the RH side of the cylinder block where there is an outlet port
which provides a pressurised oil supply to the turbocharger bearings via a banjo connection and external piping.
Riser channels at the front RH side and rear LH side of the cylinder block are used to channel oil to mating ports in
the cylinder head and provide a source for cylinder head lubrication and operating pressure for the hydraulic tappets.
Oil is fed through oil galleries at the LH and RH side of the engine and four cross channels from each gallery directs
oil to the camshaft bearings. Lubrication oil fed to the tappets passes up through the tappet body to the finger rockers
for lubrication of the surfaces between the finger rockers and the camshaft lobes.
Tapered plugs seal the cylinder head main oil galleries at the rear of the cylinder head, and an additional tapered plug
is included inside the cylinder head at the front of the RH gallery.
An additional riser channel from the cylinder block LH main oil gallery is used to supply lubrication to the timing chain
system through several outlet ports at the front of the cylinder block and cylinder head.

Operation
General
The 'K' Series engine is built up from aluminium castings bolted together. These consist of three major castings; the
cylinder head, cylinder block and a bearing ladder, which is line bored to provide the main bearing bores. Attached to
these are three minor castings; above the cylinder head, the camshaft carrier and the camshaft cover. Below the
bearing ladder is an oil rail.
Each of the ten cylinder head bolts passes through the cylinder head, cylinder block and bearing ladder to screw into
the oil rail. This puts the cylinder head, cylinder block and bearing ladder into compression with all the tensile loads
being carried by the cylinder head bolts.
When the cylinder head bolts are removed; additional fixings are used to retain the bearing ladder to the cylinder block
and the oil rail to the bearing ladder.
The cross flow cylinder head is based on a four valve, central spark plug, combustion chamber with the inlet ports
designed to induce swirl and control the speed of the induction charge. This serves to improve combustion and hence
fuel economy, performance and exhaust emissions. The twin overhead camshafts operate the valves via hydraulic
tappets, one camshaft operates the exhaust valves while the other operates the inlet valves. The camshafts are driven
from the crankshaft by a timing belt, belt tension being maintained by an automatic tensioner. The camshafts are
retained by the camshaft carrier, which is line bored with the cylinder head.
The plug-top coil ignition system utilises a camshaft sensor located in the camshaft carrier, adjacent to the exhaust
camshaft. The camshafts have an integral reluctor ring, which provides an input to the camshaft sensor. Twin coils
are fitted on top of the camshaft cover, each coil supplying HT voltage to one pair of spark plugs.
Self-adjusting hydraulic tappets are fitted on top of each valve and are operated directly by the camshafts. The valve
stem oil seals are moulded onto a metal base which also act as the valve spring seat on the cylinder head.
Exhaust valves are of the carbon break-type. A machined profile on the valve stem removes any build up of carbon
in the combustion chamber end of the valve guide thereby preventing valves from sticking.
The stainless steel cylinder head gasket has moulded seals around all coolant, breather and oil apertures and has
steel cylinder bore eyelets. Limiters at each end of the gasket control compression of the gasket.
The cylinder block is fitted with 'damp' cylinder liners, the bottom, stepped half of the damp liner, being a sliding fit into
the lower part of the cylinder block. The liners are sealed in the block with a bead of Hylomar. The bead is applied
around the stepped portion of the liner. The cylinder head gasket effects the seal at the cylinder head with the liner
top acting as a break between the combustion chamber and gasket.
The aluminium alloy, thermal expansion pistons have a semi- floating gudgeon pin, which is offset towards the thrust
side and has interference fit in the small end of the connecting rod. Pistons and cylinder liners are supplied in two
grades. Big-end bearing diametric clearance is controlled by three grades of selective shell bearing.
The five bearing, eight balance weight crankshaft has its end-float controlled by thrust washer halves at the top of the
central main bearing. Bearing diametric clearance is controlled by three grades of selective shell bearing. Oil grooves
are provided in the upper halves of main bearings No. 2, 3 and 4 to supply oil, via drillings in the crankshaft, to the
connecting rod big-end bearings.
12-2-12 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Page 48
Engine Lubrication System
ENGINE - K SERIES 1.8
The lubrication system is of the full-flow filtration, forced fed type. The oil sump is of either pressed steel or alloy
manufacture. Pressed steel sumps are sealed to the bearing ladder using a positively located gasket incorporating
compression limiters. Alloy sumps are sealed to the bearing ladder with a bead of sealant applied to the sump flange.
Oil is drawn, via a strainer and suction pipe (1) in the sump, into the crankshaft driven oil pump (2) of the trochoid type
which has an integral pressure relief valve (3), excess oil is diverted into the intake (4) of the oil pump. Oil is pumped
through the full-flow cartridge-type oil filter (5), mounted on an adapter attached to the oil pump housing. The low-oil
pressure sensor (6) is also screwed into the adapter and registers the oil pressure in the main oil gallery on the outflow
side of the filter.
The main oil gallery (7) is fed through the oil rail below the main bearing ladder in which drillings direct the oil to the
main bearings. Cross drillings in the crankshaft from No. 2 and 4 main bearings carry the oil to the big-end bearings.
A passage in the oil pump housing connects to a drilling (8) in the cylinder block to oil ways (9) in the cylinder head.
Oil is fed through the cylinder head to twin full-length oil ways (10) in the camshaft carrier to supply oil to each
hydraulic tappet and camshaft bearing.

Description
General
The KV6 is of all aluminium construction, with a 90
in threads 70 mm below the mating face of the cylinder block to attach the cylinder head to the cylinder block. This
ensures sufficient structural stiffness to take advantage of the compressive strength of aluminium alloy and minimise
tensile loadings. There are 8 cylinder head bolts for each cylinder head, located below the camshafts.
The engine features 24 valves, sequential fuel injection, liquid cooling and is transverse mounted. It is controlled by
a Siemens engine management system utilising a range of sensors to constantly monitor and optimise engine
performance.

Cylinder Block Components
The cylinder block components are described below:
Cylinder Block and Main Bearing Ladder
The cylinder block is constructed of an aluminium alloy and is cast in three sections:
° V configuration. The KV6 uses long cylinder head bolts engaging
For strength and rigidity, the main bearing ladder is manufactured from special alloy A357TF as used in manufacturing
components in the aerospace industry. The main bearing ladder is secured to the cylinder block with 16 bolts, thus
creating a very rigid crankcase 'box'. A separate outer crankcase extension adds further strength to the lower end of
the cylinder block. The lower crankcase extension is sealed to the underside of the cylinder block, using jointing
compound, and secured with 10 bolts. Fitted to the lower crankcase is an aluminium alloy sump.
Pistons and Cylinder Liners
The aluminium alloy, thermal expansion, lightweight pistons, with semi-floating gudgeon pins, are offset to the thrust
side and are carried on forged steel connecting rods. Pistons and cylinder liners are supplied in two grades, 'A' and
'B' and are also colour coded to assist identification. The pistons are marked to ensure they are correctly oriented in
the cylinder liner; the 'FRONT' mark should be toward the front of the engine.
The cylinder block is fitted with 'damp' cylinder liners, the bottom stepped half of the cylinder liner being a sliding fit
into the lower part of the cylinder block. The liners are sealed in the block with a bead of sealant applied around the
stepped portion of the cylinder liner. The top of the cylinder liner is sealed by a multi-layer steel cylinder head gasket
when the cylinder head is fitted.
The cylinder liner diameters are smaller than the big-end forging of the connecting rods and need to be removed
complete with pistons and connecting rods from the cylinder block.
Connecting Rods
The KV6 engine utilises forged steel H-sectioned connecting rods, with the gudgeon pin being an interference fit in
the small end of the connecting rod. The big-ends are horizontally split.
Big-end bearing diametric clearance is controlled by selective bearing shells with three grades of thickness. The bigend upper and lower bearing shells are plain with locating tags.
Piston Rings
Each piston is fitted with two compression rings and an oil control ring. The top compression rings are chrome-plated
steel. The 2nd compression rings are chrome-plated cast iron. The oil control rings have stainless steel top and
bottom rails and integral expander rings.

ENGINE - K SERIES KV6
Crankshaft, Sump and Oil Pump Components
The crankshaft and sump components are described below:
Crankshaft
The short, stiff crankshaft is supported on four main bearings, with each pair of crankpins mutually offset by 30
give equal firing intervals. Cast in Spheroidal Graphite (SG) iron, the crankshaft has cold rolled fillets on all journals,
except the outer mains, for toughness and failure resistance. End-float is controlled by thrust washer halves at the top
and bottom of the rear main bearing.
Main Bearings
Oil grooves are provided in the upper halves of all the main bearing shells to supply oil, via drillings in the crankshaft,
to the connecting rod big-end bearings. The lower halves of the bearing shells in the bearing ladder are plain.
Sump
The cast aluminium sump is a wet-type, sealed to the lower crankcase extension using sealant applied to the sump
flange. The sump is fixed to the lower crankcase extension using 10 bolts. A baffle plate is fitted in the lower crankcase
extension to minimise the effects of oil slosh.
An oil pick-up with integral strainer is located in the centre of the sump oil well, as a source for the supply of engine
lubrication oil to the oil pump. Oil is sucked up though the end of the pick–up and strained to prevent solid matter from
entering the oil pump.
Oil Pump
The oil pump is directly driven from the crankshaft. The oil pump housing includes the oil pressure relief valve, oil filter,
oil pressure switch and return/supply outlets for the engine oil cooler.
° to
Oil Filter
A full-flow, disposable canister-type oil filter is attached to the oil pump housing at the front of the engine.
Oil Cooler
A liquid cooled oil cooler keeps the engine lubrication oil cool, under heavy loads and high ambient temperatures.
The oil cooler is cooled by the engine cooling system and attached to a bracket secured to the front of the sump by
three bolts. Oil is delivered to and from the oil cooler through hoses connected to the oil pump housing. Hoses from
the engine cooling system are connected to two pipes on the oil cooler for the supply and return of coolant.
Oil Pressure Switch
The oil pressure switch is located in a port at the outlet side of the oil filter. It detects when a safe operating pressure
has been reached during engine starting and initiates the illumination of a warning light in the instrument pack if the
oil pressure drops below a given value.
Cylinder Head Components
The cylinder head components are described below:
Cylinder Head
The cross-flow cylinder heads are based on a four valve, central spark plug combustion chamber, with the inlet ports
designed to induce swirl and control the speed of the induction charge. This serves to improve combustion and hence
fuel economy, performance and exhaust emissions.
LH and RH cylinder heads are identical castings.
Camshafts
Twin camshafts on each cylinder bank are retained by a camshaft carrier, line bored with the cylinder head. The
camshafts are located by a flange which also controls end-float. A crossover drive for the exhaust camshaft, from the
rear of the inlet camshaft is by a short toothed belt, which allows for a much shorter and simpler run for the main
camshaft drive belt at the front of the engine.
12-3-16 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Page 66
ENGINE - K SERIES KV6
The exhaust camshaft drive gears have dampers integral with the gear to minimise torsional vibration. The inlet
camshaft for the LH cylinder head incorporates a reluctor which is used in conjunction with the Camshaft Position
(CMP) sensor to measure engine position. The CMP sensor is bolted to the LH camshaft cover.

Description.
+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – SIEMENS (NAS), DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Cylinder Head Gasket
The KV6 utilises a multi-layer stainless steel cylinder head gasket. The gasket comprises four stainless steel
functional layers, and a stainless steel distance layer to maintain fitted thickness. A full embossment profile is
employed to seal the combustion gases and half embossments are used to provide a durable fluid seal. Sealing
characteristics are further enhanced by the application of a fluro-elastomer surface coating to all layers of the gasket.
Hydraulic Tappets
Self-adjusting, lightweight, hydraulic tappets are fitted on top of each valve and are operated directly by the camshaft.
The valve stem oil seals are moulded onto a metal base which also acts as the valve spring seat on the cylinder head.
Valves
The exhaust valves are of the carbon break type. A machined profile on the valve stem removes any build up of carbon
in the combustion chamber end of the valve guide. All valve seats are machined in three planes, improving valve to
seat sealing.
Camshaft Cover and Engine Cover Components
The camshaft cover and engine cover components are described below:
Acoustic Cover
A moulded plastic acoustic cover is fitted over the engine to absorb engine generated noise. Foam is bonded on the
inside surface of the acoustic cover and a rubber seal is fitted around the oil filler cap.
The acoustic cover is located on the engine by two rubber studs on the underside of the acoustic cover. A rubber
strap, at the rear of the engine, and two quick release fasteners, at the front of the acoustic cover, secure the acoustic
cover in position.
Resonators and part of the engine intake duct are integrated into the acoustic cover, and the engine air filter is
installed in a compartment below a lid secured with two Torx bolts.
In NAS markets, a metal foil heatshield is installed on the underside of the acoustic cover.
A rubber duct connects the engine intake duct in the acoustic cover to the RH inner wing. In all except NAS markets,
engine air is drawn from the space between the inner and outer wings. In NAS markets, a further duct is installed
between the inner and outer wings to draw engine air from the base of the A post.
Throttle Body Assembly
All markets except NAS
The throttle body is attached to the inlet manifold chamber and comes in one of two variants, with and without cruise
control. The housing of the throttle body incorporates ports for crankcase ventilation and the idle air control valve.
NAS markets
The throttle body is an electrically actuated unit controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM). The position of the
throttle plate is controlled by a DC motor and a return spring integrated into the throttle body. Two feedback
potentiometers supply throttle plate position signals to the ECM for closed loop control.
Four Torx bolts secure the throttle body to the inlet manifold chamber. A rubber seal, keyed to a groove in the inlet
manifold chamber, ensures the joint is air tight.
Inlet Manifold Chamber
The inlet manifold chamber is a sealed plastic assembly. The inlet manifold chamber combines plenum resonance for
good low speed torque, with variable length primary tracts for optimum mid and high speed torque.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 12-3-17
Page 67
ENGINE - K SERIES KV6
The throttle body assembly feeds into a 'Y' piece which separates into two secondary inlet pipes. The secondary pipes
feed into two main plenums, one for each bank of three cylinders. At the closed end of the plenums is a balance valve,
controlled by an electric actuator, that connects the two plenums together.
The variable intake system uses valves and actuators to vary the overall tract length of the inlet manifold chamber.
The aluminium alloy inlet manifolds are sealed to each cylinder head with gaskets and to the inlet manifold chamber
with 'O' rings and seals.

Operation
Lubrication Circuit
The lubrication system is of the full-flow filtration, force fed type.
Oil is drawn, via a strainer and pick-up pipe in the sump, through the bearing ladder and into a crankshaft driven oil
pump which has an integral pressure relief valve. The strainer in the pick-up pipe prevents any ingress of foreign
particles from passing through to the inlet side of the oil pump and damaging the oil pump and restricting oil drillings.
The oil pressure relief valve in the oil pump opens if the oil pressure becomes excessive and diverts oil back around
the pump.
Pressurised oil is pumped through a full-flow cartridge type oil filter, mounted on the oil pump housing. The lubrication
system is designed so that a higher proportion of oil flow is directed to the cylinder block main oil gallery while a lower
proportion of oil flow, (controlled by a restrictor in the oil filter housing), is directed to the engine oil cooler. The
remainder of the oil flow from the outlet side of the oil filter is combined with the return flow from the oil cooler before
being passed into the cylinder block main oil gallery.
The main oil gallery has drillings that direct the oil to the main bearings. Cross drillings in the crankshaft main bearings
carry the oil to the connecting rod big-end bearings.
The oil pressure switch is located at the outlet side of the oil filter housing to sense the oil pressure level before the
oil flow enters the main gallery in the engine block. A warning lamp in the instrument pack is illuminated if low oil
pressure is detected.
Oil at reduced pressure is directed to each cylinder bank via two restrictors in the cylinder block/cylinder head locating
dowels, one at the front on the LH bank and the other at the rear on the RH bank. Oil then passes through a drilling
in the cylinder head to the camshaft carrier, where it is directed via separate galleries to the camshaft bearings and
hydraulic tappet housings. Return oil from the cylinder head drains into the sump via the cylinder head bolt passages.
Crankcase Ventilation
A positive crankcase ventilation system is used to vent blow-by gas from the crankcase to the air intake system. The
blow-by gas passes through a gauze oil separator in the camshaft cover, and then through hoses into the throttle
housing and inlet manifold.

Description
General
The vehicle is fitted with the following control systems to reduce emissions released into the atmosphere:
lCrankcase emission control.
lExhaust gas recirculation.
lExhaust emission control.
CAUTION: In many countries it is against the law for a vehicle owner or an unauthorised dealer to modify or
tamper with emission control equipment. In some cases, the vehicle owner and/or the dealer may even be
liable for prosecution.
The emission control systems fitted to the vehicle are designed to keep the emissions within the legal limits, at the
time of manufacture, provided that the engine is correctly maintained and is in good mechanical condition.
Crankcase Emission Control
Crankcase emissions are vented into the turbocharger inlet duct via a depression limiter valve installed on the
camshaft cover. A dedicated bore in the cylinder block and cylinder head connect the crankcase to the inlet of the
depression limiter valve. The outlet of the depression limiter valve is connected to the turbocharger inlet duct by a
passageway integrated into the camshaft cover and a tube between the camshaft cover and the inlet duct.

EMISSION CONTROL - TD4
The housing of the depression limiter valve contains two chambers interconnected by an integral passageway.
One chamber contains an oil separator consisting of yarn wound onto a cylindrical cage and covered with a fibre
gauze sleeve. The cage is closed at one end and open at the other. The open end of the cage locates over one end
of the integral passageway in the housing. An 'O' ring seals the joint between the cage and the housing.
The second chamber contains a diaphragm valve and a spring. The diaphragm valve is installed in the cap of the
chamber and located, by the spring, over an outlet port into the passageway in the camshaft cover. When the cap is
installed the diaphragm valve forms a seal between the upper and lower parts of the chamber. A vent in the cap allows
ambient pressure into the upper part of the chamber, above the diaphragm valve.

9 Camshaft cover
The diaphragm valve is normally held open by the spring. With the engine running, blow-by gases are drawn from the
crankcase, through the depression limiting valve, by the depression in the turbocharger inlet duct. Any oil in the blowby gases is removed by the oil separator and drains back to the sump through the bore in the cylinder block and
cylinder head. The depression in the turbocharger inlet duct varies with engine speed and load. To limit the depression
in the crankcase, the diaphragm valve controls the flow of blow-by gases through the depression limiting valve.
Crankcase pressure is sensed on the underside of the diaphragm valve and, when crankcase pressure reduces to
the preset limit, ambient pressure acting on the top of the diaphragm valve overcomes the spring and moves the
diaphragm valve to close the outlet port. As the diaphragm valve closes, so blow-by gases begin to increase the
pressure in the crankcase again until the diaphragm valve moves to open the outlet port.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
During certain running conditions the EGR system directs exhaust gases into the inlet manifold to be used in the
combustion process. The principal effect of this is to reduce combustion temperatures, which in turn reduces Nitrous
Oxide (NOx) emissions.
17-1-4DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Page 76
EMISSION CONTROL - TD4
A vacuum operated EGR valve on the inlet manifold controls the flow of recirculated exhaust gases. The exhaust
gases are supplied to the EGR valve through an EGR pipe connected to the LH end of the exhaust manifold. On
automatic gearbox models, a cooler, cooled by the engine cooling system, is installed between front and rear sections
of the EGR pipe. From the EGR valve, the gases flow into the inlet manifold and the turbocharger inlet.
The EGR valve is controlled by an EGR solenoid, on the front of the cylinder block, which modulates a vacuum supply
from the brake servo vacuum pump. The EGR solenoid is controlled by the ECM. The ECM uses the input from the
air flow meter to monitor EGR operation, using the principle that an increase in EGR decreases the intake air flow.
Exhaust Emission Control
The engine management system provides accurately metered quantities of fuel to the combustion chambers to
ensure the most efficient use of fuel and to minimise the exhaust emissions. In European Union markets, to further
reduce the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons content of the exhaust gases, a catalytic converter is integrated into
the intermediate pipe of the exhaust system.
In the catalytic converter the exhaust gases are passed through honeycombed ceramic elements coated with a
special surface treatment called 'washcoat'. The washcoat increases the surface area of the ceramic elements by a
factor of approximately 7000. On top of the washcoat is a coating containing platinum, which is the active constituent
for converting harmful emissions into inert by-products. The platinum adds oxygen to the carbon monoxide and the
hydrocarbons in the exhaust gases, to convert them into carbon dioxide and water respectively.

EMISSION CONTROL - K SERIES 1.8
Description
General
The vehicle is fitted with the following control systems to reduce emissions released into the atmosphere:
CAUTION: In many countries it is against the law for a vehicle owner or an unauthorised dealer to modify or
tamper with emission control equipment. In some cases, the vehicle owner and/or the dealer may even be
liable for prosecution.
The emission control systems fitted to the vehicle are designed to keep the emissions within the legal limits, at the
time of manufacture, provided that the engine is correctly maintained and is in good mechanical condition.
Crankcase Emission Control System
While the engine is running, blow-by gases from the crankcase are mixed with inlet air and burned in the combustion
chambers.
The crankcase is vented via the oil drain passages in the cylinder block and cylinder head and two ports in the
camshaft cover. The larger port in the camshaft cover is connected to the throttle body, on the upstream side of the
throttle disc, by a plastic pipe and rubber elbow connections. The smaller port in the camshaft cover is connected to
the inlet manifold by a rubber hose. The smaller port incorporates a restrictor and a gauze oil separator to prevent oil
being drawn out of the camshaft cover.
When the engine is running with the throttle disc closed, the depression downstream of the throttle disc draws
crankcase gases into the inlet manifold through the smaller port in the camshaft cover. Clean air, from the upstream
side of the throttle disc, is drawn into the crankcase through the larger port in the camshaft cover to limit the
depression produced in the crankcase.
When the engine is running with the throttle disc wide open, the upstream and downstream sides of the throttle disc,
and thus the two ports in the camshaft cover, are subjected to similar, relatively weak, depression levels. Crankcase
gases are then drawn out of both ports in the camshaft cover, with the majority being drawn out of the unrestricted
larger port and into the throttle body.
At interim throttle disc positions the flow of the crankcase gases varies, between those produced at the closed and
wide open throttle disc positions, depending on the depression levels produced upstream and downstream of the
throttle disc.
Exhaust Emission Control
The engine management systems provide accurately metered quantities of fuel to the combustion chambers to
ensure the most efficient use of fuel and to minimise the exhaust emissions. In European Union markets, to reduce
the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons content of the exhaust gases, two catalytic converters are installed in the
exhaust system. A 'starter' catalytic converter is integrated into the exhaust manifold and a main catalytic converter
is integrated into the exhaust system front pipe.
In the catalytic converters the exhaust gases are passed through honeycombed ceramic elements coated with a
special surface treatment called 'washcoat'. The washcoat increases the surface area of the ceramic elements by a
factor of approximately 7000. On top of the washcoat is a coating containing the elements which are the active
constituents for converting harmful emissions into inert by-products. The active constituents consist of palladium and
platinum, which add oxygen to the carbon monoxide and the hydrocarbons in the exhaust gases, to convert them into
carbon dioxide and water respectively.
The correct operation of the catalytic converters is dependent upon close control of the oxygen content of the exhaust
gas. The quantity of oxygen in the exhaust gas is monitored by the Engine Control Module (ECM) using an input from
a Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) upstream of the starter catalytic converter. The ECM also monitors the condition of
the catalytic converters using an input from a HO2S downstream of the main catalytic converter.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION17-2-3
Page 81
EMISSION CONTROL - K SERIES 1.8
EVAP Control
The EVAP control system reduces the level of hydrocarbons released into the atmosphere by fuel vapour venting from
the fuel tank. The system comprises a two way valve, a vapour separator, an EVAP canister, a purge valve and
interconnecting vent pipes. The vent pipes are connected to the system components and the fuel tank by quick
release connectors. On the fuel tank, the vent lines are connected to three roll over valves. The roll over valves are
float valves that prevent fuel from entering the vent pipes due to fuel slosh or if the vehicle overturns.
Fuel vapour, generated in the tank as the fuel heats up, is stored in the tank until the pressure is sufficient to open the
outward venting side of the two-way valve. When the two-way valve opens, excess pressure is released through the
vapour separator and the EVAP canister to atmosphere. The vapour separator and the EVAP canister remove fuel
from the vapour and relatively fuel free air vents to atmosphere. When the fuel tank cools and vapour pressure
decreases below ambient pressure, the two-way valve opens and outside air is drawn through the EVAP canister and
vapour separator into the tank.
Some of the fuel removed from the vapour vented from the fuel tank is stored in the EVAP canister. Since there is a
limit to the volume of fuel that can be stored in the EVAP canister, when the engine is running fuel is purged from the
EVAP canister, through the purge valve, and burned in the engine.

). Air is allowed to flow back into the
fuel tank, as the pressure in the tank decreases, through a non return valve within the body of the two-way valve.
17-2-4DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Page 82
EMISSION CONTROL - K SERIES 1.8
Vapour Separator
The vapour separator is installed at the front of the RH rear wheel arch, behind the wheel arch liner. The vapour
separator prevents the charcoal in the EVAP canister being saturated with fuel, by condensing out some of the fuel
in the vapour vented from the fuel tank. Condensed fuel from the vapour separator drains back to the fuel tank through
the vent pipe.
EVAP Canister
1 Canister housing
2 Vapour separator connection
The EVAP canister is installed at the front of the RH rear wheel arch, behind the wheel arch liner. Charcoal in the
EVAP canister absorbs and stores fuel from the vapour vented from the fuel tank. When the engine is running, fuel is
purged from the EVAP canister by outside air being drawn through the charcoal and the outlet to the purge valve.
Purge Valve
The purge valve is installed on the LH suspension turret in the engine compartment, and connected to the EVAP
canister by a vent pipe installed on the underside of the vehicle, next to the fuel delivery pipe. A second vent pipe
connects the purge valve to the inlet manifold. The purge valve is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM) and
remains closed below a preset coolant temperature and engine speed, to protect engine tune and catalytic converter
performance. If the EVAP canister is purged during cold running or at idle, the additional enrichment of the fuel mixture
delays the catalytic converter light off time and causes erratic idle speed. When engine operating conditions are
suitable, the ECM opens the purge valve and the depression in the inlet manifold draws fuel vapour from the EVAP
canister.
CAUTION: In many countries it is against the law for a vehicle owner or an unauthorised dealer to modify or
tamper with emission control equipment. In some cases, the vehicle owner and/or the dealer may even be
liable for prosecution.
The emission control systems fitted to the vehicle are designed to keep the emissions within the legal limits, at the
time of manufacture, provided that the engine and the fuel system components are correctly maintained and in good
mechanical condition.
Crankcase Emission Control System
The crankcase is vented via the oil drain passages in the cylinder blocks and cylinder heads and two ports in each
camshaft cover. Plastic pipes connect the larger ports in the camshaft covers to either the throttle body (all except
NAS) or the intake duct (NAS), on the upstream side of the throttle disc. The smaller ports in the camshaft covers are
connected to the inlet manifold, downstream of the throttle body, also by plastic pipes. Each of the smaller ports
incorporate a restrictor and a gauze oil separator to prevent oil being drawn out of the camshaft covers with the blowby gases. Quick release locking collars and 'O' rings are used for all of the pipe connections with the camshaft covers,
throttle body and air intake duct.
When the engine is running with the throttle disc closed, the depression downstream of the throttle disc draws
crankcase gases into the inlet manifold through the smaller ports in the camshaft covers. Clean air, from the upstream
side of the throttle disc, is drawn into the crankcase through the larger ports in the camshaft covers to limit the
depression produced in the crankcase.
When the engine is running with the throttle disc wide open, the upstream and downstream sides of the throttle disc,
and thus the two ports in each camshaft cover, are subjected to similar, relatively weak, depression levels. Crankcase
gases are then drawn out of both ports in each camshaft cover, with the majority being drawn out of the unrestricted
larger ports and into the throttle body.
At interim throttle disc positions the flow of the crankcase gases varies, between those produced at the closed and
wide open throttle disc positions, depending on the depression levels produced upstream and downstream of the
throttle disc.
Exhaust Emission Control
The engine management systems provide accurately metered quantities of fuel to the combustion chambers to
ensure the most efficient use of fuel and to minimise the exhaust emissions. In some markets, to reduce the carbon
monoxide and hydrocarbons content of the exhaust gases, catalytic converters are installed in the exhaust system.
Where catalytic converters are fitted:
lIn all except NAS markets, a 'starter' catalytic converter is integrated into each exhaust manifold and a main
catalytic converter is integrated into the exhaust system front pipe.
lIn NAS markets, a catalytic converter is integrated into each downpipe close to the exhaust manifolds.
In the catalytic converters the exhaust gases are passed through honeycombed ceramic elements coated with a
special surface treatment called 'washcoat'. The washcoat increases the surface area of the ceramic elements by a
factor of approximately 7000. On top of the washcoat is a coating containing the elements which are the active
constituents for converting harmful emissions into inert by-products. The active constituents consist of platinum and
rhodium. Platinum adds oxygen to the carbon monoxide and the hydrocarbons in the exhaust gases, to convert them
into carbon dioxide and water respectively. The rhodium removes oxygen from the Nitrous Oxides (NOx) to convert
them into nitrogen.

EMISSION CONTROL - K SERIES KV6
The correct operation of the catalytic converters is dependent upon close control of the oxygen content of the exhaust
gas. The quantity of oxygen in the exhaust gas is monitored by the Engine Control Module (ECM) using an input from
the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) upstream of the catalytic converters. The ECM also monitors the condition of the
catalytic converters using an input from the HO2S downstream of the catalytic converters.
EVAP Control
The EVAP control system reduces the level of hydrocarbons released into the atmosphere by fuel vapour venting from
the fuel tank. On NAS models, a positive pressure leak detection function is incorporated to monitor the integrity of
the system. The EVAP control system comprises:
lA two way valve.
lA vapour separator.
lAn EVAP canister.
lA purge valve.
lA Diagnostic Module for Tank Leakage (DMTL) (NAS only).
lAn air filter (NAS only).
lInterconnecting vent pipes.
The EVAP control system is connected to the Onboard Refuelling Vapour Recovery (ORVR) valve (NAS only) and/
or the roll over valves in the fuel tank. The ORVR valve and the roll over valves are float valves that allow inward and
outward venting of the fuel tank, but prevent the escape of fuel into the vent pipes due to fuel slosh or if the vehicle
overturns. The ORVR valve is normally closed when the fuel tank is full and normally open at all other fuel levels. The
roll over valves are normally open at all fuel levels.
On all except NAS vehicles, venting occurs through the roll over valves and the two-way valve with changes of tank
pressure.
On NAS vehicles, when the fuel tank is less than full, venting is unrestricted through the ORVR valve. Only when the
fuel tank is full does venting occur, with changes of tank pressure, through the roll over valves and the two-way valve.
Vapour vented from the fuel tank passes through the EVAP control system to atmosphere. The EVAP canister
absorbs fuel from the vapour and relatively fuel free air vents to atmosphere. Since there is a limit to the storage
capacity of the EVAP canister, when the engine is running fuel is purged from the EVAP canister and burned in the
engine.
On NAS vehicles, to reduce the load on the EVAP canister during refuelling, a proportion of the air expelled from the
tank is recirculated through a pipe connected between the top of the vapour separator and the filler tube. The
recirculation flow is induced by fuel in the filler tube flowing past a restrictor installed in the recirculation pipe
connection on the filler tube. With the recirculation flow present, less fresh air enters the tank, which reduces the
volume of vapour generated and fuel deposited in the EVAP canister.
On NAS vehicles, the DMTL periodically checks the EVAP control system and fuel tank for leaks when the ignition is
switched off.

Two-way Valve
The two-way valve limits the pressure and depression in the fuel tank and, during refuelling, induces automatic cutoff in the refuelling nozzle when the fuel in the tank reaches the full level. The two-way valve is installed in the vent
pipe from the tank, next to the fuel pump assembly.
The two-way valve is a normally closed valve that opens, to release pressure from the fuel tank, at 18 to 50 mbar (0.26
2
and 0.73 lbf/in
). Air is allowed to flow back into the fuel tank, as the pressure in the tank decreases, through a non
return valve within the body of the two-way valve. The nominal opening pressure of the non return valve is 1 mbar
2
(0.015 lbf/in
).
During refuelling, if the fuel in the tank reaches the full level outward venting becomes restricted, which creates a back
pressure in the filler tube and automatically closes the refuelling nozzle. On all except NAS vehicles, the restriction is
caused by the fuel covering the outlet to the vent pipe connected to the top of the filler tube. On NAS vehicles, the
restriction is caused by the fuel closing the ORVR valve.
Vapour Separator
The vapour separator is installed at the front of the RH rear wheel arch, behind the wheel arch liner. The vapour
separator prevents the charcoal in the EVAP canister being saturated with fuel, by separating any liquid from the
vapour vented from the fuel tank. Separated fuel from the vapour separator drains back to the fuel tank through the
vent pipe.

EMISSION CONTROL - K SERIES KV6
EVAP Canister
The EVAP canister is installed at the front of the RH rear wheel arch, behind the wheel arch liner. Charcoal in the
EVAP canister absorbs and stores fuel from the vapour vented from the fuel tank. When the engine is running, fuel is
purged from the EVAP canister when the purge valve opens and clean air is drawn through the charcoal.
The purge valve is installed on the inlet manifold chamber, next to the throttle body, and connected to the EVAP
canister by a vent pipe installed on the underside of the vehicle, next to the fuel delivery pipe.
The purge valve is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM) and remains closed below a preset coolant
temperature and engine speed, to protect engine tune and catalytic converter performance. When engine operating
conditions are suitable, the ECM opens the purge valve and the depression in the inlet manifold draws fuel vapour
from the EVAP canister.

DMTL (NAS Only)
The DMTL is connected to the atmospheric vent of the charcoal canister and incorporates an electric air pump, a
normally open change-over valve and a 0.5 mm (0.020 in) reference orifice. The DMTL operates only after the ignition
is switched off and is controlled by the ECM, which also monitors the air pump and the change-over valve for faults.
Air Filter (NAS Only)
The air filter prevents dust being drawn into the EVAP system. A breather tube connects the DMTL to the air filter,
which is located above the RH rear wheelarch liner, immediately below the fuel filler cap.
Leak Diagnostic Operation (NAS Only)
To check the fuel tank and EVAP system for leaks, the ECM operates the air pump in the DMTL and monitors the
current draw. Initially, the ECM establishes a reference current by pumping air through the reference orifice and back
to atmosphere. Having established a reference current, the ECM then closes the change-over valve, which seals the
EVAP system (the purge valve already being closed), and diverts the output from the air pump around the reference
orifice and into the EVAP system.
When the change-over valve is first closed, the load on the pump drops to zero, then, provided there are no leaks, the
pump begins to pressurise the EVAP system and the load and current draw of the pump begin to increase. By
monitoring the rate and level of current increase, the ECM can determine if there is a leak in the system.
During the leak check, the ECM energises a heating element in the air pump to prevent condensation forming and
producing an incorrect current reading.
Leaks are classified as minor (equivalent to hole diameter of 0.5 to 1.0 mm (0.02 to 0.04 in) or major (equivalent to
hole diameter of 1.0 mm (0.04 in) or greater).
The ECM conducts a check for major leaks each time the ignition is switched off, provided the following baseline
conditions are met:
lThe ECM is in power down mode more than 3 seconds after the ignition is switched off.
lThe vehicle speed is zero.
lThe engine speed is zero.
lThe pressure altitude (derived from engine load calculations) is below 1830 m (6000 ft).
lThe engine coolant temperature is more than 2.25
lThe ambient temperature is between 0 and 40
lThe EVAP canister load factor is 3 or less (the load factor is a measure, between –1 and +30, of the amount of
fuel vapour stored in the EVAP canister, where –1 is 0% fuel vapour, 0 is stoichiometric fuel vapour level and
+30 is 100% saturated with fuel vapour).
lThe fuel tank level is valid and between 15 and 85 % of the nominal capacity.
lThe engine running time during the previous ignition on cycle was more than 20 minutes.
lBattery voltage is between 10.94 and 14.52 volts.
lThe last engine off time was more than 150 minutes.
lNo errors with the following functions or components:
lRoad speed.
lEVAP system load monitoring.
lEngine coolant temperature.
lAmbient air temperature.
lFuel level.
lPurge valve.
lDMTL.
A check for minor leaks is only conducted after every 14th major leak check or after refuelling is detected.
°C (36 °F).
°C (32 and 104 °F).
At the end of the leak check the ECM stops the air pump and opens the change-over valve.
If the fuel filler cap is opened or refuelling is detected during the leak check, by a sudden drop in the current draw or
rise in fuel level, the leak check is aborted.
If a leak is detected during the check, the ECM stores an appropriate fault code in memory. If a leak is detected on
two consecutive checks, the ECM illuminates the MIL on the next drive cycle.
The duration of the leak check is between 40 and 270 seconds, depending on results and the level of fuel in the tank.
A leak test can be invoked using TestBook/T4, which overrides the baseline conditions requirement.
