Introduction

Introduction to the Vauxhall Cavalier The front-wheel-drive (fwd) Cavalier was introduced in August 1981 and replaced the earlier range of rear-wheel-drive Cavalier models. The bodywork was also revised to distinguish it from the earlier models and was initially available in a two or four-door Saloon version, or a five-door Hatchback. The five-door Estate variant was introduced

in 1983. The engine and transmission on all models is transversely mounted. Initially available with a 1.3,1.6 or 1.8 litre engine, the 2.0 version was

added to the range for the 1987 model year. A 4 or 5-speed manual transmission, or a 3-speed automatic transmission will be fitted. The 2-door Convertible variant was introduced in October 1985. Various levels of trim and equipment are available depending upon the model selected from the range. These vehicles should present few problems for the home mechanic. They are of straightforward construction with good access to all service points.

We take great pride in the accuracy of information given in this

manual, but vehicle manufacturers make alterations and design changes during the production run of a particular vehicle of which they

do not inform us. No liability can be accepted by the authors or publishers for loss, damage or injury caused by errors in, or omissions from, the information given.

Safety First! Working on your car can be dangerous. This page shows just some of the potential risks and hazards, with the aim of creating a safety-conscious attitude.

General hazards

Fume or gas intoxication

Scalding e Don’t remove the radiator or expansion tank cap while the engine is hot. e Engine oil, automatic transmission fluid or power steering fluid may also be dangerously hot if the engine has recently been running.

Burning e Beware of burns from the exhaust system and from any part of the engine. Brake discs and drums can also be extremely hot

immediately after use.

Crushing

e Exhaust fumes are poisonous; they often contain carbon monoxide, which is rapidly fatal if inhaled. Never run the engine ina confined space such as a garage with the doors shut. e Fuel vapour is also * poisonous, as are the vapours from some cleaning solvents and paint thinners.

Poisonous or irritant substances

Fire e Fuel is highly flammable; fuel vapour is ’ explosive. ¢ Don’t let fuel spill onto a hot engine. e Do not smoke or allow naked lights (including pilot lights) anywhere near a vehicle being worked on. Also beware of creating sparks (electrically or by use of calc e Fuel vapour is heavier than air, so don’t work on the fuel system with the vehicle over an inspection pit. e Another cause of fire is an electrical overload or short-circuit. Take care when repairing or modifying the vehicle wiring. e Keep a fire extinguisher handy, of a type suitable for use on fuel and electrical fires.

seek medical advice. e Prolonged contact with used engine oil can cause skin cancer. Wear gloves or use a barrier cream if necessary. Change out of oilsoaked clothes and do not keep oily rags in your pocket. e Air conditioning refrigerant forms a poisonous gas if exposed to a naked flame (including a cigarette). It can also cause skin burns on contact.

@ Ignition HT

Special hazards Hydrofluoric acid e This extremely corrosive acid is formed when certain types of synthetic rubber, found in some O-rings, oil seals, fuel hoses etc, are exposed to temperatures above 400°C. The rubber changes into a charred or sticky substance containing the acid. Once formed, the acid remains dangerous for years. If it gets onto the skin, it may be necessary to amputate the limb concerned. e When dealing with a vehicle which has suffered a fire, or with components salvaged from such a vehicle, wear protective gloves and discard them after use.

The battery e Batteries contain sulphuric acid, which

attacks clothing, eyes and skin. Take care when topping-up or carrying the battery. e The hydrogen gas given off by the battery is highly explosive. Never cause a spark or allow a naked light nearby. Be careful when connecting and disconnecting battery chargers orjump leads.

Air bags e Air bags can cause injury if they go off accidentally. Take care when removing the steering wheel and/or facia. Special storage instructions may apply.

Diesel injection equipment © Diesel injection pumps supply fuel at very high pressure. Take care when working on the fuel injectors and fuel pipes.

Asbestos e Asbestos dust can cause cancer if inhaled or swallowed. Asbestos may be found in gaskets and in brake and clutch linings. When dealing with such components it is safest to assume that they contain asbestos.

Roadside repairs

Jacking and vehicle support The jack supplied with the vehicle tool kit should only be used for changing the roadwheels - see “Wheel changing” later in this Section. When carrying out any other kind of work, raise the vehicle using a hydraulic jack, and always supplement the jack with axle stands positioned under the vehicle jacking points (see illustration). When using a hydraulic jack or axle stands, always position the jack head or axle stand

head under one of the relevant jacking points. To raise the front of the vehicle, position the jack with an interposed block of wood underneath the front section of the sill. Do not jack the vehicle under the sump or any of the steering or suspension components. To raise the rear of the vehicle, position the jack head underneath the rear section of the sill (see illustration). Do not attempt to raise the vehicle with the jack positioned underneath

the suspension components. The jack supplied with the vehicle, locates in the jacking points in the ridge on the underside of the sill. Ensure that the jack head is correctly engaged before attempting to raise the vehicle. Never work under, around, or near a raised

vehicle, unless it is adequately supported in at least two places.

Towing Towing eyes are fitted to the front and rear of the vehicle for attachment of a tow rope. The front towing eye is accessed through a slot in the bumper and the rear towing eye is located underneath the body (see illustrations). Always turn the ignition key to

position | when the vehicle is being towed, so that the steering lock is released, ahd that the direction indicator and brake lights will work.

Before being towed, release the handbrake and select neutral on the transmission. Note that greater-than-usual pedal pressure will be required to operate the brakes, since the vacuum servo unit is only operational with the engine running. Similarly, on models with power steering, greater-than-usual steering effort will be required.

On models with an automatic transmission to prevent the transmission being damaged, the vehicle should be towed with its front wheels off the ground. If the vehicle is being towed with its front wheels on the ground the car must not be towed for more than 70 miles (100 km) and should never be towed at speeds in excess of 50 mph (80 kmh).

Wheel changing The spare wheel, jack and wheel brace are located in the luggage compartment (see illustration). To change a wheel, remove the spare wheel, jack and wheel brace and proceed as follows. Apply the handbrake, and place chocks at the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite the one to be changed. Select first or reverse gear and make sure that the vehicle

is located on firm, level ground. Prise off, and remove, the wheel trim (if applicable). Slightly loosen the wheel bolts with the brace provided. Locate the jack head in the jacking point nearest to the wheel to be changed, and raise the jack by turning the handle (see illustration). On certain models, it may be necessary to unclip access covers to reveal the jacking points. When the wheel is clear of the ground, remove the bolts and lift off the

wheel. Fit the spare wheel and moderately tighten the bolts. Lower the vehicle, and then tighten the bolts fully in a diagonal sequence. Refit the wheel trim, where applicable. If possible, check the tyre pressure on the spare wheel. Remove the chocks and stow the jack, tools and the damaged wheel in the luggage compartment. Have the damaged tyre or wheel repaired, or renew it, as soon as possible.

Roadside repairs

Identifying leaks Puddles on the garage floor or drive, or obvious wetness under the bonnet or underneath the car, suggest a leak that needs investigating. It can sometimes be difficult to decide where the leak is coming from, especially if the engine bay is very dirty already. Leaking oil or fluid can also be blown rearwards by the passage of air under the car, giving a false impression of where the problem lies.

AN

Warning: Most automotive oils and fluids are poisonous. Wash them off skin, and change out of contaminated clothing, without delay.

The smell of a fluid leaking a Un from the car may provide a HiNT clue to what's leaking. Some fluids are distictively coloured. it may help to clean the car carefully and to park it over some clean paper overnight as an aid to locating the source of the leak._ Remember that some leaks may only occur while the engine is running.

Roadside repairs Booster battery (jump) starting When jump-starting a car using a booster battery, observe the following precautions:

C) Make sure that the booster battery is the same voltage as the discharged one in the vehicle.

A) Before connecting the booster battery, make sure that the ignition is switched off.

D) If the battery is being jump-started from the battery in another vehicle, the two vehcles MUST NOT TOUCH each other.

B) Ensure that all electrical equipment (lights, heater, wipers, etc) is switched off.

E) Make sure that the transmission is in neutral (or PARK, in the case of automatic transmission).

Ss Jump starting will get you out of trouble, but you must correct whatever made the battery go

flat in the first place. There are three possibilities: The battery has been drained by repeated attempts to start, or by

leaving the lights on.

The charging system is not working properly (alternator drivebelt slack or broken, alternator wiring fault or alternator itself faulty). The battery itself is at fault (electrolyte low, or battery worn out).

Weekly checks

Introduction There are some very simple checks which need only take a few minutes to carry out, but which could save you a lot of inconvenience and expense.

These "Weekly checks" require no great skill or special tools, and the small amount of time they take to perform could prove to be very well spent, for example;

Keeping an eye on tyre condition and pressures, will not only help to stop them wearing out prematurely, but could also save your life.

[] Many breakdowns are caused by electrical problems. Battery-related faults are particularly common, and a quick check on a regular basis will often prevent the majority of these.

CL If your car develops a brake fluid leak, the first time you might know about it is when your brakes don't work properly. Checking the level regularly will give advance warning of this kind of problem. LJ If the oil or coolant levels run low, the cost of repairing any engine damage will be far greater than fixing the leak, for example.

Engine oil level Before you start Vv Make sure that your car is on level ground. vV Check the oil level before the car is driven, or at least 5 minutes after the engine has been switched off.

FIN

a1 /f the oil is checked

immediately after driving the vehicle, some of the oil will remain in the upper engine components, resulting in an inaccurate reading on the dipstick!

1 The dipstick top is often brightly coloured for easy identification (see “Underbonnet check points” on page 0e10 for the exact location). Withdraw the dipstick.

The correct oil

Using a clean rag or paper towel remove all oil from the dipstick. Insert the clean dipstick into the tube as far as it will go, then withdraw it again.

Modern engines place great demands on their oil. It is very important that the correct oil for your car is used (See “Lubricants and Fluids”).

Car Care @ If you have to add oil frequently, you should check whether you have any oil leaks. Place some clean paper under the car overnight, and check for stains in the morning. If there are no leaks, the engine may be burning oil (see “Fault Finding”).

@ Always maintain the level between the upper and lower dipstick marks (see photo 3). If the level is too low severe engine damage may occur. Oil seal failure may result if the engine is overfilled by adding too much oil.

“ Note the oil level on the end of the dipstick, which should be between the upper (“MAX”) mark and lower (“MIN”) mark. Approximately 1.0 litre of oil will raise the level from the lower mark to the upper mark.

—

mG

Oil is added through the filler cap. Unscrew the cap and top-up the level; a funnel may help to reduce spillage . Add the oil slowly, checking the level on the dipstick frequently. Avoid overfilling (see “Car Care”).

Coolant level Warning: DO NOT attempt to remove the expansion tank pressure cap when the engine is hot, as there is a very great risk of scalding. Do not leave open containers of coolant about, as it is poisonous.

'

Car Care @ With a sealed-type cooling system, adding coolant should not be necessary on a regular basis. lf frequent topping-up is required, it is likely there is a leak. Check the radiator, all hoses and joint faces for signs of staining or wetness, and rectify as necessary.

@ It is important that antifreeze is used in the cooling system all year round, not just during the winter months. Don’t top-up with water

alone, as the antifreeze diluted.

3

The coolant level varies with the temperature of the engine. When the engine is cold, the coolant level should be as shown. When the engine is hot, the level may rise slightly above the “COLD” mark.

If topping-up is necessary, wait until the engine is cold. Slowly turn the expansion tank cap anti-clockwise to relieve the system pressure. Once any pressure is released, turn the cap anti-clockwise unti it can be lifted off.

Add a mixture of water and antifreeze through the expansion tank filler neck until the coolant reaches the “COLD” level mark. Refit the cap, turning it clockwise as far as it will go until it is secure.

The “MAX” and “MIN” marks are indicated on the side of the reservoir. The fluid level must be kept between the marks.

If topping-up is necessary, first wipe the area around the filler cap with a clean rag before removing the cap.

When adding fluid, it’s a good idea to inspect the reservoir. The system should be drained and refilled if dirt is seen in the fluid (see Chapter 9 for details).

4 Carefully add fluid avoiding spilling it on surrounding paintwork. Use only the specified hydraulic fluid; mixing different types of fluid can cause damage to the system. After filling to the correct level, refit

1 If a single indicator light, brake light or headlight has failed it is likely that a bulb has blown and will need to be replaced. Refer to Chapter 12 for details.

If more than one indicator light or headlight has failed it is likely that either a fuse has blown or that there is a fault in the circuit (refer to “Electrical fault-finding” in Chapter 12). The fuses are mounted in a panel located at the lower right-hand corner of the facia under a removable cover.

If both brake lights have failed, it is possible that the brake light switch above the brake pedal needs adjusting. This simple operation is described in Chapter 9.

Battery Caution: Before carrying out any work on the vehicle battery, read the precautions given in “Safety first” at the start of this manual. V Make sure that the battery tray is in good condition, and that the clamp is tight. Corrosion on the tray, retaining clamp and the battery itself can be removed with a solution of water and baking soda. Thoroughly rinse all cleaned areas with water. Any metal parts damaged by corrosion should be Covered with a zinc-based primer, then painted.

The battery is located on the left-hand side of the engine compartment. The exterior of the battery should be inspected periodically for damage such as a cracked case or cover.

Check the tightness of battery clamps (A) to ensure good electrical connections. You should not be able to move them. Also check each cable (B) for cracks and frayed conductors.

If corrosion (white, fluffy deposits) is evident, remove the cables from the battery terminals, clean them with a small wire brush, then refit them. Accessory stores sell a useful tool for cleaning the battery post ...

Wiper blades

Check the condition of the wiper blades;

if they are cracked or show any signs of deterioration, or if the glass swept area is smeared, renew them. For maximum clarity of vision, wiper blades should be renewed annually, as a matter of course.

To remove a wiper blade, pull the arm fully away from the glass until it locks. Swivel the blade through 90°, press the locking tab(s) with your fingers, and slide the blade out of the arm's hooked end. On refitting, ensure that the blade locks securely into the arm.

Weekly checks

Tyre condition and pressure

braking and acceleration, or fast cornering, will all produce more rapid tyre wear. As a general rule, the front tyres wear out faster than the rears. Interchanging the tyres from front to rear (“rotating” the tyres) may result in more even wear. However, if this is completely effective, you may have the expense of replacing all four tyres at once! Remove any nails or stones embedded in the

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. Regularly check the tyres for damage in the form of cuts or bulges, especially in the sidewalls. Periodically remove the wheels, and clean any dirt or mud from the inside and outside surfaces. Examine the wheel rims for signs of rusting, corrosion or other damage. Light alloy wheels are easily damaged by “kerbing” whilst parking; steel wheels may also become dented or buckled. A new wheel

New tyres should be balanced when they are fitted, but it may become necessary to rebalance them as they wear, or if the balance weights fitted to the wheel rim should fall off. Unbalanced tyres will wear more quickly, as will the steering and suspension components. Wheel imbalance is normally signified by vibration, particularly at a certain speed (typically around 50 mph). If this vibration is felt only through the:steering, then it is likely that just the front wheels need balancing. If, however, the vibration is felt through the whole car, the rear wheels could be out of

The original tyres have tread wear safety bands (B), which will appear when the tread depth reaches approximately 1.6 mm. The band positions are indicated by a triangular mark on the tyre sidewall (A).

Alternatively tread wear can be monitored with a simple, inexpensive device Known as a tread depth indicator gauge.

Check the tyre pressures regularly with the tyres cold. Do not adjust the tyre pressures immediately after the vehicle has been used, or an inaccurate setting will result. Tyre pressures are shown on the next page.

Shoulder Wear

Centre Wear

Uneven

Underinflation (wear on both sides) Under-inflation will cause overheating of the tyre, because the tyre will flex too much, and the tread will not sit correctly on the road surface. This will cause a loss of grip and excessive wear, not to mention the danger of sudden tyre failure due to heat build-up. Check and adjust pressures Incorrect wheel camber (wear on one side) Repair or renew suspension parts Hard cornering Reduce speed!

Overinflation

4 Tyre tread wear patterns

Over-inflation will cause

rapid wear of the

centre part of the tyre tread, coupled with reduced grip, harsher ride, and the danger of shock damage occurring in the tyre casing. Check and adjust pressures If you sometimes have to inflate your car’s tyres to the higher pressures specified for maximum load or sustained high speed, don’t forget to reduce the pressures to normal afterwards.

Wear

Front tyres may wear unevenly as a result of wheel misalignment. Most tyre dealers and garages can check and adjust the wheel alignment (or "tracking") for a modest charge.

Incorrect camber or castor Repair or renew suspension parts Malfunctioning suspension Repair or renew suspension parts Unbalanced wheel Balance tyres Incorrect toe setting Adjust front wheel alignment Note: The feathered edge of the tread which typifies toe wear is best checked by feel.

1 General information Drive is transmitted from the differential to the front wheels by means of two solid steel driveshafts of unequal length. The right-hand driveshaft is longer than the/eft-hand due to

the position of the transmission. Both driveshafts are splined at their outer ends to accept the wheel hubs and are threaded so that each hub can be fastened by a large nut. The inner end of each driveshaft is splined to accept the differential sun gear. Constant velocity (CV) joints are fitted to each end of the driveshafts to ensure that the smooth and efficient transmission of drive at all the angles possible as the roadwheels move up and down with the suspension, and _as they turn from side to side under steering. Both inner and outer constant velocity joints are of the ball-and-cage type.

1 Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely. 2 Remove the front roadwheel. 3 Extract the split pin from the castellated nut or nut lock at the end of the driveshaft. Unscrew the nut. This nut is very tight and will require the use of a long knuckle bar to release it. To prevent the driveshaft turning, have an assistant apply the brake pedal or bolt a bar to two of the wheel bolt holes as shown

(see

illustration). There is no need to remove the brake caliper. 4 Disconnect the anti-roll bar from the suspension lower control arm. 5 Disconnect the suspension

2.7 Driveshaft released from hub carrier

one end will serve as a substitute. Drive the tool into the gap between the joint and casing to release the shaft snap-ring from the differential. Be prepared for some loss of oil and plug the hole (even with a piece of rag) to prevent loss of oil and entry of dirt (see illustrations). 7 It should now be possible to push the driveshaft out of the hub using finger pressure. If it is not, use a hub puller (see illustration). 8 When removing the left-hand driveshaft, it may be found difficult to engage a suitable tool to release it from the transmission. In this case, apply a long steel rod to the edge of the joint and drive it out.

9 On models produced after October 1982, shafts are fitted to 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 models with automatic transmission which incorporate a modified inboard joint (see illustration). This type of joint does not incorporate a stop to restrict the sliding travel within the joint. Great care must therefore be taken when removing or handling this type of driveshaft not to pull on the shaft, or the joint members will become separated and the complete shaft ruined. 10 On 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 models with manual transmission, the longer right-hand driveshaft has a two-part weight fitted to act as a torsional vibration damper. If this is removed for any reason, it is important that it is refitted so that the distance between the inner end of the outer joint gaiter and the outer face of the weight is 260 mm (10.24 in).

11 Do not move the vehicle on its wheels with one or both driveshafts removed from their hubs. If this precaution is not observed, the

front wheel bearings may be damaged. 12 The

driveshaft-to-hub

nut

should

be

renewed every time it is disturbed.

Refitting 13 Before refitting a driveshaft, make sure that the contact surfaces of the shaft joint and hub bearing are absolutely clean. Apply some grease to the shaft splines and insert into the hub carrier. Screw on the shaft nut finger tight. Fit a new snap-ring to the inboard end of the driveshaft (see illustrations). 14 Insert the inboard end of the driveshaft into, the transmission as far as it will go (see illustration). 15 Now apply a screwdriver to the weld bead of the inboard joint, not the metal cover, and drive the driveshaft into the differential until the retaining snap-ring engages positively. Pull on the driveshaft to check the engagement (see

illustration).

16 Reconnect the suspension arm and the anti-roll bar as described in Chapter 10 and tighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.

7 Fit new gaiter retaining clips. There are many suitable types available, but those used as original equipment will require the use of special pliers to tighten them.

xw eS

1 With the driveshaft removed from the vehicle as described in the preceding Section, remove the retaining clips and slide the gaiter from the joint (see illustration). 2 Expand the retaining circlip and remove the joint from the splines of the driveshaft. the 3 Slide the defective gaiter from driveshaft. 4 Clean away the old grease from the joint and repack liberally with the specified grease. If excessively worn or damaged, a driveshaft joint must be renewed as a unit (Section 4).

4 Driveshaft joint - renewal

w

1A worn driveshaft joint cannot be overhauled, only renewed as a complete assembly. Remove the driveshaft (Section 2). 2 Release the securing band and slide the gaiter off the worn joint. 3 Expand the circlip which secures the joint to the driveshaft (see illustration). 4 Using a plastic-faced hammer, tap the joint from the driveshaft (see illustration). 5 Tap on the new joint until the securing circlip engages in its groove. 6 Repack the joint with the specified grease. 7 Refit the gaiter as described in the preceding Section. 8 Fit the driveshaft to the vehicle.

5 Driveshaft overhaul - general information 1 If any of the checks described in Chapter 1 reveal wear in any driveshaft joint, first remove the roadwheel trim or centre cap (as appropriate). 2 If the split pin is in position, the driveshaft

nut should be correctly tightened. If in doubt remove the split pin then slacken the nut and tighten it through all the stages listed in the Specifications at the start of this Chapter. Once tightened, secure the nut in position with a new split pin then refit the centre cap or trim. Repeat this check on the remaining driveshaft nut.

3 Road test the vehicle and listen for a metallic clicking from the front as the vehicle is driven slowly in a circle on full lock. If a clicking noise is heard this indicates wear in the outer constant velocity joint. This means that the joint must be renewed; reconditioning is not possible. 4 If vibration, consistent with road speed, is felt through the car when accelerating, there is a possibility of wear in the inner constant velocity joints. 5 To check the joints for wear, remove the driveshafts, then dismantle them as described in Sections 3 and 4; if any wear or free play is found, the affected joint must be renewed.
