oe4 INtroduction The Renault Clio range covered by this manual was first introduced in France in May 1990, and to the UK in March 1991, to replace the popular Renault 5 range of cars. This manual covers models fitted with petrol engines, but other models in the range were available with Diesel engines. The Clio range was produced with 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.7, and 1.8 litre single overhead camshaft (SOHC) types, and a 1.8 litre double overhead camshaft (DOHC) type, which is fitted to the performance-

orientated 16-valve model. Apart from the 1.1 litre unit, all of the engines available in the UK used fuel-injection, although carburettor engines were available in other markets. All the engines are of a well-proven design and, provided regular maintenance is carried out, are unlikely to give trouble. The Clio was available in 3- and 5-door Hatchback and 3-door Van

Fully-independent front suspension is fitted, with the components

attached to a subframe assembly, and the rear suspension is semiindependent, with trailing arms and torsion bars. Four- and five-speed manual gearboxes, and three- and four-speed automatic transmissions were available, although the three-speed automatic transmission was not available in the UK. The four-speed automatic transmission is electronically-controlled. A wide range of standard and optional equipment is available within the Clio range to suit most tastes, including an anti-lock braking system and driver’s airbag. The Clio is conventional in design, and the DIY mechanic should find most servicing work straightforward.

body styles, with a wide range of fittings and interior trim depending on the model specification. The range underwent a minor cosmetic facelift in March 1994, and these revised models are known as “Phase 2” models. The range underwent a more extensive facelift in May 1996 (“Phase 3”), when a number of mechanical improvements were made.

We hope the book will help you to get the maximum enjoyment from your car. By carrying out routine maintenance as described you will ensure your car’s reliability and preserve its resale value.

The aim of this manual is to help you get the best value from your vehicle. It can do so in several ways. It can help you decide what work must be done (even should you choose to get it done by a garage), provide information on routine maintenance and servicing, and give a logical course of action and diagnosis when random faults occur. However, it is hoped that you will use the manual by tackling the work yourself. On simpler jobs, it may even be quicker than booking the car into a garage and going there twice, to leave and collect it. Perhaps most important, a lot of money can be saved by avoiding the costs a garage must charge to cover its labour and overheads. The manual has drawings and descriptions to show the function of the various components, so that their layout can be understood. Then the tasks are described and photographed in a clear step-by-step

sequence. References to the ‘left’ or ‘right’ are in the sense of a person in the driver's seat, facing forward.

Certain other illustrations are the copyright of Renault (UK) Limited, and are used with their permission. Thanks are also due to Draper Tools Limited, who provided some of the workshop tools, to John and Sally Brooks for the use of their car, and to all those people at Sparkford who helped in the production of this manual. Technical authors who contributed to this project include Andy Legg and Mark Coombs. 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 any errors in, or omissions from, the information given.

Safety first! os 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 Scalding

;

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

Burning ¢ 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 Mains voltage is also dangerous. Make sure that any mains-operated equipment is correctly earthed. Mains power points should be protected by a residual current device

(RCD) circuit breaker.

Fume or gas intoxication ° 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

e When working under or near a raised vehicle, always ' supplement the

under a car which is only supported by a jack. ® Take care if loosening or tightening hightorque nuts when the vehicle is on stands. Initial loosening and final tightening should be done with the wheels on the ground.

e Avoid skin contact with battery acid and with any fuel, fluid or lubricant, especially antifreeze, brake hydraulic fluid and Diesel fuel. Don’t syphon them by mouth. If such a substance is swallowed or gets into the eyes, 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.

Fire

Asbestos

¢ Fuel is highly flammable; fuel vapour is explosive. * Don’t let fuel spill onto a hot engine. © 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 tools). e Fuel vapour is heavier than air, so don’t

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.

dangerous,

especially to: Reale people withheartt 7 problems or a oe pacemaker. Don’t ~*~ work on or near the ignition system with the engine running or the ignition switched on.

Mato

Special hazards Hydrofluoric acid ¢ 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. ¢ 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 or jump 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. Warning: Never expose the hands, © face or any other part of the body to injector spray; the fuel can penetrate the skin with potentially fatal results,

Remember... i ate) ¢ Do use eye protection when using power tools, and when working under the vehicle.

e Do wear gloves or use barrier cream to protect your hands when necessary. e Do get someone to check periodically that all is well when working alone on the vehicle. ¢ Do keep loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of moving mechanical parts. e Do remove rings, wristwatch etc, before working on the vehicle — especially the

electrical system. © Do ensure that any lifting or jacking | equipment has a safe working load rating adequate for the job.

DON’T ¢ Don’t attempt to lift a heavy component which may be beyond your capability — get assistance.

¢ Don’t rush to finish a job, or take unverified short cuts.

¢ Don’t use ill-fitting tools which may slip and cause injury.

* Don’t leave tools or parts lying around where someone can trip over them. Mop up oil and fuel spills at once. ¢ Don't allow children or pets to play in or near a vehicle being worked on.

oe Roadside repairs

e

The following pages are intended to help in dealing with common roadside emergencies and breakdowns. You will find more detailed fault finding information at the back of the manual, and repair information in the main chapters.

If your car won’t,] start and the starter motor doesn’tb] turn

If your car won'tJ start even though the starter motor turns as normal

If it's a model with automatic transmission, make sure the selector is in ‘P’ or ‘N’. [|] Open the bonnet and make sure that the battery terminals are clean and tight. L] Switch on the headlights and try to start the engine. If the headlights go very dim when you're trying to start, the battery is probably flat. Get out of trouble by jump starting (see next page) using a friend’s car.

L] Is there fuel in the tank? (] Is there moisture on electrical components under the bonnet? Switch off the ignition, then wipe off any obvious dampness with a dry cloth. Spray a water-repellent aerosol product (WD-40 or equivalent) on ignition and fuel system electrical connectors like those shown in the photos. Pay special attention to the ignition coil wiring connector and HT leads.

e

Check the condition and security of the battery connections. ~

ha

Check that the spark plug HT leads are securely connected by pushing them onto the ignition coil or DIS module (as applicable).

Check that the ignition coil or DIS module (as applicable) wiring plug is secure.

D Check that the fuel injector wiring harness connector is secure (fuel injection models).

nod

Check that electrical connections are secure (with the ignition switched off) and spray them with a water dispersant spray like WD40 if you suspect a problem due to damp :

Check that the fuel cut-off switch has not been activated (fuel injection models).

DO NOT attempt to . the expansion tank cap when the engine 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 will become too diluted.

The coolant level varies with the temperature of the engine. The level should be checked in the expansion tank, which is located at the left-hand rear corner of the engine compartment. The expansion tank has “MAXI” and “MINI” level markings. When the engine is cold, the level should be between the two marks. When the engine is hot, the level may rise slightly above the “MAXI” mark.

If Geoie up is necessary, wat until the engine is cold. Slowly unscrew and remove the expansion tank cap to release any pressure in the system. Add a mixture of water and antifreeze to the expansion tank, until the coolant is up to the “MAX” mark. Refit the cap, turning it clockwise. as far as it will go until it is secure. Re-check that the cap is securely tightened once the engine is warm.

The “MAX” and “MIN” marks are indicated on the side of the reservoir, which is located at the right-hand rear corner of the engine compartment. The fluid level must be kept between these two marks (make sure that the car is parked on level ground when making the check).

If topping-up is necessary, first wipe the area around the filler cap with a clean rag, then hold the fluid level sensor wiring plug as the cap is unscrewed. 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).

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 and/or a loss of braking effectiveness. Bear in mind that the level in the reservoir will rise slightly when the cap/float assembly is refitted. After filling to the correct level, refit the cap securely. Wipe off any spilt fluid.

When checking the fluid level it is a good idea to check the operation of the low fluid level warning light. Switch on the ignition

Before you start @ Cleanliness is of great importance when dealing with the braking system, so take care to clean around the reservoir cap before topping-up. Use only clean brake fluid.

Safety First! @ If the reservoir requires repeated toppingup this is an indication of a fluid leak somewhere in the system, which should be investigated immediately. @ If a leak is suspected, the car should not be driven until the braking system has been checked.

Wee steering fluid reservoir varies from model to model. a) On E-type engine models not equipped with air conditioning, the reservoir is an integral part of the pump assembly, and is mounted on the front right-hand corner of the cylinder head. b) On F3P engine models equipped with air conditioning, the reservoir is an integral part of the electric pump assembly, and is

On E-type engine models not equipped with air conditioning, wipe the area around the reservoir filler cap, then unscrew the cap and withdraw it from the fluid reservoir. Wipe the dipstick clean, then insert it into the reservoir and withdraw it and check the fluid level. The fluid should be between the marks (“A” and “B”) on the dipstick. If not, top-up to the higher mark using the specified

type of fluid, then refit the reservoir cap, tightening it securely.

situated by the side of the battery. c) On all other models, the reservoir is either circular in shape and situated at the front of the engine compartment, or is rectangular in shape and is mounted on the right-hand side of the engine compartment, just in front of the suspension turret.

On models equipped with an electric power steering pump, or with the circular reservoir which is mounted in the righthand corner of the engine compartment, the fluid level is visible through the translucent material of the reservoir. The level should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” level lines cast on the side of the reservoir. If necessary, wipe the area around the reservoir cap clean, then

remove the cap and top-up to the “MAX” mark using the specified type of fluid.

On models equipped with the rectangular fluid reservoir, wipe the area around the cap clean, then unscrew the cap. The fluid level indicator is in the form of a block fixed to the centre of the filler neck filter. The fluid level should be between the upper (“A”) and lower (“B”) edges of the block. If not, topup to the upper edge of the indicator block using the specified type of fluid, then refit the reservoir cap, tightening it securely.

On all models, take great care not to allow any dirt or foreign matter to enter the hydraulic system, and do not overfill the reservoir. When the level is correct, refit the cap. Note that the need for frequent topping-up of the system indicates a leak, which should be investigated immediately.

Tyre condition and pressure It is very important that tyres are in good condition, and at the correct pressure - having a tyre failure at any speed is highly dangerous. Tyre wear is influenced by driving style - harsh 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 tread before they penetrate the tyre to cause deflation. If removal of a nail does reveal that

the tyre has been punctured, refit the nail so that its point of penetration is marked. Then immediately change the wheel, and have the tyre repaired by a tyre dealer. 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 is very often the only way to overcome severe damage.

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 balance. Wheel balancing should be carried out by a tyre dealer or garage.

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 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

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

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.

Incorrect toe setting

Adjust front wheel alignment Note: The feathered edge of the tread which typifies toe wear is best checked by feel.

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. V Periodically (approximately every three months), check the charge condition of the battery as described in Chapter 5A. v If the battery is flat, and you need to jump start your vehicle, see Roadside Repairs.

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 both brake lights have failed, it is possible that the brake light switch operated by the brake pedal has failed. Refer to Chapter 9 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 (see “Electrical fault finding” in Chapter 12). The main fuses are in the fusebox under the passenger's side of the facia. For access to the fuses, press the two plastic securing tabs, then lower the fusebox panel from the facia. The circuits protected by the fuses are marked on a sticker at the bottom of the fusebox panel.

Choosing your engine oil Engines need oil, not only to lubricate moving parts and minimise wear, but also to maximise power output and to improve fuel economy.

+¢ Cleaning the engine internally

By introducing a simplified and improved range of engine oils, Duckhams has taken away the confusion and made it easier for you to choose the right oil for your engine.

HOW ENGINE OIL WORKS ¢ Beating friction Without oil, the moving surfaces inside your engine will rub together, heat up and melt, quickly causing the engine to seize. Engine oil creates a film which separates these moving parts, preventing wear and heat build-up.

¢ Cooling hot-spots Temperatures inside the engine can exceed 1000° C. The engine oil circulates and acts as a coolant, transferring heat from the hot-spots to the sump.

Good quality engine oils clean the inside of your engine, collecting and dispersing combustion deposits and controlling them until they are trapped by the oil filter or flushed out at oil change.

OIL CARE - FOLLOW THE CODE To handle and dispose of used engine oil safely, always: e Avoid skin contact with used engine oil. Repeated or prolonged contact can be harmful. e Dispose of used oil and_empty packs in a responsible manner in an authorised disposal site. Call 0800 663366 to find OL, saw et Lime 0800 66 33 66 the one nearest to you. Never tip oil down drains or onto the ground.

8 Refitting is a reversal of removal. Adjust the handbrake as'described in Chapter 1A or 1B. Note that on models with rear drum brakes, the cable is adjusted-before the brake drum is refitted.

22 Anti-lock braking system (ABS)- general information °

1 ABS is available as an option on certain Clio models. The purpose of the system is to

prevent wheel(s) locking during heavy braking. This is achieved by automatic release of the brake on the relevant wheel, followed by reapplication of the brake (see illustration).

21.2b ...and unscrew the stop-light switch (facia panel removed for clarity)

2 The main components of the system are four wheel sensors (one per wheel), and a modulator block which contains the ABS computer, the hydraulic solenoid valves and accumulators, and an _ electrically-driven return pump.

3 The solenoids are controlled by the computer, which receives signals from the wheel sensors. The sensors detect the speed of rotation of a toothed ring, known as a reluctor ring, attached to the wheel hub.

Removal 1 The stop-light switch is located on the pedal bracket beneath the facia. 2 To remove the switch, reach up behind the ~ facia, disconnect the wiring connector and unscrew the switch from the bracket (see illustrations).

Refitting and adjustment 3 Screw the switch back into position in the mounting bracket.

4 Connect a continuity tester (ohmmeter or self-powered test light) across the switch terminals. Screw the switch in until an opencircuit is present between the switch terminals (infinite resistance, or light goes out). Gently depress the pedal and check that continuity exists between the switch terminals (zero resistance, or light comes on) after the pedal has travelled approximately 5 mm. If necessary, reposition the switch until it operates as specified. 5 In the absence of a continuity tester, the same adjustment can be made by reconnecting the switch and having an assistant observe the stop-lights (ignition on). 6 Once the stop-light switch is correctly adjusted, remake the original wiring connections, and recheck the operation of the stop-lights.

22.5 ABS system “pressure-decrease” phase

Refer to illustration 22.3 for keys By comparing the speed signals from the four wheels, the computer can determine when a wheel is decelerating at an abnormal rate, and can therefore predict when a wheel is about to lock. During normal operation, the system functions in the same way as a non-ABS braking system does (see illustration). 4 lf the computer senses that a wheel is about to lock, the ABS system enters the “oressure-maintain” phase (see illustration).

The computer operates the relevant solenoid valve in the modulator block; this isolates the

brake caliper on the wheel in question from the master cylinder, effectively sealing-in the

hydraulic pressure, 5 If the speed of rotation of the wheel continues to decrease at an abnormal rate, the ABS system then enters the “pressuredecrease” phase (see illustration). The return pump operates and pumps the hydraulic fluid back into the master cylinder, releasing pressure on the brake caliper. When the speed of rotation of the wheel returns to an acceptable rate, the pump stops and the solenoid valve opens, allowing hydraulic pressure to return to the caliper and reapply

the brake. This cycle can be carried out at up to 10 times a second. 6 The action of the solenoid valves and return pump Creates pulses in the hydraulic circuit. When the ABS system is functioning, these pulses can be felt through the brake pedal. 7 The solenoid valves connected to the front

calipers operate independently, but the valve connected to the rear calipers, together with the load-sensitive pressure-regulating valve, operates both calipers simultaneously. Since the braking circuit is split diagonally, a separate mechanical plunger valve in the

modulator block divides the rear solenoid valve hydraulic outlet into two separate circuits. 8 The operation of the ABS system is entirely dependent on electrical signals. To prevent the system responding to any inaccurate signals, a built-in safety circuit monitors all signals received by the computer. If an inaccurate signal or low battery voltage is detected, the ABS system is automatically

shut down, and the warning lamp on the instrument panel is illuminated to inform the driver that the ABS system is not operational. Normal braking is unaffected. 9 If a fault does develop in the ABS system, the vehicle must be taken to a Renault dealer for fault diagnosis and repair. Check first, however, that the problem is not due to loose or damaged wiring connections, or badlyrouted wiring picking up spurious signals from the ignition system.

Place a piece of polythene over the filler neck, and securely refit the cap (taking care not to damage the sender unit). This will minimise brake fluid loss during subsequent operations. On all models, be prepared for some fluid spillage. As a precaution, place absorbent rags beneath the modulator brake pipe unions. 8 Wipe clean the area around the modulator brake pipe unions. Make a note of how the

coded, and the modulator outlet unions are marked to aid refitting. Unscrew the union nuts and carefully withdraw the pipes (see illustrations).

Examine the rings for signs of damage such as chipped or missing teeth, and renew as necessary. If renewal is necessary, the brake disc must be renewed as described in Section 18.

Relays 40 Both the solenoid relay and return pump relay are located in the modulator block assembly. To gain access to them, undo the relay cover retaining screw and lift off the cover. Either relay can then be simply pulled out of position (see illustration). Refer to Chapter 12 for further information on relays.

Free play The amount of travel before any action takes place. The “looseness” in a linkage, or an assembly of parts, between the initial application of force and actual movement. For example, the distance the brake pedal moves before the pistons in the master cylinder are actuated.

Fuse An electrical device which protects a circuit against accidental overload. The typical fuse contains a soft piece of metal which is calibrated to melt at a predetermined current flow (expressed as amps) and break the circuit. Fusible link A circuit protection device consisting of a conductor surrounded by heat-resistant insulation. The conductor is smaller than the wire it protects, so it acts as the weakest link in the circuit. Unlike a blown fuse, a failed fusible link must frequently be cut from the wire for replacement.

G Gap The distance the spark must travel in jumping from the centre electrode to the side

F Fan clutch A viscous (fluid) drive coupling device which permits variable engine fan speeds in relation to engine speeds.

shaft or bearing; a heavy sliding handle on the shaft bottoms against the end of the shaft to knock the component free. Sprocket

A

tooth

or projection

on

the

periphery of a wheel, shaped to engage with a chain or drivebelt. Commonly used to refer to the sprocket wheel itself.

reFe26 Glossary of technical terms Starter inhibitor switch On vehicles with an automatic transmission, a switch that

prevents starting if the vehicle is not in Neutral or Park. Strut See MacPherson strut.

Tappet A cylindrical component which transmits motion from the cam to the valve stem, either directly or via a pushrod and rocker arm. Also called a cam follower. Thermostat A heat-controlled valve that regulates the flow of coolant between the

cylinder block and the radiator, so maintaining optimum engine operating temperature. A thermostat is also used in some air cleaners in which the temperature is regulated. Thrust bearing The bearing in the clutch assembly that is moved in to the release levers by clutch pedal action to disengage the clutch. Also referred to as a release bearing. Timing belt A toothed belt which drives the camshaft. Serious engine damage may result if it breaks in service. Timing chain A chain which drives the camshaft. Toe-in The amount the front wheels are closer together at the front than at the rear. On rear wheel drive vehicles, a slight amount of toe-in is usually specified to keep the front wheels running parallel on the road by offsetting other forces that tend to spread the wheels apart.

Toe-out The amount the front wheels are closer together at the rear than at the front. On front wheel drive vehicles, a slight amount of toe-out is usually specified. Tools For full information on choosing and using tools, refer to the Haynes Automotive Tools Manual. Tracer A stripe of a second colour applied to a wire insulator to distinguish that wire from another one with the same colour insulator. Tune-up A process of accurate and careful adjustments and parts replacement to obtain the best possible engine performance. Turbocharger A centrifugal device, driven by exhaust gases, that pressurises the intake air. Normally used to increase the power output from a given engine displacement, but can also be used primarily to reduce exhaust emissions (as on VW’s “Umwelt” Diesel engine).

U Universal joint or U-joint A double-pivoted connection for transmitting power from a driving to a driven shaft through an angle. A U-joint consists of two Y-shaped yokes and a cross-shaped member called the spider.

V Valve A device through which the flow of liquid, gas, vacuum, or loose material in bulk

may be started, stopped, or regulated by a movable part that opens, shuts, or partially obstructs one or more ports or passageways. A valve is also the movable part of such a device. Valve clearance The clearance between the valve tip (the end of the valve stem) and the rocker arm or tappet. The valve clearance is measured when the valve is closed. Vernier caliper A precision measuring instrument that measures inside and outside dimensions. Not quite as accurate as a micrometer, but more convenient. Viscosity The thickness of a liquid or its resistance to flow. Volt A unit for expressing electrical “oressure” in a circuit. One volt that will produce a current of one ampere through a resistance of one ohm.

W Welding Various processes used to join metal items by heating the areas to be joined to a molten state and fusing them together. For more information refer to the Haynes Automotive Welding Manual. Wiring diagram A drawing portraying the components and wires in a vehicle’s electrical system, using standardised symbols. For more information refer to the Haynes Automotive Electrical and Electronic Systems Manual.

Preserving Our Motoring Heritage

The Model J Duesenberg Derham Tourster. Only eight of these magnificent cars were ever built — this is the only example to be found outside the United States of America

Almost every car you’ve ever loved, loathed or desired is gathered under one roof at the Haynes Motor Museum. Over 300 immaculately presented cars and motorbikes represent every aspect of our motoring heritage, from elegant reminders of bygone days, such as the superb Model JDuesenberg to curiosities like the bug-eyed BMW Isetta. There are also many old friends and flames. Perhaps you remember the 1959 Ford Popular that you did your courting in? The magnificent ‘Red Collection’ is a spectacle of classic sports cars including AC, Alfa Romeo, Austin Healey, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, MG, Riley, Porsche and Triumph.

A Perfect Day Out Each and every vehicle at the Haynes Motor Museum has played its part in the history and culture of Motoring. Today, they make a wonderful spectacle and a great day out for all the family. Bring the kids, bring Mum and Dad, but above all bring your camera to capture those golden memories for ever. You will also find an impressive array of motoring memorabilia, a comfortable 70 seat video cinema and one of the most extensive transport book shops in Britain. The Pit Stop Cafe serves everything from a cup of tea to wholesome, home-made meals or, if you prefer, you can enjoy the large picnic area nestled in the beautiful rural surroundings of Somerset.

John Haynes O.B.E.,

Founder and Chairman of the museum at the wheel of a Haynes Light 12.
