*.:
1.
The timing cover can be completely sealed
to
exclude mud and water under severe wading
conditions, by fitting a plug
in
the drain hole at the
bottom of the cover.
2.
The plug should only be fitted when the vehicle is
expected
to
do wading or very muddy work.
3.
When the plug
is
in
use
it
must be removed
periodically and any
oil
present allowed
to
drain off
before the plug is replaced.
NOTE: There should not be
any
oil in the timing
cover, but if there is, the cause should be
investigated
as
soon as possible,
as
the timing belt
will deteriorate if it becomes contaminated with oil.
4.
When the plug is not in use it should be stowed in
the tapped hole adjacent
to
the drain hole.

CLEAN ENGINE TIMING COVER FILTER
-
2.5
Diesel only
A
gauze filter is fitted at the bottom
of
the engine
timing cover to help prevent mud and other debris
entering the drain hole, when the wading plug is not
in
use. The filter must be removed and cleaned
periodically, to ensure that it does not become blocked
and prevent
the
timing cover draining properly. Under
normal circumstances, the filter should be cleaned at
the intervals specified in the Maintenance Schedule or,
more frequently
if
the vehicle operates regularly
in
wet
or dusty conditions.
1.
From underneath the vehicle, remove
the
four
bolts and plain washers and, withdraw the wading
plug plate from the bottom
of
the timing cover.
2.
Wash the filter
in
kerosene or clean fuel. Brush off
any mud or other debris
aiid ensure that
the
whole
filter
is
quite clean.
3.
Check
the
condition
of
the gasket for the wading
plug plate. If necessary,
fit
a new gasket.
4.
Refit the wading plug plate. Tighten the securing
bolts.
