Information The condenser fitted to the new Citroen C5 2008>, with technical reference code CA1542, measures 3mm less in width to 817824 (CA1458). Valeo Service can confirm that both condensers are interchangeable. 817824 reference is maintained but technical code CA1458 is replaced by CA1542. New application for 817824 – Citroen New C5 2008 on. The cause of the failure is incorrectly diagnosed as a collapsed/failed bearing, however the real cause of the bearing failure is due to thermal damage caused by a preload fault. When the diaphragm fingers are worn to excess and the bearing face does not have a contact point on the diaphragm fingers, the outer race of the bearing will contact the fingers. This causes the outer race of the bearing to turn, resulting in the carrier becoming hot and subsequently melting. (Image 2). Image 2 Contact with the fingers is made at this point, resulting in thermal bluing. Outer race will turn causing carrier to become hot and subsequently melt. The rear of the bearing will also display evidence of a heavy contact from the release fork seating pads. Heavy impressions can clearly be seen at the point the bearing locates onto the fork. (Image 3) Image 3 Heavy/deep impression from fork pads.

6.0L DIESEL FUEL IN ENGINE COOLANT DIAGNOSTICS FORD: 2003-2005 Excursion 2003-2007 F-Super Duty 2004-2008 E-Series ISSUE Some 2003-2005 Excursion, 2003-2007 F-Super Duty and 2004-2008 E-Series vehicles equipped with a 6.OL engine may exhibit fuel in the engine coolant, due to leaks in the cylinder head fuel injector area. Symptoms may include fuel in engine coolant and coolant expulsion from the degas bottle. ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition. SERVICE PROCEDURE Inspect the degas bottle for evidence of fuel in engine coolant. If diesel fuel is present, refer to the following Service Procedure. If not, follow normal diagnostics. NOTE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE A COMPLETE FLUSHING OF THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM IS PERFORMED TO REMOVE ALL CONTAMINANTS FOLLOWING REPAIR. 1. Drain coolant from cooling system. 2. Remove all injectors from both cylinder heads. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 313-04C. 3. Wipe injector bore clean of oil and fuel then apply a thin layer of bubbly type liquid hand soap, dish soap or laundry soap inside each injector bore. Ensure injector sleeve lip and cylinder head casting are coated with a soap layer. (Adding a small amount of water to the soap aids in creating bubbles) 4. Fit the cooling system pressure tester, refer to WSM, Section 303-03. (Do not add coolant) 5. Apply 5-10 psi (34-69 kPa) of air pressure to sealed cooling system. It is suggested to use a hand operated pressure tester or regulated shop air with tee in degas hose to degas bottle. NOTE MORE THAN 10 PSI (69 kPa) AIR PRESSURE CAN PUSH THE SOAP FROM THE LEAK POINT AND NO BUBBLES WILL BE PRESENT OR CREATED, MAKING DIAGNOSIS DIFFICULT. 6. Inspect each injector bore for bubbles. (A light and mirror or bore-scope may aid in pinpointing a leak location.) If bubbles are observed, determine if bubbles originate from the injector sleeve lip (Figure 1) or cylinder head casting. (Figure 2) Refer to cutaway view of the cylinder head. (Figure 3) a. Replace the injector sleeve if found to be leaking at sleeve lip, refer to WSM 303-04C. b. Replace cylinder head if leaking through casting, refer to WSM 303-01C. c. Flush cooling system, refer to another applicable Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) for proper cooling system flush procedures.
