8.3.01.1 Vacuum System Solenoid Renewal

The flaps in the cabin air distribution vents and the water valve in the pipe line from the engine coolant system to the heater matrix are all operated by vacuum actuators. The vacuum for these is supplied by four solenoids mounted in a manifold pack located behind the front left hand footwell outlet. Failure of a solenoid will require replacement of the manifold pack.

Procedure

1. Disconnect the battery earth lead.
2. Remove the following:
   • glove box and lid
   • facia trim (walnut strip)
   • radio and ashtray
   • centre console switch assembly
   • left hand underscuttle casing/knee bolster

   Details of the above operations can be found in the trim and the electrical sections.

3. Remove the fixings joining the centre console to the facia. This allows the front of the console to be repositioned for access.
4. Disconnect the ducting from the left hand footwell outlet.
5. Remove the two plastic fixings that secure the slotted footwell outlet and slide the outlet out of the unit.
6. Cut the tie strap holding the vacuum lines and electrical harness to the underside of the air conditioning unit.
7. Remove the screws that secure the manifold pack to the underside of the air conditioning unit and slide out the plate complete with the manifold pack.
8. To fit a new manifold pack reverse the steps for the removal.
