Fitting power train, B235R

Fitting power train, B235R

Warning

A large number of hoses, electrical leads, etc., are secured with cable ties of rigid plastic.

When these ties have been pulled tight, cut off any excess so that the ends remaining at the fixing points are as short as possible.

Help to prevent cuts and scratches caused by the sharp ends of cable ties!



1. Place the lifting trolley with power train under the raised car. Raise the lifting trolley so that the power train can be positioned. Insert the drive shafts into the hubs and thread on the nuts to the swivel arms and hub.


2. Raise the lifting trolley slightly higher and position the power train exactly. Make sure the A/C compressor is also above the subframe. Thread in the bolts to the subframe and engine mountings. Tighten the engine mounting pads.

Tightening torque: 50 Nm (37 lbf ft)

3. Fit the bolts for the subframe.

Tightening torque front: 115 Nm (85 lbf ft)

Tightening torque centre: 190 Nm (141 lbf ft)

Tightening torque rear: 110 + 75° Nm (82 lbf ft + 75°)

4. Remove the lifting trolley and tighten the bolts on the swivel arms.


Tightening torque: 100 Nm (74 lbf ft)

5. Fit the hub centre-nuts but do not tighten them.

Important

Always use new hub centre-nuts


6. Fit the bottom bolt on the A/C compressor


7. Connect the hoses to the oil filter housing and tighten the nut.

Tightening torque: 8 Nm (6 lbf ft)

8. Clean the joint on the exhaust pipe and fit the bolts


9. Connect the ground cable to the gearbox and left-hand wheel housing.


10. Close the coolant drain plug and fit the engine covers.

11. Lower the car to a comfortable working height and fit the brake calipers on both sides.

Tightening torque: 105 Nm (78 lbf ft)

12. Fit the wheels. Lower the car. Tighten the hub centre-nuts.

Tightening torque, wheel 110 Nm (81 lbf ft).

Tightening torque hub centre-nut with top groove: 170 Nm +45° (126 lbf ft + 45°)



13. Insert the wiring harness through the bulkhead. Check the seal.

14. Connect the engine wiring harness under the dashboard, fit the glove box or, alternatively, the lower section of the dashboard and replace the mat. Make sure the rubber grommet is positioned correctly. Do not forget the connection above the grommet in the engine bay.


15. Fit the connection to the slave cylinder. Bleed the system. See 4, clutch system, adjustment/replacement.


16. Fit the reverse gear sensor connection on the gearbox

17. Remove the locking pin from the gear-lever housing and engage 4th gear. Position the pin in the gear selector rod and insert it.


18. Pull up the locking pin and refit the plastic plug

19. Connect the positive table to the positive terminal block in the maxi fuse board and the ground cable behind the board. Replace the cover.


20. Tighten the top bolt to the A/C compressor and reconnect the electric connection.


Important

To reduce the risk of hoses mounted on the delivery side of the turbocharger coming loose due to low friction at high air pressures, the hoses and connecting pieces must be cleaned thoroughly before fitting. Use a rag dampened with 30 15 815 Cleaning agent to wipe clean inside the ends of the hoses. Clean also the connecting pieces. If hose clips are rusty or damaged, they must be replaced with new ones to maintain the correct clamping force.


21. Fit the hose between the water cooler and the water pump and the hose between the charge air cooler and turbo.

22. Connect the coolant hoses to the heater unit and the hose to the expansion tank. Fit the upper hose from the radiator to the cylinder head.


23. Fit the vacuum pipe to the brake servo and the signal hose to the throttle body.


24. Fit the power steering pump, mount the belt and check the position of all the belt pulleys.


25. Relieve the tension on the belt tensioner with a jointed handle and remove the drill.


26. Fit the turbo inlet pipe, tighten the banjo screw and the screws on the bracket. Connect the signal hoses. Fit the pipe for the crankcase ventilation. Plug in the connector and fit the control valve to the bracket. Connect the vacuum hose to the brake servo.


27. Fit the heat shield over the exhaust manifold and charge air pipe. Plug in the connector on the intake manifold. Connect the hose to the pressure sensor. Connect the hose to the bypass pipe and plug in the temperature sensor. Fit the charge air pipe with accessories.


28. Fit the cable channel. Connect the fuel hoses and the hoses to the crankcase ventilation.


29. Fit the accelerator cable with protective cap. Adjust the accelerator cable as necessary.

30. Fit he air cleaner with hose and plug in the mass air flow sensor. See fitting cylinder head B235R (Viggen), air cleaner.


31. Fit the evap canister purge valve with hose and the connector.

32. Fit the wiring harness to the MacPherson strut with cable ties


33. Fit the battery and connect the plus and minus cables and the battery vent.

34. Top up to the correct level and bleed the cooling system in the following way:

Note

AC/ACC should be OFF.


Fill the system to MAX level. Check for leaks. Close the cap on the expansion tank, start the engine and run it warm at varying speeds until the radiator fan cuts in. Open carefully and top up to MAX level.

35. Start the engine and warm it up until the thermostat opens. Turn off the engine and check the coolant and oil levels, top-up if necessary.

36. Fit the engine cover, remove the wing protectors and make sure the engine bay is clean.

37. Program SID and the radio. Start the engine and check all functions. Calibrate the ACC. Conduct a road test.
