CHECK ENGINE lamp lights.

Procedure

Before proceeding, check box B4 of the modification identity plate. If the box is not marked, continue as follows.


1. Remove the upper engine cover.


2. Pull up the dipstick, bend aside the coolant hose for EGR as in the illustration and put the dipstick back in place.

3. Hold down the left-hand cable guide under the connector slightly with your hand.

4. Use a needle nose pliers to hold the chafing guard by its edge. Coat the surfaces with vaseline. The side with the raised edge should be up.


5. Press the chafing guard into the opening between the engine control module cover and the cable guide. The pliers must be inserted behind the cable network.

6. Press in so that only approx. 2 mm of the chafing guard is visible and the raised edge snaps in place. The chafing guard should be fitted parallel to the diesel pump. Remove the pliers.


7. Put the EGR valve's coolant hose back in place and wipe away any oil. Replace the dipstick.


8. Fit the upper engine cover.


Marking the modification identity plate

On completion of the necessary procedure, box B4 of the modification identity plate must be marked. If the work was carried out by the importer, mark the box with a "7". If done by a dealer, mark with an "8".
