Fitting the power train

To fit

Warning

A large number of hoses, cables, etc., are secured with cable ties. After tightening, the ties are cut off and leave more or less sharp edges at the fastening point. Watch out for the risk of cuts due to these sharp ends on the cable ties!



1. Align the trolley lift with the powertrain and adjust its position in relation to the body. See Centring tool, engine and subframe.


2. Lift up the power train until the inboard drive shaft universal joints are level with the wheel hubs and insert the drive shafts into the hubs. Make sure nothing gets caught or damaged.

3. Lift a little higher and position the lower swivel joints to the steering swivel members. If necessary, adjust the trolley lift screws to provide even contact with the body. Check that the guide pins are positioned correctly relative the reference holes in the body.

Warning

The work involved in removing the fuel pipe requires working with the vehicle's fuel system. The following points should therefore be heeded in conjunction with these measures:

• Have a class BE fire extinguisher on hand! Be aware of the risk of sparks, i.e. in connection with electric circuits, short-circuiting, etc.

• Absolutely No Smoking!

• Ensure good ventilation! If there is approved ventilation for evacuating fuel fumes then this must be used.

• Wear protective gloves! Prolonged exposure of the hands to fuel can cause irritation to the skin.

• Wear protective goggles.


23. Connect the quick-release coupling on the ventilation line and press the fuel lines and ventilation lines into the clips on the camshaft cover.


24. Remove the plugs and connect both fuel lines to the fuel rail while gripping the lower nut. Use new seals.

25. Connect the quick-release coupling to the clutch slave cylinder. Remove 30 07 739 Hose pinch-off pliers from the clutch hose. The connection must be mounted at the correct angle as illustrated. Make sure the connection is secure.

Important

To reduce the risk of hoses mounted on the delivery side of the turbocharger coming loose due to low friction at high air pressure, the hoses and connecting pieces must be cleaned thoroughly before fitting. Use a rag dampened with 93 160 907 Motip Dupli cleaning agent to wipe clean inside the ends of the hoses. Clean the connecting pieces as well. If hose clips are rusty or damaged, they must be replaced so the correct clamping force is maintained.
