Fan cowling

To remove


1. Remove the upper engine cover, insulation and battery cover.


Warning

The cooling system is under pressure. Hot coolant and steam can escape.

- Open the cap slowly to release the pressure.

- Carelessness can cause eye and burn injuries


2. Undo the expansion tank cap to release pressure and then retighten the cap.

3. Raise the car.

4. Remove the spoiler shield.


5. Place a suitable receptacle under the radiator. Connect a hose to the radiator and drain the coolant.


6. Remove the turbocharger delivery pipe hose and the pipe screw from the radiator.

11. Remove the turbocharger delivery hose from the throttle body, the clip from the coolant hose and the turbocharger delivery pipe from the fan cowling. Remove the pipe and hose complete.


12. Remove the turbocharger delivery pipe and hose from the turbocharger outlet.


13. Remove the upper coolant hose.


14. Remove the air exhaust hose from the radiator.

15. Remove the radiator pipe to the reservoir from the engine, two mountings, and the hose from the manifold.

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.
