Engine mounting rear

To remove


1. Cover the wings and remove the top engine cover and the battery cover. Note the radio code, where applicable.


2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

3. (man) Remove the stay for the gear-changing linkage from the rear engine mounting's bracket.

4. Remove the engine mounting's upper retaining nut and the bolts securing it to the subframe.

5. Remove the bypass pipe and valve.


Note

There is an O-ring on the bypass pipe attachment to the turbo intake pipe.


6. Remove the exhaust manifold's heat shield.

7. Unplug the oxygen sensor connectors. Cut the cable tie and pull out the cables.

8. Fit 83 94 850 Lifting beam .


9. Loosen the two upper nuts at the connection between the turbo/front exhaust system.


10. Raise the car.

11. Loosen the third nut at the connection between the turbo/front exhaust system.

12. Undo the upper bolt on the stay securing the catalytic converter to the engine.

13. Separate the pipe joint between the front and rear exhaust systems.

14. Remove the clips and carefully pull off the rubber mountings.

15. Lower the front exhaust system.

Note

The flexible section on the front of the exhaust system must not be bent more than 5° from its neutral line, i.e. if the front exhaust system is left suspended, it must not be bent to a greater degree than is caused by its own weight. Excessive strain on the pipe will cause permanent deformation of the components. This can result in noise and leaks, and eventually to breakage.
