t
| Seal off open pipes/lines and connections immediately with clean plugs, e.g. from engine bung set -VAS 6122-. |
t
| Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover them over. Do not use fluffy cloths. |
t
| Carefully cover or seal open components if repairs cannot be carried out immediately. |
t
| Only install clean components; replacement parts should only be unpacked immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been previously unpacked and stored away loose (e.g. in toolboxes, etc.). |
t
| When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air. Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely necessary. |
