Operation process   WARNING When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped conditions: t  Route lines of any kind so that the original routing can be restored. t  Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

–  Loosen the engine cover at the locations -arrows- and remove. –  Remove the air filter housing → Chapter. –  Remove intake hose between air mass meter -G70- and intake connecting pipe.   Caution To prevent damage to the electronic components when disconnecting the battery: Observe notes on procedure for disconnecting the battery.

–  Disconnect the earth connection -arrow- on the battery when the ignition is turned off → Electrical system; Rep. gr.27

–  Remove battery and battery tray -arrows-.

–  Unscrew the bolt -arrow- and push the filling neck for the windscreen washer tank to the side.

–  Free air guide hose at retainer -2-. –  Pull retainer for fuel lines off upwards -arrow- and lay to side. –  Unplug the electrical connector -3-. –  Unscrew bolts -1-, remove retainer and lay to side. –  Loosen bolt -1-.

–  Loosen the bolt by one turn -1-. –  Remove bolt -2- and nut -3-. –  Take hose retainer -4- off fuel filter, place fuel filter -7- aside (fuel hoses -5- and -6- remain connected).

–  Fit the mount -10 222A- with the necessary adapters and attach as shown in the figure, and retain the motor in its fitting position.   Note The mechanical assemblies fixing bolts should only be dismounted with the engine being held via the support bracket -10 222A-.

–  Unscrew engine mounting bolts -arrows- in succession and renew (if not already carried out on installing engine). –  First screw bolts in loosely.

–  Renew gearbox mounting bolts -arrows- in succession (if not already carried out) and screw in hand-tight. –  First screw bolts in loosely.

Engine support. –  Using an assembly lever between engine bracket and support arm -1-, adjust position of engine until the specifications listed below are obtained: l  There must be a distance of -a- = 13.5 mm between engine support -2- and right longitudinal member. l  The side of the engine support casting -2- must be aligned parallel to the support arm -1- (dimension -x- must be identical on both sides).   Note Distance -a- = 13.5 mm can be checked with a metal rod of suitable size, or similar. –  Tighten the engine bracket bolts to the torque 60 Nm + 90° (1/4 turn).

Gearbox mounting –  On the gearbox side, ensure that the edges of the support arm -2- and gearbox support -1- are parallel. l  Dimension -x- must be identical on both sides of mounting. –  Tighten the bolts of the engine mountings on the gearbox side to 60 Nm + 1/4 turn (+90°). Installation is carried out in reverse order, noting the following: l  Ensure that fuel lines are tight. l  Do not interchange supply and return hose (return hose blue or blue markings, supply hose black). –  Install battery → Electrical system; Rep. gr.27.
