| Before carrying out further work, disconnect battery earth strap. Check whether a coded radio is fitted. Where necessary, check the anti-theft coding first. |
t
| The engine is removed from underneath together with the gearbox. |
t
| So that the steering wheel is not locked, keep the key in the ignition. |
t
| The front wheels should be removed before proceeding with the removal of the engine assembly. In this way, the vehicle may be lowered using the platform until the protection plates for the disk brakes are almost touching the ground. Thus, the most ergonomic working position is achieved for reaching the components in the engine compartment. |
t
| All cable ties which are opened or cut through when engine is removed must be replaced in the same position when engine is installed. |
t
| Collect drained coolant in a clean container for re-use or disposal. |
WARNING When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped conditions: |
t
| Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, active carbon filter system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum pipes and hoses) and electrical wiring so that the original positions are restored. |
t
| Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components. |
