Vehicles with manual gearbox:

–  Remove bolts for engine mounting from engine support -arrows- one by one and renew (if they were not renewed when installing engine). –  Initially fit bolts hand-tight.

–  Remove bolts for gearbox mounting from gearbox bracket -arrows- one by one and renew (if they were not renewed when installing engine).

–  Using a tyre iron, adjust engine/gearbox assembly between engine support -1- and support arm -3- of engine mounting until the specifications listed below are obtained: l  The two bolt heads -2- must be parallel with edge of support arm -3- for engine mounting. l  There must be a distance of -x- = 16 mm between engine mounting -1- and engine support -4-.   Note Distance -x- = 16 mm can also be checked with a metal rod of suitable size, or similar. –  Tighten bolts securing engine mounting to engine support.

–  Ensure that the edges of the support arm (on the gearbox assembly mounting) -1- and gearbox mounting -2- are parallel. l  Dimension -x- must be identical on both sides of mounting.

–  Tighten bolts securing gearbox mounting to gearbox bracket -arrows-. Vehicles with dual clutch gearbox:

–  Remove bolts for engine mounting from engine support -arrows- one by one and renew (if they were not renewed when installing engine). –  Initially fit bolts hand-tight.
