Removing and installing particulate filter - vehicles with multitronic gearbox

Removing   Note All cable ties which are released or cut open when removing must be fitted in the same position when installing. –  Unclip cover caps. –  Unscrew nuts -arrows- and detach engine cover panel. Also pull out dipstick if necessary. –  Remove insulation beneath cover panel (if fitted). –  Remove Lambda probe → Rep. Gr.23.

–  Vehicles with auxiliary heater: remove bolts -arrows- securing exhaust pipe for auxiliary/additional heater to noise insulation.

–  Open quick-release fasteners -1 … 3- and take off front and rear noise insulation.

–  Remove noise insulation -1- in wheel housing (right-side).

–  Remove bolts -1- and -2- on bracket for front exhaust pipe.

–  Unscrew nuts -arrows-.   Note Disregard -item 1-.

–  Disconnect exhaust system at clamp -arrow-. –  Detach front exhaust pipe from studs on particulate filter.

–  Remove nuts -3-. –  Remove bolts -arrows-. –  Detach intake manifold with exhaust gas recirculation cooler and push slightly to one side, leaving coolant hoses -1- and -2- connected.

–  Unscrew stud -1- from exhaust manifold. –  Unscrew union nut -2- and push pipe slightly to one side.

–  Take electrical connector -1- for temperature sender before particulate filter -G506- out of bracket. –  Unplug electrical connector and move wiring clear. –  Unplug electrical wiring at exhaust gas pressure sensor 1 -G450--item 2-. –  Unscrew nut and detach exhaust gas pressure sensor 1 -G450- from bracket. –  Leave hoses connected and move exhaust gas pressure sensor 1 -G450- clear towards bottom of vehicle.

–  Unscrew nuts -1 ... 3- and lift out particulate filter. Installing Installation is carried out in the reverse order; note the following:   Note t  Renew gaskets and self-locking nuts. t  Hose connections and hoses for charge air system must be free of oil and grease before assembly. t  Secure all hose connections with the correct type of hose clips (same as original equipment) → Electronic parts catalogue. t  Fit all cable ties in the original positions when installing. –  Install temperature sender before particulate filter -G506- → Chapter. –  Install front exhaust pipe → Chapter. –  Install Lambda probe → Rep. Gr.23. –  Align exhaust system so it is free of stress → Chapter. –  After renewing particulate filter, perform "Adaption" in “Guided Fault Finding” mode → Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS 5051.
