2. Drain the refrigerant from the A/C system.
3. Detach the inlet hose with mass air flow sensor, without unplugging the connector, and place it on one side.
4. Remove the heat shield from the exhaust manifold.
5. Remove and move away the by-pass pipe including the valve.
6. Unplug the radiator fan connectors on the fan cowling. Undo the hose clamps holding the hose to the coolant expansion tank.
