t  Retainer (transport lock) -T10403- Removal: –  Turn wheels to straight ahead position. –  Loosen universal joint → Running gear, axles, steering; Rep. gr.48.

–  To do this, remove cover -2- and unscrew plastic nuts -1-.

–  Unscrew bolt -1- from universal joint and pull universal joint off in direction of arrow. –  Remove engine cover panel → Chapter.

–  Disconnect connectors -1- for exhaust temperature sender 1 -G235-. –  Disconnect connectors -2- for Lambda probe -G39-.

–  Unscrew Lambda probe -G39--1- using Lambda probe open ring spanner set -3337-. –  Remove securing clamp -2- between catalytic converter with non-engine-mounted particulate filter and turbocharger. –  Remove noise insulation → General body repairs, exterior; Rep. gr.50

–  Disconnect connector -2- to pressure differential sender -G505-. –  Unscrew pressure differential sender -G505--1-. –  Disconnect connector -3- to pressure differential sender -G505-. –  Pull lines from retainers, remove cable ties if necessary. The flexible joint in the front exhaust pipe must not be bent more than 10° - otherwise it can be damaged.

If the catalytic converter with non-engine-mounted particulate filter is to be re-installed, a transportation sleeve -arrow- must always be secured to the flexible joint in front exhaust pipe.

–  Open bracket -B- of hydraulic lines -A-.

–  Remove pendulum support -arrows-. Item -1- must not be loosened. –  Place engine and gearbox jack -VAG 1383A- under subframe. –  Unscrew the bolts of the engine assembly one after another and replace them with the fixing bolts → Running gear, axles, steering; Rep. gr.40. –  Loosen anti-roll bar at top of coupling rod → Running gear, axles, steering; Rep. gr.40. –  Carefully lower subframe with engine and gearbox jack -VAG 1383A- leaving the steering on subframe in the process. The hydraulic steering circuit does not need to be opened for this → Running gear, axles, steering; Rep. gr.40. –  Lower on the right side max. 10 cm -movement arrow-.

–  Disconnect connector for exhaust temperature sender 4 -G648-.

–  Unscrew bolts -1- and then nuts -2-. –  Remove particulate filter bracket.   Note The flexible joint in the front exhaust pipe must not be bent more than 10° - otherwise it can be damaged.

If the particulate filter is to be re-installed, a transportation sleeve -arrow- must always be secured to the flexible joint in front exhaust pipe.

–  Loosen securing bolts -arrows- of clamping sleeve, then push down backwards from front exhaust pipe. –  Detach front exhaust pipe from mounting brackets. Carefully remove the particle filter with the pressure differential sender -G505- taking them out via the lowered subframe in the process.

–  Remove catalytic converter with non-engine-mounted particulate filter by turning 180° around its own axis.
