–  Secure the steering wheel; to do this, put the wheels straight and secure it -arrow- with adhesive tape.

–  Remove the plastic bolts -1-. –  Remove cover -2-.

–  Unscrew the hexagonal bolt from the cross member -1-. –  Remove the steering box crosspiece by pulling in -direction of the arrow-. t  -1- Separate exhaust gas temperature sender 1 -G235- connector t  Detach the connector -2- of the exhaust gas temperature sender 3 -G495-. t  Detach the connector -3- of the exhaust gas pressure sensor 4 -G648-.

t  Detach the connector -4- of the Lambda probe -G39-.

–  Unplug connector from pressure differential sender -G505--2-. –  Unscrew the pressure differential sender -G505- → Item. –  Pull lines out of retainers on engine and remove heat shield from particulate filter; if necessary remove cable ties. –  Unscrew the Lambda probe -G39- using the Wrench kit -3337- → Item. –  Unscrew the exhaust gas temperature sender 3 -G495- using the 17 mm wrench -T10395/6- → Item.

–  Remove securing clamp -2- between particulate filter and turbocharger. –  Unscrew the bolt -1- from the centre support of the particle filter mount. –  Remove the soundproofing or the underbody protection → Bodywork, exterior assembly work 3p and 5p; Rep. gr.50.

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

–  Unscrew and remove the bolts -arrows- of the pendulum support. Item -1- must not be loosened. –  Place the Engine and gearbox jack -VAG 1383A- under the engine assembly. –  Unscrew the bolts of the engine assembly one after another and replace them with bolts of the supporting tool -T10038-. → Running gear, axles and steering; Rep. gr.40. –  Loosen the stabilizer on the top side of the link rod → Running gear, axles, steering; Rep. gr.40. –  Carefully lower the engine assembly using the Engine and gearbox jack -VAG 1383A-, the steering box remains connected to the engine assembly. The hydraulic steering circuit does not need to be opened for this → Running gear, axles, steering; Rep. gr.40. –  Lower max. 10 cm -arrow- on the right hand side.

–  To prevent the hydraulic lines being overstretched, lower on the left side max. 7 cm.   Note Secure the engine assembly together with the steering box to the bottom vehicle platform using the support tool -T10038- for the purpose of discharging the hydraulic lines.

–  Remove the screws -1- and take off the heat shield for drive shaft on the right side.

–  Unscrew the exhaust temperature sensor 4 -G648--1-from the exhaust pipe to the particulate filter.   Note Ignore -item 2-.

–  First unscrew the screws -1- and then the nuts -2- of the bottom support of the particulate filter. –  Remove particulate filter bracket.   Note The mounting on the front section of the exhaust pipe with particle filter / catalytic converter should not be bent by more than 10° otherwise there is a risk of damage.

If the catalytic converter should be reinstalled, the separating element on the front section of the exhaust pipe must always be protected using a transport lock -T10403--arrow-.

–  Pull particulate filter from mountings -arrows-.

–  Loosen securing nuts -arrows- of clamp and slide clamp to rear and off front exhaust pipe. –  Remove the front exhaust section from the tunnel bridge.   Note Be careful not to damage the electrical connections and cable routing. –  Carefully remove the particulate filter along with exhaust gas pressure sensor -G505- between the floor tunnel and the subframe.

–  Remove particulate filter by turning 180° around its own axis.
