Fitting Installation is carried out in the reverse order. But note the following:   Note t  Always replace gaskets, O-rings and self-locking nuts. t  Charge the turbocharger with engine oil using the connection sleeve of the oil supply pipe. t  Secure all hose connections with the correct hose clips (same as original equipment) → Parts catalogue. –  Fit the gear mechanism to the gearbox and adjust it → Rep. Gr.34. –  Install the front exhaust section with the particle filter → Chapter. –  Align exhaust system without tension → Chapter –  Mount the right half-shaft → Rep. Gr.40. –  Fit the battery → Rep. Gr.27. –  Check oil level . → Chapter.   Note After fitting the turbocharger, allow the engine to run at idle for about 1 minute, without accelerating; this will lubricate the turbocharger.
