Before removing the Poly-V belt, mark the direction of rotation using chalk or a marker. If the belt runs in the opposite direction when it is refitted, this can cause breakage. –  Release tensions on poly V belt by turning tensioning element in direction indicated by -Arrow-. –  Take off poly V-belt.

–  Unscrew bolt -arrow- and remove idler roller for poly V-belt.

–  Remove toothed belt → Chapter. –  Remove crankshaft sprocket; use counterhold -3415- to lock sprocket in place.

–  Remove bolts -1 ... 10-. –  Remove the gasket from front. –  Drive out seal with flange removed. Installing   Note Lie a cloth over the open part of the oil sump. –  Remove sealant residue on cylinder block and on oil sump carefully.   WARNING Wear eye protection.

–  Remove sealant residue from sealing flange with rotating plastic brush or similar. –  Clean sealing surfaces; they must be free of oil and grease.

–  Cut off the tube nozzle on the front marking (diameter of the nozzle approximately. 2 mm).

–  Apply a thin bead of sealant at the edge of the joint between the cylinder block and the sump -arrows-.

–  Apply the bead of silicone sealant onto the clean sealing surface of the sealing flange, as illustrated -arrow-. l  Thickness of the sealant grub: 2 ... 3 mm.   Note The sealant bead must not be thicker than specified, otherwise excess sealant could enter the oil sump and clog the strainer in the pump.

–  Coat the lower sealing surface on the sealing flange lightly with sealant -hatched area-.   Note The sealing flange must be installed within 5 minutes after applying sealant.

–  Slide the sealing flange carefully onto the engine block pins. –  Tighten bolts in the following sequence: 1.  Tighten the bolts -1 … 6-. 2.  Tighten the bolts -7 ...10-. –  Install crankshaft oil seal -belt pulley end- → Chapter.

–  Renew centre bolt for toothed belt pulley. l  Contact surface between notched belt sprocket and crankshaft must be free of oil. l  Do not oil bolt for crankshaft sprocket. –  Install crankshaft sprocket; use counterhold tool -3415- to lock sprocket in place. The remaining installation steps are carried out in reverse sequence - note the following points: –  Install toothed belt (adjust valve timing) → Anchor. –  Install pulley → Chapter. –  Install poly V-belt → Chapter. –  Install lock carrier with attachments → General body repairs, exterior; Rep. gr.50.

–  Allow stop for torque reaction support to rest on rubber buffer for torque reaction support under its own weight and tighten bolts -arrows-. Tightening torque → Chapter „Assembly mountings - exploded view“ –  Install the front bumper cover → General body repairs, exterior; Rep. gr.63. –  Check headlight adjustment → Booklet301.
