Notes for working on hydraulic lines |
t
| After extraction there will be residual hydraulic oil in the engine pump aggregate as well as in the return line and pressure line (expansion hose). |
t
| Do not use drained hydraulic oil again. |
t
| Do not pinch off the pressure line (expansion hose) and the return line with hose clamps -MP7-602 (3094)- or with any other tools. Pinching off may cause damage to the hydraulic lines. |
t
| Use new hollow screw for the connection of the pressure line to the power steering gear (TRW). |
t
| Pay attention to fitting location of the pressure line (flexible hose) → Chapter. |
t

t
