Installing the engine
Installation is carried out in the reverse order. However, pay attention to the following:
  Caution
When undertaking all installation work, particularly in the engine compartment because of its cramped construction, please observe the following:
t  Lay lines of all kinds (e.g. for fuel, hydraulic fluid, the active charcoal container-unit, cooling fluid and refrigerant, brake fluid, vacuum) and electrical lines in such a way that the original line guide is re-established.
t  In order to avoid damage to the cables, ensure that there is adequate free access to all moving or hot components.
  Note
t  All cable straps should be fastened again in the same place when installing.
t  Secure all hose connections with hose clamps → Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts.
t  Replace the self-locking nuts and screws when undertaking assembly work.
t  Replace screws which have been tightened to a torquing angle as well as gasket rings and seals.
t  Clean the drive shaft serration and hub serration on used clutch discs, remove corrosion and only apply a very thin layer of grease -G 000 100- onto the serration. Subsequently move the clutch disc up and down on the drive shaft until the hub fits smoothly on the shaft. Remove all excess grease.
Observe all safety measures and notes for assembly work on the fuel, injection and ignition system and the charge air system as well as rules for cleanliness → Chapter.
