Object Number: 616192  Size: DEFAULT  Install, Connect   

Transfer attaching parts when replacing intake manifold.  

Attach intake manifold to intake manifold flange with new gasket - tightening torque 8 Nm / 6 lbf. ft.  

Attach intake manifold support to intake manifold - tightening torque 20 Nm / 15 lbf. ft.  

Attach intake manifold support to cylinder block - tightening torque 35 Nm / 26 lbf. ft.  

Insert alternator support and fasten - tightening torque 35 Nm / 26 lbf. ft.  

Hand-tighten lower alternator fastening bolt - tightening to torque only takes place after the alternator shackle has been installed.  

Install reaction member and tighten fastening bolts - tightening torque 60 Nm / 44 lbf. ft.  

Secure alternator shackle to coolant flange, alternator and inlet manifold flange - tightening torque 20 Nm / 15 lbf. ft.  

Tighten lower alternator fastening bolt - tightening torque 35 Nm / 26 lbf. ft.  

Carefully insert injectors with new seal rings together with wiring trough and fuel distributor pipe and secure - tightening torque 8 Nm / 6 lbf. ft.  

Attach fuel lines to fuel distributor pipe and to fuel pressure regulator. Attach coolant hoses to throttle body.  

 

 

Object Number: 616192  Size: DEFAULT  Install, Connect   

Attach brake servo vacuum line and vacuum hose for intake pipe pressure sensor to intake manifold.  

Attach vacuum hose for tank vent valve to throttle body. Connect vacuum hose for secondary air switchover valve.  

Attach accelerator Bowden cable in ball head and bracket without tension.  

Connect plug strip to injectors - plug strip must engage audibly - ensure correct seating. Connect/attach all cable connections connected with the wiring loom or plug strip.  

Notice: 

Before assembling components of the intake system (hoses, connections, etc.), they must be cleaned of any possible contamination (grease, oil, etc.). When tightening the hose clamps, be sure to observe exactly the tightening torque of 3.5 Nm / 2.6 lbf. ft.  

Object Number: 616201  Size: DEFAULT  Important!   

It is only ensured that the intake system is free of leaks, thus ensuring operational safety of the engine, if the hose clamps are tightened correctly to the prescribed tightening torque.
