  Note
t  Note use-by date of silicone sealant -D 176 404 A2-.
t  Install oil sump within 5 minutes of applying silicone sealant -D 176 404 A2-.
   
–  Cut off tube nozzle at forward marking (approx. 3 mm nozzle Ø).
–  Apply silicone sealing compound, as shown, to clean sealing surface on oil sump. Sealant bead must be:
t  2...3 mm thick
t  Run bead along inner side of bolt holes -arrows-.
  Note
The sealing compound bead must not be thicker. Otherwise excess sealing compound will enter the sump and can block the oil suction line strainer.

–  Apply silicon sealant, as shown in diagram, with great care (particularly in area of -arrows-) to clean contact surface of oil sump.
–  Fit sump immediately and tighten bolts as follows:
1 - Tighten all bolts between sump and cylinder block only very lightly and in diagonal sequence.
2 - Tighten bolts between sump and gearbox lightly.
3 - Further tighten all bolts between sump and cylinder block lightly and in diagonal sequence.
4 - Tighten bolts between sump and gearbox to 45 Nm.
5 - Tighten all bolts between sump and cylinder block diagonally to 15 Nm.
  Note
t  When installing sump with engine out of the vehicle, ensure that sump is flush with cylinder block at flywheel end.
t  Let sealing compound dry for approx. 30 minutes after installing sump. Only then fill with engine oil.
Further assembly is basically the reverse of the dismantling procedure.
