Caution | t
| When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped conditions: |
| t
| Route all the various lines, e.g. for fuel, coolant and refrigerant, vacuum and electrical wiring, in their original positions. |
| t
| To avoid damage to lines, ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components. |
|
Note | t
| When the engine is warm, the cooling system is under pressure. If necessary, release pressure before beginning repair work. |
| t
| Hoses are secured with spring-type clips. In case of repair, only use spring-type clips. |
| t
| Hose clip pliers -VAS 6340- or spring-type clip pliers -VAS 5024A- are recommended for use in installing spring-type clips. |
| t
| When installing coolant hoses, route stress-free so that they do not come into contact with other components (observe markings on coolant connection and hose). |
