Engine, Removing



Engine, removing

Note: During this procedure the battery Ground strap must be disconnected. Check whether a coded radio is installed. Obtain the radio code first, if necessary.

The engine is removed in a downward direction together with the transmission.

CAUTION! When performing repair work, especially due to the confined conditions in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following:
^ Route all types of lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, EVAP system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) as well as electrical wiring so that the original positions are restored.
^ Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.


Note: All cable ties which are opened or cut open when removing the engine must be replaced in the same position when installing the engine.

- With ignition switched off disconnect battery Ground strap.
- Remove engine cover.
- Remove left and right sound insulation.
- Drain coolant.
- Remove battery and battery retainer.
- Observe rules for cleanliness.

WARNING!
^ Fire Hazard! Do NOT have anything in the area that can ignite fuel!
^ The fuel system is under pressure! Before opening the system place a cloth around the connection. Then release the pressure by carefully loosening the connection.
