Install in the reverse order of removal. When doing this note the following:

Servicing the Clutch

• Vehicles with a manual transmission.

• Vehicles with a Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG(R)).

- Make sure the alignment sleeves for the engine to transmission are installed in the cylinder block. Install them if necessary.

- Make sure there is enough clearance to the engine and transmission mounts and radiator when installing the engine/transmission subassembly.

- Adjust the engine and transmission mounts if necessary. Refer to => [ Engine and Transmission Mount, Adjusting ] Engine and Transmission Mount, Adjusting.

• Engine and transmission mount tightening specifications, refer to => [ Engine and Transmission Mount Overview ] Engine and Transmission Mount Overview.

• Electrical connections and routings.

with a Manual Transmission

- Install the clutch hydraulic line.

- Install the transmission shift mechanism and adjust it, if necessary.

with a DSG(R)

- Install the transmission selector lever cable and adjust it, if necessary.

Continuation for All

The additional numbered steps must be followed to ensure the particulate filter with the NOx reduction catalytic converter is installed correctly.

• Make sure the particulate filter is not under stress when installed.

• Always replace self-locking nuts, seals, gaskets and clamps.


The coupling elements between the particulate filter and NOx reduction catalytic converter can be damaged. When removing and installing:

• Do not bend the coupling element more than 10°.

• Do not stretch the coupling element.

• Do not damage the wire mesh on the coupling element.

• Secure the coupling element from over bending using the transportation lock (T10404).

- Install the particulate filter with NOx reduction catalytic converter and the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) filter. Refer to => [ Particulate Filter with NOx Reduction Catalytic Converter ] Service and Repair.

- Install the drive axles to the transmission.

- Install the right drive axle heat shield and bolts - arrows -.






- Install the lock carrier.

- Secure the refrigerant lines to the Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor and condenser without tension.

- Charge the A/C system.

- Install the battery tray and battery.

- Observe the notes after connecting the battery.

- Fill with coolant. Refer to => [ Draining and Filling ] Draining and Filling.

- Fill the fuel system. Refer to => [ Fuel System, Filling and Bleeding ] Fuel System, Filling and Bleeding.

- Check the diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memories of all control modules and erase all DTC entries which may have occurred during the reassembly. Refer to "Vehicle Self-Diagnosis" in the vehicle diagnostic tester.

- Check the headlamp adjustment and adjust if necessary.
