There are some openings - arrows - between the engine - A - and the transmission - B - near the bottom of the oil pan.






- Check the outer contour of the flywheel through these openings.

- The outer contour of the flywheel can also be inspected by removing - arrows - the small cover plate - A -, if equipped.
