Engine, Installing

• When guiding the engine/transmission assembly into the body, bring the subframe into contact with the body using the scissor lift table. "Pulling" the subframe up by the bolts can damage the threaded inserts.

- Reconnect all lines, hoses and electrical connections that were disconnected during the removal procedure.

Install in the reverse order of removal. Note the following:

Tightening specifications.

- Make sure the alignment sleeves for centering the engine/transmission are installed inside the cylinder block. Install them if necessary.

Torque Converter Centering Bushing






- Check the installed dimension of the torque converter.

- Check whether the bushing - arrow - is inserted in the rear of the crankshaft. Drive in the bushing if necessary.

- Before guiding the engine and transmission together, rotate torque converter and drive plate so that the holes are aligned with the starter opening - arrows -.






Risk of destroying the transmission due to a torque converter inserted incorrectly.

• Keep checking whether the torque converter behind the drive plate can be turned before and during tightening of the bolts at engine/transmission connection.

• If the torque converter cannot be rotated, the ATF pump coupling plate and therefore the transmission are destroyed when connections are tightened to the final torque.

- To secure the torque converter to the drive plate, use new original ribbed bolts. Refer to the Parts Catalog.

- Bolt the transmission to the engine.

- Raise the engine/transmission subassembly using the scissor lift table just enough until dimension - a - between the subframe and the body is reached.






• - a - = minimum 250 mm

- Install the selector lever cable and check the adjustment.

- Continue raising the engine/transmission subassembly with the subframe using the scissor lift table.

- When removing, align the subframe, engine carrier and transfer case carrier using locating pins, or align the marks you made on the longitudinal supports.






- Swap out the locating pins one after the other for new subframe bolts and tighten them to specification.

- Install and tighten the new engine mount bracket bolts. Tightening specification, refer to => [ Engine Carrier, Engine Mount and Bracket Overview ] Engine Carrier, Engine Mount and Bracket Overview.

- Install and tighten the new transfer case carrier bolts.

Risk of accident due to loose connections.

• If the bolts for the subframe are not tightened to their final torque, the vehicle must not be driven.

- Top off the transmission fluid level.

- Electrical connections and routing.

- Connect the Air Conditioning (A/C) lines to the compressor.

- Fill the power steering system with fluid and bleed the system.

- Install the noise insulation.

- Fill the coolant. Refer to => [ Coolant, Filling ] Coolant, Filling.

Observe the safety precautions that apply to road tests. Refer to => [ Safety Precautions ] Diesel Fuel Injection.

- Perform a road test and then check all the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memories. Refer to the vehicle diagnostic tester.
