- Install a tie strap with edge clip on the panel edge in the front edge at the left-hand front corner of the subframe.




- Take two clips from the kit and install them on the upper edge of the subframe, and turned in toward the subframe U-profile. Install the clips approximately in the positions illustrated.
- Install a tie strap with clip in the hole in the upper edge of the subframe in order to clamp up any excess cable. The tie strap must be fitted turned in toward the subframe U-profile




- Drain the coolant.
- Tighten the nipple after the coolant has been drained.

- Detach the double clamp on the cable to the alternator that is located on the thermostat housing hose.
- Rotate the catch on the thermostat housing pipe anticlockwise, detach the hose and drain the remaining coolant.




- Cut off the hose using a sharp knife in accordance with the measurements. Make the incision as straight as possible. The short hose-end that was cut off shall be used again.

Hint: Install a piece of tape over the cutting location and mark with a pen where the incision should be. Reinstall the hose connection in the pipe in order to support the cutting process.

Note! Do not damage the adjacent cable harnesses.




- Cut out the short cut-off hose section as illustrated.
- Discard the cut-off hose bend.




- Remove the short hose-end and press it on the pipe that runs to the thermostat housing. Make sure that the cut-out in the hose connection is turned down and fits into the corresponding pin in the pipe connection.
- Rotate the catch on the pipe clockwise against the stop.
- Take a hose clamp from the kit and install it on the hose-end.




- Take the engine block heater, bracket, rubber coated clamp and screw from the kit and assemble them as illustrated.

- Position the engine block heater with bracket in the front edge of the oil sump and connect both hose-ends to the engine block heater's connections.
- Take a screw from the kit and tighten the bracket with engine block heater into the existing hole in the oil sump.

Note! The screw is self-tapping so insertion may be slow. Make sure that the screw is centered straight into the hole, so that the screw head is flat against the bracket.




- Now adjust the engine block heater in the rubber coated clamp so that the hoses are properly fitted on the engine block heater's connections.
- Tighten the screw to the rubber coated clamp.
- Tighten the hose clamps to the engine block heater.
- Install the double clamp to the cable for the alternator in the engine block heater's upper hose.




- Lubricate the O-ring on the connector for the heater's cable with low temperature grease P/N 1161427.
