- 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.

- 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.
