Engine, installing
NOTE:
- During assembly, replace self-locking nuts and bolts.
- Always replace bolts that are tightened to torque as well as sealing rings, gaskets and O-rings.
- Hose connections and charge air system hoses must be free of oil and grease before installing.
- Secure all hose connections using hose clamps .
- During installation, all cable ties must be re-installed at the same location.
Vehicles with manual transmission:
- When installing a new clutch disc in combination with a used SAC clutch pressure plate (self-adjusting pressure plate), the adjustment ring of the pressure plate must be turned back to impact. Otherwise pressure plate works with decreased contact pressure (clutch slips) →

- 30 CLUTCH for 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION 02X, FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
- 30 CLUTCH for 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION 0A3, ALL WHEEL DRIVE
NOTE:
- If clutch disc is not being replaced, the adjustment ring must not be turned back.
- New SAC-pressure plates are already pre-adjusted and must not be reset.
- Clean input shaft splines and (in case of used clutch plates) clean hub splines, remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of lubricant G 000 100 on splines. Do not grease guide sleeve.
- If necessary, check centering of clutch drive plate.
- Check clutch release bearing for wear and replace if necessary.
If plastic ring of clutch release bearing is loose:
- Use adhesive AMV 195 KD1 01 to glue plastic ring of clutch release bearing to bearing ring.
- 3 rectangular tabs - arrows - of the plastic ring reach into cutouts of bearing ring.
- If grooves with depth of more than 0.5 mm are present, release bearing must be replaced.
- A pilot needle bearing must be installed in crankshaft in engines for vehicles with manual transmission. Install needle bearing if necessary → Pulling out and driving in needle bearings from crankshaft .
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
- Clean transmission input shaft splines and splines of damper unit on flywheel, remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of lubricant G 000 100 on splines. Remove all excess grease.
All:
- Make sure centering sleeves for engine to transmission are installed in cylinder block. Install if necessary.
Fig 2: Identifying Intermediate Plate Is Hooked In At Sealing Flange And Is Pushed Onto Alignment Sleeves
- Make sure that the intermediate plate is hooked in at sealing flange and is pushed onto alignment sleeves - arrows -.
- Install intermediate plate between engine and transmission onto alignment sleeves.
- Adjoin engine to transmission and install one bolt hand-tight.
- Lower engine and at the same time guide threaded studs of engine mount into engine mount plates.
NOTE:
- Torque specifications only apply to lightly greased, oiled, phosphated or blackened nuts and bolts.
- Additional lubricants, such as engine or transmission oil are permissible, although lubricants containing graphite are not.
- Do not use any degreased parts.
- Tolerance for torque specifications ± 15%.
