- The clearance between the engine support -2- and the right longitudinal member must be -a- = 13.5 mm.
- The casting edge of the engine support -2- must be parallel to the support arm -1- (dimension -x- = dimension -x-).
Distance -a- = 13.5 mm can also be checked with corresponding round stock.
-- Tighten the bolts on the engine mount.
-- Make sure that the edges on the support arm -1- and transmission mount -2- are parallel on the transmission side.
