Release nitrogen oxide sensor (1) with special tool 11 7 030 .

Tightening torque: 18 31 2AZ .

Installation note:

Threads of new nitrogen oxide sensors are coated with Never-Seez compound.

If a nitrogen oxide sensor is reused, apply a thin coating of Never-Seez compound to thread only.

Do not clean the sensor section which protrudes into the exhaust branch and ensure that it avoids all contact with lubricants.
