The silicone hose of the ignition coil must not be contaminated by fuel as this can lead to failure of the ignition coil.
- When working on the fuel system, cover the ignition coils with suitable materials and remove where required.
- Do not oil or grease the silicone tube of the spark plug socket. The silicone tube is coated with talcum powder to reduce the pulling forces.
NOTE:
RISK OF DAMAGE
Damage to the injector tips and Teflon ring.
Improper handling of the injector tips and Teflon ring can lead to malfunctioning of the injector.

Improper handling of the injector tips and Teflon ring can lead to malfunctioning of the injector.
- Avoid mechanical contact with injector tip.
- When exchanging Teflon ring, hands and work surface must be clean and free of oil. Do not use any lubricating agents.
- Do not use fingernails to slide Teflon ring on.
NOTE:
RISK OF DAMAGE
Damage to injectors.
Excessive force may damage the injector and this means having to replace the injector.

- Twist the injectors with a torsional movement of maximum 13 Nm.
- In the event that the specified value for the tensile force is exceeded: Replace injectors.
- Use the special tool 2 358 417 to remove the injectors.
Special tool 2 358 417 is used to ensure that the tensile force is not exceeded.
The special tool 2 358 417 consists of:
- (1) Threaded sleeves
- (2) Pull-out thread (left-hand thread)
- (3) Mounting for the injectors
- Unscrew the intake for injectors (1) with the special tool 2 358 417.
- Press the lock (1) and remove threaded sleeve (2) from the special tool 2 358 417.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The extraction thread is a left-hand thread.
The extraction thread is a left-hand thread.
- Screw in pull-out thread (1) on the special tool
2 358 417 fully.
- Insert the threaded sleeves (1) again and screw threaded sleeves completely onto the intake for the injectors.
- Then tighten screws (arrows) on special tool
2 358 417 to 5 Nm.
- Adjust the torque wrench to 13 Nm, clockwise rotation .
- Turn torque wrench (1) in clockwise direction with special tool 0 496 106 (11 8 720) until the injector is pulled out.
- Disassemble all injectors individually.
- Before removing the special tool 2 358 417 with the injectors, check if all the injectors were completely pulled out of the cylinder head.
This can be recognized by the completely visible threads of the threaded sleeves (1).
- Loosen screws on special tool 2 358 417.
- Carefully remove the special tool 2 358 417 with the injectors (1) vertically straight up from the cylinder head.
- Place the combination of the special tool 2 358 417 and the injectors (1) flat onto a clean table.
- Unlock the stand lock (1) from the top.
- Turn the unlocked stand (1) by 90°.
- Release and remove the injector downwards.
