    Information 

    When you loosen the fastening screws, engine oil will run out of the vacuum pump. Place a suitable container underneath to collect the emerging engine oil. The engine-oil level must be checked and topped up afterwards (following installation).

    Unscrew M6 x 20 external Torx screws -4-  and remove the vacuum pump.

    Make sure not to loosen the internal Torx screws.
