In order to be able to remove the engine mount bracket, the engine must be lifted quite far using the engine support bridge -10-222 A-. To prevent damage to the drive axles from bending significantly, it is necessary to disengage the drive axles from the transmission.

Removing

-- Remove the engine cover/upper air filter housing. Refer to ENGINE COVER/UPPER AIR FILTER HOUSING .

WARNING:

Fuel system is under pressure.

Always wear protective eye-wear and protective clothing to prevent injuries and fuel from coming in contact with your skin.
Before loosening line connections, place a cloth around the connection point. Then release pressure by carefully pulling off the line.
For safety reasons, interrupt the current supply to the fuel pump, refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS before opening the fuel system because the fuel pump is activated by the driver door contact switch.

-- Disconnect the lines -1, 2 and 3-. Press the release buttons.

Installing

NOTE:

When turning the camshaft, the crankshaft must not be at TDC. The valves and/or pistons may be damaged.

The engine must be no more than warm to touch.

For the correct tightening specifications, refer to TOOTHED BELT, WITHOUT A DIVIDED TOOTHED BELT GUARD .

-- Place the toothed belt onto the crankshaft toothed belt gear (observe the direction of rotation if reinstalling the old belt).

-- Secure the lower toothed belt guard to the block using the two lower bolts.

-- Install the vibration damper using new bolts. Tightening specification: 20 Nm + 90° (1/4) additional turn.

-- Set the crankshaft and camshaft to TDC for cylinder 1 -arrows-.
