Tightening Specifications

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

CAUTION:

After installing a new short block it is required after the installation of the high pressure line to tensioning claw the tensioning brackets of the fuel injectors to the specified tightening specification. Refer to OVERVIEW - FUEL INJECTORS . Only tighten the tensioning claws >>hand tight<< after delivery when assembling the high pressure lines in order to align the fuel injectors. Engine damage may occur if not observed.

NOTE:

After installing new parts (engine/partial engine, cylinder head, camshaft housing or turbocharger), limit the oil pressure regulation for approximately 1000 km to the higher pressure stage. From this, the higher friction is taken into account when breaking in new components, and the optimum removal of particles from the initial wear in is ensured. Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester for this.
