CAUTION:

Tighten the clamps -A- on the charge air pipes to 5.5 Nm . An insufficient or excessive torque can cause the charge air hose to come off the charge air pipe while driving.

NOTE:

Before testing or performing a repair, check all air guide pipes and hoses and all vacuum lines for leaks and secure seating.

The hose connections as well as air duct pipes and hoses must be free of oil and grease before installing.

Secure all hose connections with standard production hose clamps. Refer to the Parts Information.

In order to be able to securely mount the air guide hoses on their connectors, the screws on the used clamps must be sprayed with a rust remover before installing.
