Catalytic Converter, Removing And Installing

Removing







- Disconnect 6-pin harness connector (black) -5- to Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39- before catalytic converter and 4- pin harness connector (brown) -2- to Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) -G130-.

NOTE:







Coolant reservoir screw (arrow) must be removed and coolant reservoir must be placed to the side in order to access harness connector. The coolant hoses remain connected.







- Remove air filter cover (arrow).







- Remove bolts (arrows).
- Disengage Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve -N80- (item 1) at air guide -2- and remove air guide.







- Disconnect electrical harness connectors at:
1. Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve -N80-
2. Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor -G70-
3. Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve -N75-

- Disconnect hoses -4- to... -7-.
- Disconnect hose to Secondary Air Injection (AIR) pump.
- Expose electrical cables.
- Unbolt air filter housing -8- and remove, to do so, disconnect cable to Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve -N80- on underside of intake air hose.
- Unbolt bolts which can be reached from the top between front exhaust pipe and catalytic converter.







- Remove heat shield above right drive axle, to do so, remove bolts (arrows).







- Disconnect exhaust system at front double clamp (arrows).







- Remove bolts (lower arrows) front exhaust pipe/catalytic converter.
- Unbolt bracket (upper arrow) for exhaust system on transmission.

NOTE: Decoupling element in front exhaust pipe must not be bent more than 10 degrees, otherwise it may be damaged.

- Remove front exhaust pipe.







- Remove nuts (arrows) for turbocharger/catalytic converter.
- Take catalytic converter up and out.

Installing
Installation is the reverse of removal, noting the following:

NOTE:
- All cable ties opened or cut during engine removal must be reinstalled at the same locations during installation.
- Replace gaskets and self-locking nuts.
- Wires of oxygen sensors must always be secured in the same position when installing so that contact with the exhaust pipe is avoided.
- Install exhaust system free of stress.
