Engine Mountings, Checking and Adjusting

Engine mountings, checking and adjusting

Checking





- Remove securing bolt (arrow) for power steering reservoir.

CAUTION
The fuel system is pressurized. Before opening the system place a cloth around the connection. Then dissipate the pressure by carefully loosening the connection.





- Disconnect fuel supply line -1- and fuel return line -2- by pressing release tabs.





- Check following dimensions at engine/transmission assembly mounting (right side):

^ Both bolt heads -2- must be parallel to edge of support arm -3-.
^ There must be a distance of -x- = 10... 13 mm between engine mount -1- and engine support -4-.

- Check gap -x- with 12 mm iron bar (or support bridge 2011).

^ Bar must be easy to insert

If the distance measured is too large or small, proceed as follows:

Adjusting

Special tools and equipment required





^ Support bracket 10-222 A





- Disconnect air hose -2- at Throttle valve control module -J338-.
- Disconnect electrical connector for Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor -G70-, item -3-.
- Remove bolts -1- and -4-.
- Take out air cleaner housing.





- Secure one shackle 10-222 A/12 item -1 - to engine lifting eye at right rear.
- Set up support bracket 10-222 A with adapters 10-222 A/3 on surface of panel flange.
- Attach spindles to lifting eye and to shackle.
- Lift engine evenly short distance with both spindles.





- Unscrew bolts of assembly mounting on engine (arrows)...





- ...and on transmission (arrows) one after another.
- Replace all 5 bolts one by one (if not already replaced when engine was installed) and tighten them finger tight.
- Loosen bolts for support arms on right and left approx. 2 turns.





- Move engine slightly with an assembly lever.

^ Both bolt heads -2- must be parallel to edge of support arm -3-.
^ There must be a distance of -x- = 10... 13 mm between engine mount -1- and engine support -4-.

- Check gap -x- with 12 mm iron bar (or support bridge 2011).

^ Bar must be easy to insert.

- Tighten bolts -2- for engine assembly mounting.





- Ensure that edges on support arm (on transmission assembly mounting) -1- and transmission mount -2- are parallel.

^ Distance -x- = -x-

- Tighten bolts for transmission assembly mounting.

The remaining installation steps are performed in the reverse sequence.
