Air Injection: Service Precautions


Rules for cleanliness
When working on the exhaust gas turbocharger, pay careful attention to the following 5 rules:
^ Thoroughly clean all unions and the adjacent areas before disconnecting.
^ Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover. Do not use fluffy cloths!
^ Carefully cover opened components or seal, if the repair cannot be carried out immediately.
^ Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (e.g. in tool boxes etc.).
^ When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air if this can be avoided. Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely necessary.

Safety precautions
Observe the following if test and measuring instruments are required during a test drive:
^ Test and measuring instruments must be secured to the rear seat and operated by a 2nd person from this location.

CAUTION! If test and measuring instruments are operated from the front passenger's seat and the vehicle is involved in an accident, there is a possibility that the person sitting in this seat may receive serious injuries when the airbag is triggered.
