Exhaust System: Service and Repair






Exhaust System, Aligning

Align the exhaust system when cold.

- Loosen the front double clamp bolts.

- Push the exhaust system far enough forward so that the pretension at the retaining rings at the rear muffler = 15 to 17 mm - a -.






- Install the clamping sleeve so that the end of the bolt does not extend beyond the lower edge of the clamping sleeve.






Threaded connection points toward the right.

- Tighten the clamping sleeve bolts uniformly to 25 Nm.

Aligning the Tailpipe

- Align the rear muffler so the distance - a - between the bumper opening and right and left tail pipes is equal.






Distance - b - from the bumper opening to the tail pipes must be parallel.

- Loosen the rear muffler mounts to align the tail pipes, if necessary.
