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.
