Engine, Installing

Note the following whenever working inside the engine compartment due to limited space:

• Route all lines and wires in their original locations.

• Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

• When moving the engine/transmission assembly into the body, it is always necessary to bring the engine carrier into contact with the body using the scissor lift table (VAS 6131). "Pulling up" the engine carrier with the bolts damages the thread inserts!

Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal. When doing this note the following:

- Move the drivetrain under the vehicle using the scissor lift table (VAS 6131). Pay attention to the locating pins (T10300).

- Install the subframe to the vehicle.

- Reconnect all lines, hoses and electrical connections that were disconnected for the removal procedure.

- Install the plenum chamber cover.

- Install the windshield wiper arms.

- Fill the power steering system with fluid.

- Fill the coolant. Refer to => [ Coolant, Filling ] Coolant, Filling.

- Fill the engine oil, if necessary.

- Connect the battery.

- Adjust the selector lever cable.

- Fill the automatic transmission with fluid.

- Connect the vehicle diagnostic tester.

- Perform a vehicle system test using "Guided Fault Finding" in the vehicle diagnostic tester.

- End the vehicle system test in such a way that possibly existing Diagnostic Trouble Code's (DTC's) are automatically erased.

- Create the readiness code with a road test.

Always observe all safety precautions when performing the road test.

- Perform another vehicle system test and correct any faults.

• If, during the road test, it is discovered that the steering wheel is not exactly straight when driving in a straight line, then perform a wheel alignment.
