Removal, separation and engine installation

Removal

It is not necessary to forget that fuel is an inflammable liquid in the higher measure! At work with power supply system components observe all taken measures of fire safety. Do not smoke, do not come nearer to a place of work with open fire or the redurable not protected by a lamp shade. Do not make system service in the premise equipped working on natural gas and heating devices equipped with a control torch (such as водогреи and dryers for clothes). Do not forget that fuel is among the cancerogenic substances promoting development of a cancer. Try not to suppose fuel hit on open sites of a body, — use protective rubber gloves, at casual unforeseen contact carefully wash out hands warm water with soap. Immediately collect the spilt fuel and do not put the rags impregnated with PETROLEUM PRODUCTS near to sources of open fire. Remember that the power supply system equipped with injection of fuel of models constantly is under pressure. Before to start a detachment of fuel lines, dump residual pressure in system (see the Head of the Power supply system and release more in detail). At service of components of the power supply system put on goggles. Constantly hold near at hand the class fire extinguisher In!


The path of a central air of air also constantly is under pressure that is why before рассоединением refrigerator lines it is necessary to make a discharge of system in the conditions of a specialised workshop.


The standard complete set of all modern cars includes system SRS which basic components are safety pillows. Before to start performance of any works near to an arrangement of gauges of directed overloads SRS, around a steering column or the panel of devices, without fail disconnect system in order to avoid casual operation of pillows of the safety, fraught with reception of serious traumas.


Composers of the present Management recommend to make engine removal in gathering with transmission. Unit assemblage falls downwards and is taken from under the car in view of what it is necessary to take care of ways of reliable fixing of a vehicle in the lifted position.

Petrol engines

  1. Turn a lock ring and disunite the big multicontact socket of conducting of the engine in a forward part of the assembly block of the relay in an impellent compartment.

 

    1. Sockets of all other brought to the main plait of electroconducting of plaits of an impellent compartment.
 

Diesel engines

  1. Turn a lock ring and disunite the big multicontact socket of conducting of the engine in a forward part of the assembly block of the relay in an impellent compartment.

 

    1. Turn out bolts and disconnect a loop from клеммного a tip плюсового wires of the battery and two loops from a tip of a negative wire.

 

    1. Open a cover of the impellent compartment of the assembly block located in the left back corner and take the relay of green colour and a safety lock with the колодками.

 

    1. On engines of 1.7 l DOHC lift the lever and disconnect from the block of engine management established over the inlet pipeline (ECM) an extreme back socket.
    2. Liberate plaits of electroconducting from all intermediate clamps and place them from above over the engine.
    3. On engines of 1.7 l SOHC disconnect electroconducting from following components:
