Checking

  1. Remove securing bolt (arrow) for power steering reservoir.
CAUTIONThe fuel system is pressurized. Before opening the system place a cloth around the connection. Then dissipate the pressure by carefully loosening the connection.
  1. Disconnect fuel supply line -1- and fuel return line -2- by pressing release tabs.

Scheme 67

Scheme 67
  1. Check following dimensions at engine/transmission assembly mounting (right side)
  1. Both bolt heads -2- must be parallel to edge of support arm -3-.
  2. There must be a distance of -x- = 10...13 mm between engine mount -1- and engine support -4-.
  1. Check gap -x- with 12 mm iron bar (or support bridge 2011).
  1. Bar must be easy to insert

If the distance measured is too large or small, proceed as follows
