Cleaning and lubricating the input shaft
The input shaft must be lubricated before a manual transmission is installed. See Input shaft, cleaning .
Scheme 84
Check that the transmission and engine mating surfaces are absolutely clean.
Also check that the guide sleeves towards the engine are in position and are free of faults.
Lubricate the holes in the gearbox (for the guide pins). Use a little grease.
Scheme 85
Adjust height and angle with the mobile jack and the gearbox fixture.
Locate the gearbox on the engine.
Ensure that the gearbox goes straight in, in relation to the engine, and that no deviation occurs in the clutch driven plate centre.
Scheme 86
Install the screws for the gearbox and engine. Tighten the two larger screws. Tighten to 50 Nm . Tighten the two smaller screws. Tighten to 25 Nm .
Remove the fixture from the gearbox.
Scheme 87
Install
- the screw for the gearbox and engine. Tighten to 25 Nm
- the clamp with the wiring and the screw. Tighten to 10 Nm .

- the pipe screw for the water-heated crankcase ventilation.
Scheme 90
Removing the fuel rail
Remove the clamp for the injector wiring at the rear of the cylinder head.
Separate the fuel line quick-release connector.
Remove the fuel rail mounting screws.
Spray universal oil or similar around the injector connectors on the intake manifold.
Gently work the fuel rail and injectors loose.
Carefully put the fuel rail to one side.
Removing ignition coils
Mark up the ignition coils so that the original positions can be established.
Remove the mounting screws for the ignition coils and the screws at the two ground terminals.
Disconnect the connector for the variable valve timing solenoid.
Lift up and place the ignition coils and wiring to one side.
Remove
- the crankcase ventilation hose from the top of the camshaft cover
- the camshaft position sensor (CMP) housing and trigger wheel
- the cover at the rear edge of the intake camshaft.
Scheme 91
Remove
- the EVAP hose from the intake manifold
- the by-pass valve vacuum hose
- the upper row of screws holding the intake manifold to the cylinder head. Slacken off the lower screws
- the pipe screw for the crankcase ventilation from the underside of the intake manifold.
Disconnect the connector for the electronic throttle module.
Lift up and remove the intake manifold.
Note. Make sure that the fuel delivery pipe is not damaged.
Scheme 92
Disconnect the connectors for the ABS sensor and level sensor in the expansion tank.
Lift up the expansion tank and servo oil reservoir. Place them on top of the engine.
Note. Make sure that power steering fluid does not leak from the breather hole in the filler cap.
Take off the auxiliaries belt.
Remove
- the front timing cover
- the hose for the water-heated crankcase ventilation from the thermostat housing.
Separate the connector for the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
Draining coolant
Raise the car.
Remove the splash guard under the engine.
Open the engine nipple.
Drain the coolant into a container.
Close the nipple.
Drain the coolant and loosen the front exhaust pipe
- Remove the cable from the battery negative terminal. First read «Battery, disconnecting»(ref-438278-S34403393232011120100000) .
- Remove the cap on the expansion tank.
- Remove the splash guard under the engine.
- Place a container under the engine's drain valve and drain the coolant.
- Move the container to the radiator's drain valve and drain any remaining coolant.
- Close the nipples.
- Remove the nuts for the manifold/front exhaust pipe.
Drain the fuel line
The illustration does not match completely since the power steering fluid tank now has another placement.
- Depressurize the fuel system acc. to «Fuel system pressure release»(ref-403959-S38366318392011061000000) .
- Disconnect the fuel line quick-release connector at the engine NOTE: Protect the openings against impurities in a suitable way. Make sure that all cleanliness conditions for working with the fuel injection system are followed.
- Put the line to the side.
- Detach the EVAP line at the quick-release connector.
Drain the coolant and detach the front exhaust pipe
Detach the negative battery cable.
Remove the cap on the expansion tank.
Remove the engine splash guard.
Open the nipples on the engine and radiator. Use hoses to lead off coolant.
