Exhaust System

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Ring Spanner 7-Piece Set (3337)


When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:

• Route lines of all types (for example, fuel, hydraulic, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed.

• To prevent damage to the lines, make sure there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

• After exhaust system repairs, make sure the exhaust system is not under stress and that it has sufficient clearance from the bodywork. If necessary, loosen the double clamps and clamp and align the exhaust pipe so that sufficient clearance is maintained to the bodywork and the support rings carry uniform loads.

• Replace the self-locking nuts.

• Do not use sealants containing silicone. Particles of silicone drawn into the engine, will not be burnt in the engine and damage the oxygen sensors.
