Fitting the power train, B235R, B205L/R

Warning

A large number of hoses, cables, etc., are secured with cable ties. After tightening, the ties are cut off and leave more or less sharp edges at the fastening point. Watch out for the risk of cuts due to these sharp ends on the cable ties!

25. Tighten the top bolt to the A/C compressor and reconnect the electric connection.

26. Tighten the top exhaust pipe nuts.

Tightening torque 25 Nm (18 lbf ft)

Important

To reduce the risk of hoses mounted on the delivery side of the turbocharger coming loose due to low friction at high air pressures, the hoses and connecting pieces must be cleaned thoroughly before fitting. Use a rag dampened with 30 15 815 Cleaning agent to wipe clean inside the ends of the hoses. Clean also the connecting pieces. If hose clips are rusty or damaged, they must be replaced with new ones to maintain the correct clamping force.


27. Fit the hose between the water cooler and the coolant pump and the hose between the charge air cooler and turbo.

28. Attach the hose to the expansion tank. Fit the upper hose from the radiator to the cylinder head.
