Warning

The work involved in removing the fuel pipe requires working with the vehicle's fuel system. The following points should therefore be heeded in conjunction with these measures:

• Have a class BE fire extinguisher on hand! Be aware of the risk of sparks, i.e. in connection with electric circuits, short-circuiting, etc.

• Absolutely No Smoking!

• Ensure good ventilation! If there is approved ventilation for evacuating fuel fumes then this must be used.

• Wear protective gloves! Prolonged exposure of the hands to fuel can cause irritation to the skin.

• Wear protective goggles.



Important

Be particulary observant regardning cleanliness when working on the fuel system. Loss of function may occur due to very small particles. Prevent dirt and grime from entering the fuel system by cleaning the connections and plugging pipes and lines during disassembly. Use 82 92 948 Plugs, A/C system assembly. Keep components free from contaminants during storage.


46. Separate the fuel hoses with 83 95 261 Tool, fuel line and plug them. Use a rag to soak up any spilled fuel.

47. Undo the upper clip from the power steering return line. Attach a 30 07 739 Hose pinch-off pliers on the power steering hose as close to the pump as possible. Remove the power steering reservoir and place it on top of the engine. Make sure none of the fluid leaks out of the reservoir.

48. Remove the banjo screw on the power steering pump.


49. Man: Remove the clip on the slave cylinder and detach the connection to the delivery pipe. Refit the clip. Bend upwards and place the connection higher than the brake fluid reservoir so that fluid does not run out.


50. Man: Detach the connector from the reversing light switch on the gearbox.

51. Disconnect the ground cable from the gearbox.

52. Aut: Remove the clamp holding the battery cable on the gearbox.

53. Aut: Detach the gearbox connector from the structural member. Detach the connector pointing forwards from the bracket.


54. Aut: Lay the cable over the gearbox to facilitate dismantling the engine.
