 Work Description

Charge air cooler

The charge air cooler 3 is fitted directly on the induction pipe 1.
Prior to removal, the cooling water in the cooling system must be
drained. When fitting, tighten the charge air cooler retaining
bolts to 42 Nm.

Cylinder head
In order to remove the cylinder heads, the induction pipe 1 and
the water pipe 2 must be removed. Prior to this, the charge air
cooler 3 on the induction pipe must be removed.

Changing engine
Follow the instructions in the Work Description applying to the

! WARNING!

The ignition temperature is lower for ethanol fuel than

for diesel, which causes an increased risk of fire.
Therefore be careful when working on the engine.
