nostic tester.

All cable ties that are opened or cut through when the engine
is removed must be renewed/replaced in the same position
when the engine is installed.

Leave the ignition key in the ignition lock to prevent the steer‐
ing lock engaging.

Seal disconnected fuel and breather lines so that the system
is not contaminated with dirt.

Some components cannot be removed, or removed only with
difficulty, with the engine installed. Therefore, you should de‐
termine all defective components before removing engine and
renew them while engine is removed.

To prevent damage to removed components, place them in
the container for removed parts - V.A.G 1698- .
Caution
Observe the following during all assembly work, particularly in
the engine compartment due to the restricted space:
♦ Route lines of any kind and cables so that original routing
is restored.

hot components.
