Installing engine

WARNING

ATF!

- Possible danger of injury or damage (swollen hoses, skin irritation, danger of slipping, etc.)

-> Before lines are opened, place a cloth underneath them!
-> Components that come into contact with ATF must be cleaned IMMEDIATELY with water!
-> Take appropriate protective measures (e.g. use gloves, safety goggles, oil binding material)
-> Collect emerging ATF!

NOTICE

Opened refrigerant system for repairs.

- Moisture penetrated into the refrigerant system.
- Soiling of refrigerant circuit.
- Risk of saturation and irreparable damage to desiccator.
- If the desiccator has disintegrated, the desiccator, compressor and evaporator may be damaged.

-> If the air humidity is too high and if the refrigerant circuit is open for some time, it will be necessary to replace the desiccator.

Information

- Set the steering wheel with the wheels in straight-ahead position. To do this, engage the steering column lock or clamp the steering wheel in centre position with a steering-wheel holder. If this is not done, the airbag contact unit will have to be moved to centre position after installation of the steering gear. -> 945019 Removing and installing steering-column switch Service and Repair
