It is recommended to remove the engine together with the gearbox. To remove the engine, use a crane, hoist, winch, etc. with a lifting capacity of 300 kg.

Please note: The engine hoses are secured with three types of clamps: screw, spring, and band. Band clamps are disposable; when installing the engine, they must be replaced with screw or spring clamps.

Caution! Fuel hoses may only be secured with spring clamps; screw or band clamps are not permitted.

Removal and installation of the engine is described using a diesel engine as an example; all other engines are removed and installed in a similar manner.

1. Remove the battery (see subsection 10.2).

2. Drain the engine cooling system (see subsection 5.13).

3. Drain the oil from the engine crankcase (see subsection 3.6).

4. Remove the engine undertray by unscrewing its mounting bolts (see figure Engine mudguard).

6. Loosen the mounting bolts and disconnect the left wheel drive from the axle flange. Tie the drive to the body with wire so that it does not interfere.

7. Disconnect the exhaust pipe from the exhaust manifold (see subsection 6.2 and subsection 6.3).

8. Remove the front buffer.

9. Unscrew bolt 3 (see figure Bottom charge air duct) fastenings of the lower air duct, remove clamps 4 and then air duct 1 with hose 2.

10. Remove the rear support 2 (see figure Rear powertrain support) with bracket 3, having unscrewed bolts 1 and 4 securing it to the body and gearbox.

11. Remove the upper engine cover (see subsection 2.1).

12. Remove the air filter (see subsection 4.1).

13. Disconnect the generator wires from the retainer on the battery cover.

14. Disconnect the hoses from the radiator (see subsection 5.3).

15. For vehicles with air conditioning, you need to disconnect the high and low pressure lines and disconnect the high pressure line from the compressor. Please note that the air conditioning system can only be refilled at a service station.

16. Remove the top cross member of the front body (the hood lock is attached to it).

17. Remove clamps 4 and air duct 6 with hose 8 (see figure Engine compartment).

18. Remove clamps 1 and disconnect the coolant supply hoses 5, fuel supply hoses 3 and fuel drain hoses 2 from the pipes on the engine.

19. Disconnect the hose from the expansion tank 7 from below.

20. Disconnect the vacuum hose 5 (see figure Throttle body) from the 4 throttle valve drive.



21. Disconnect hose 3 from exhaust gas recirculation valve 1.

22.Move the spring clamp and disconnect hose 3 (see figureHeater hoses) from tee 4.

23. Move the spring clamp and disconnect hose 2 from pipe 1 of the heater radiator.

24. Disconnect hose 6 from vacuum pump 5.

25. Disconnect connector 1 (see the figure Engine control unit) from engine control unit 5.

26. Disconnect connectors 2 and 3 of the wire harness and remove them from the holder.

27. Unhook the 4 wire harness holder from the mudguard.

28. Unscrew three bolts 2 (see the figure Gear shift rod bracket) bracket mounts 3.

29. Remove the clutch drive tube from bracket 4.

30. Remove lock washer 2 (see the picture of the gear shift rods), remove the gear selector lever and set it aside together with the cable 1. Remove the gear selector lever axle bushings.

31. Unscrew the fastening nut 8, remove the gear shift lever and put it aside together with the cable 3.

32. Disconnect connector 4 from the reverse light switch.

33. Disconnect the ground wire from the side member.

34. Disconnect connector 7 and wire 6 from the starter solenoid relay.



35. Unscrew two bolts 2 and remove the clutch release drive slave cylinder 1 from the gearbox housing. Without disconnecting the hose from it, move the cylinder to the side.

Caution! Do not press the clutch pedal when the slave cylinder is removed.

36. Disconnect the connectors 1 of the wiring harness and remove them from the holder under the starter.

37. Attach the engine to the lifting eyes and tighten the hoist cables.



38. Unscrew the three bolts 1 securing the right support 3 of the power unit. If the engine drops, lift it with a hoist (2 – support bracket).



39. Unscrew the two bolts 2 securing the left support 1 of the power unit.



40. After slightly lowering the power unit, carefully remove it from the engine compartment.

41. Place the power unit on a disassembly stand or a strong, stable support and remove the transmission.

Installation

1. Replace all removed gaskets and sealing rings with new ones.

2. Replace all self-locking nuts with new ones.

3. Before installing the exhaust pipe, apply G 052 112 A3 paste for threaded connections subject to heat to the exhaust manifold studs.

4. Insert the dropped gearbox centering bushings.

5. Lubricate the splines of the transmission input shaft with grease.

6. Adjust the gearbox drive.

7. Fill with coolant and engine oil.
