Unscrew the "arrow" screws. Using a sharp spatula, cut the sealant between the lower timing chain cover and the upper part of the oil pan.
Loosen screws -1...14- and remove the upper part of the pan. If necessary, separate the upper part of the oil pan with light blows of a rubber hammer.
Caution! First detach the upper part of the oil pan from the gearbox side. When detaching, act carefully so as not to bend the timing chain cover.
Installation
Note: The sealant must not be expired (see expiration date). The upper part of the oil pan must be installed within 5 minutes after applying the silicone sealant. Replace the screws tightened to a certain angle. Replace the gaskets, lip seals and self-locking nuts.
Remove any remaining sealant from the cylinder block, upper oil pan and lower timing chain cover using a chemical sealant remover.
Note: Check the timing chain cover for deformation. To do this, first install the upper part of the oil pan in place without sealant and check the gap between the cover and the upper part of the oil pan. If deformation is detected and the cover can no longer be straightened, it must be replaced after installing the upper part of the oil pan.
Clean and degrease the mating surfaces. Check the oil channels in the upper part of the oil pan and in the cylinder block for contamination. Cut off the tip of the tube of sealant at the front mark (hole diameter about 2mm).
Caution! Risk of clogging the lubrication system due to excess sealant. The sealant bead must not be thicker than specified.
Apply a strip of sealant "arrow" to the cleaned seating surface of the upper part of the oil pan, as shown in the figure. Thickness of the sealant strip: 2...3 mm.
