Engine installation (Skoda Octavia 5E)

Tightening torques

Note: Tightening torques are given for lightly greased or oiled, phosphated or oxidized bolts and nuts. Additional lubricants are permitted (for example, motor or transmission oils), except graphite-containing or MoS2. Do not use degreased parts.

Note: Replace the screws that are tightened by turning the specified angle. Replace the self-locking nuts, as well as the lip seals, O-rings and gaskets. The hose connections and the charge air pipes and hoses must be free of oil and degreased before installation. Secure all hose connections with the appropriate serial clamps. All cable ties must be reinstalled in their original locations during installation.

Install the intermediate plate.

Note: The example shown is a vehicle with a DSG gearbox.

Insert centering bushings "A" to center the gearbox when installing it on the engine, if there are none in the cylinder block.

If the crankshaft has a needle bearing, it must be removed. If the clutch release bearing shows signs of wear, replace it. Apply a moderate amount of grease to the splines of the primary shaft. Check the centering of the clutch disc.

Cars with DSG automatic transmission

If there is no needle bearing in the crankshaft, install it.
