Note: The power steering pump (5) and the air conditioning compressor (6) are removed as an assembly without disconnecting the corresponding lines. After removal from the engine, they must be suspended and secured in the engine compartment so that they do not interfere with the removal and subsequent installation of the engine assembly. Note: After disconnecting the return fuel line (11) and before removing the front mount fastening screws (12), it is necessary to disconnect and remove the exhaust system components and the EGR system and the transmission fastening and control components (propeller shaft, clutch drive, manual transmission, automatic transmission oil control and cooling elements). A description of these operations is given in the relevant sections of this book.
It is also necessary to jack up the engine from below.
10. Disconnect the power unit from the supports.
11. Once again, carefully check that all connected elements are disconnected from the engine and that nothing interferes with its removal.
12. Having securely fastened the cable to the engine, using the winch (1), carefully remove the engine assembly from the engine compartment.
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, followed by all necessary checks and adjustments.
