Note: All work on the engine must only be carried out by qualified personnel.
When carrying out repairs on a vehicle, the basic safety rules must be observed.
The quality of the repair depends primarily on the care with which it is carried out. To ensure a quality repair it is necessary:
- use recommended professional equipment and original spare parts,
- observe the tightening torques of the screwed connections,
- follow the recommendations for the mandatory replacement of parts, removal and installation procedures.
- clean and degrease the mating surfaces to ensure the required mating.
Attention:
- The sealing surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease to ensure the required tightness (avoid any fingerprints).
- Do not scratch the connecting aluminum surfaces, any damage to the contact surfaces may cause leakage.
The quality of the car's construction requires that nothing be left to chance during the repair process. Hence. All removed parts must be installed in their original position (e.g. installation of heat shields, wiring, piping). It is necessary to use professional materials, applying them deliberately. For example, do not apply too much sealant to the contact surfaces, otherwise there is a risk of blocking the oil or cooling lines of the engine.
Caution: Excess applied sealant may be squeezed out when tightening threaded connections. Sealant entering the coolant may cause damage to some components (engine, radiator, etc.).
To perform repairs, you must use special tools and fixtures. This will significantly increase the safety of the work and the quality of the repair, since the tools and fixtures are tested and approved by the manufacturer.
Certain devices and parts must be handled with the utmost care and attention to ensure safety, cleanliness and repair technology.
A suitable tool in good condition must be used. Using the multifunctional tool (such as regulated avoid as much as possible,
When working with heavy components and assemblies, it is necessary to use suitable supports.
Before starting work, make sure that the workplace is clean and tidy.
Use personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, work shoes, respirator, overalls, etc.).
Be sure to follow the instructions associated with the repair procedures.
Do not smoke while working in the vehicle.
Do not use toxic materials in unventilated areas.
Do not ingest any chemicals (brake fluid, coolant, etc.).
Comply with environmental regulations:
- sort waste according to its specific qualities,
- do not burn waste materials and consumables (e.g. tires).
Please read and understand the information contained in this manual carefully. This will reduce the risk of injury and prevent improper operations that could cause damage to the vehicle or make it dangerous to operate.
Following the recommended procedures will help you perform quality service that will ensure the highest levels of vehicle performance and reliability.
Maintenance and repair operations must be carried out under certain conditions in order to ensure proper safety and reliability of the vehicle.
Sealable plastic bags and tape can be used to store components to be reinstalled later. This way the parts will not get dirty. Do not reuse plastic bags, they should be thrown away immediately after use.
