From the engine compartment, the engine is dismantled together with the gearbox by lifting with a hoist or crane. Before dismantling the engine, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the provisions of the chapter «Gearbox - removal and installation». It is not necessary to disconnect the exhaust and intake manifolds, the fuel injection system, the generator and the starter when dismantling the engine.
Due to the fact that when removing the power plant, you will need to disconnect some nodes in the lower part of the car, you will need four stand goats, as well as a garage jack. Before removing the engine, the fenders should be covered with blankets or a thick cloth to prevent damage.
Depending on the year of manufacture and vehicle equipment, the routing of electrical wiring or hoses, low pressure and cooling system in the engine compartment may differ from those shown in this manual. Due to the fact that it is not possible to give a description for each configuration, each hose or wire must be marked with adhesive tape before disconnecting.
Electrical connection plugs usually have metal clips. In order to unclench them, it is enough to press on their side parts.
The procedure for dismantling the power plant is shown on the example of a car with a body «sedan» with a K7M gasoline engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters.
It is of fundamental importance when removing the engine that all pipelines, hoses and wires are disconnected, the connections of which must be properly marked at the same time so that they can be fixed in place during installation.
Removing
1. Disconnect the ground wire terminal (-) from the battery. Attention! At the same time, some data is deleted from the memory of storage devices, for example, an access code is erased from the radio receiver, which prevents unauthorized use of the receiver. Before disconnecting the battery, read the instructions in chapter «Removing and installing the battery».
2. Remove the hood, see the relevant chapter.
