which have been stored unwrapped (e.g. on a shelf or in a tool

3.2

Foreign bodies in the engine

To prevent the penetration of foreign bodies, open channels of
the inlet connection and exhaust tract must be sealed with suita‐
ble plugs during assembly works on the engine, for example from
the screw plug set for engine - VAS 6122- .
3.3

Contact corrosion

The use of unsuitable connection elements causes contact cor‐
rosion (screws, nuts, washers, ...).
This is why only connection elements with a special surface coat‐
ings are fitted.
Therefore, the rubber or plastic parts and the adhesives are made
from electrically non-conductive materials.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of parts, please use
new parts in general ⇒ Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts

3.4

Cable routing and securing

♦ To ensure the original installation position, e.g. lines for fuel,
hydraulics, vacuum, activated charcoal filter system lines or
electric cables must be marked before removal. Make sketch‐
es or take photographs if necessary.
♦ Sufficient clearance from all moving or hot components must
be ensured in the engine compartment due to its cramped
construction. This prevents damage to lines.
3.5

Assembly of radiators and capacitors

The radiator, capacitor and charge air cooler may have minor in‐
dentations on the fins, even if assembly is correct. This is not a
case of damage. Radiator, capacitors or charge air cooler must
not be replaced because of these indentations.
