Exhaust system components,
removing and installing
Note:
After exhaust system repairs, make sure
exhaust system is not under stress and that it
has sufficient clearance from the bodywork. If
necessary, loosen double clamps and clamp
and align exhaust pipe so that sufficient
clearance is maintained to the bodywork and
support rings carry uniform loads.
Do not use any silicone sealant. Traces of
silicone components which are sucked into the
engine are not burned there, and they damage
the oxygen sensors.
Always replace self-locking nuts.
Components marked with * are tested via On
Board Diagnostic (OBD)
