Installing
Note
♦ Pay attention to the 'use by date' on sealant.
♦ The oil pan must be installed immediately after apply-
ing the silicone sealant -047 198 049- (THREE BOND
1215 J) . If -D 176 404 A2- is used installation must be
performed within 5 minutes.
♦ The assistance of a second mechanic is required to
install the oil pan. Press the front coolant pipe slightly
towards the outside.
–
Cut off nozzle tube at the front marking (∅ of nozzle
approx. 3 mm).
♦
Thickness of sealant bead: 2 to 3 mm
Note
The sealant bead must not be thicker than 3 mm other-
wise excess sealant may get into the oil pan and clogg
the strainer in the oil suction pipe.
–
Apply silicone sealant to the clean sealing surface of
the oil pan, as shown in the illustration.
Note
♦ It is particularly important to maintain the specified ap-
plication pattern for the bead in the area of the sealing
flange to the flywheel -arrows A-.
♦ There is an opening in the cylinder block -arrow B-
13 mm, which must be reliably sealed off by an accu-
mulation of sealant -a- = 15 mm; -b- = 4 mm.
