VAS 6122.
l Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them with lint-free cloths.
l Carefully cover over opened components or seal, if repairs are not performed immediately.
l Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation. Do not
use parts that have been stored out of their original packaging (for example in tool boxes etc.).
l If system is open, do not work with compressed air and do not move the vehicle.
l Make sure no fuel gets onto the fuel hoses. If necessary, wipe off the fuel hoses immediately.
l Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and moisture and only connect if dry.
ENGINE NUMBER
The engine number ("engine code" and "serial number") are located at the front of the engine/transmission joint.
In addition, a sticker with "engine code" and "serial number" is affixed to the toothed belt guard.
The engine code is also included on the vehicle data plates.
ENGINE CONTAMINANTS
l To prevent foreign objects from entering when working on the engine, seal open intake and exhaust
channels with suitable plugs, for example from the engine bung set VAS 6122.
CONTACT CORROSION
Contact corrosion can occur if incorrect fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) are used.
For this reason, only install connecting elements that are treated with a special coating.
Also, rubber or plastic parts and adhesive consist of non-conductive materials.
If there are doubts about the suitability of parts, generally use new parts.
LINES, ROUTING AND SECURING
l Mark the individual fuel, hydraulic and vacuum lines for the EVAP canister system as well as the
electrical wires before disconnecting and/or removing them. This will prevent a mix-up when
reconnecting them. If necessary, draw sketches or take pictures.
l Due to the limited space inside the engine compartment, be especially careful when working near moving
or hot parts. This will also prevent damaging the lines.
