Fig. 7–10. Small middle pipe of the cooling system of the 2.8 l petrol engine: 1 – bolt, 10 N·m; 2 – clamp
Loosen the clamp and remove the hose from the rear of the middle coolant pipe (Fig. 7–10).
Unscrew bolt 1 securing the middle pipe of the cooling system to the cylinder block.
Remove the middle coolant pipe from the cylinder block opening and remove it.
Installation
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following.
Clean the sealing ring seat before installation.
When installing, it is necessary to use a new sealing ring, having previously lubricated it with anti-corrosion agent G12.
Slide the pipe into the cylinder block hole and secure it with a bolt.
Install intake manifold.
Fill with coolant.
