Table of contents: Removal ↓ Installation ↓
Before you begin, please read the entire engine removal section carefully.

If the engine is removed for repair, it is necessary to select a place for the work, provide space for maintenance and storage of spare parts. Engine repairs should be carried out at a service station or in a garage with a level horizontal floor with a clean hard surface.

Before removing, clean and wash the engine and engine compartment. To remove the engine, use a lifting mechanism that allows you to safely lift the power unit.

If you are removing the engine for the first time, you should invite an experienced specialist. Some work is performed with an assistant.

All clamps and collars that are damaged or cut during engine removal must be replaced with new ones during engine assembly.

The engine is removed forward without the gearbox.

The drained coolant must be collected and disposed of.

Before disconnecting the battery, find out if you have a radio activation code.

Removal



Turn off the ignition and disconnect the ground wire from the battery.

Carefully lift the engine, then move it away from the transmission and lift it up out of the engine bay.

Cars with automatic transmission



Secure the torque converter to the engine.

Installation



Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following.

When installing the engine, it is necessary to replace the self-locking nuts and bolts, which were tightened by turning them to a certain angle, with new ones, as well as the sealing rings and gaskets.

Before installation, make sure the rack IN (see Fig. 3.3–16) on the rear of the turbocharger is turned clockwise.

Before installing the engine, secure electrical wires and hoses to the sides of the engine compartment to prevent them from being pinched by the engine.

When installing, check for the presence of centering bushings that determine the relative position of the engine and gearbox.

Cars with manual transmission



Clean the splines of the drive shaft and remove any traces of corrosion from the clutch disc when reusing it. Lubricate the splines of the drive shaft with a thin layer of G 000 100 grease.

Check the condition of the clutch release bearing and replace it if necessary.

Using a drift, check the centering of the clutch disc.

Check the condition of the needle bearing at the flywheel end of the crankshaft. Replace the bearing if necessary.

Cars with automatic transmission



To attach the torque converter to the flywheel, it is necessary to use bolts of the original design.

To attach the torque converter to the flywheel, it is necessary to use bolts of the original design.


Fig. 3.3–18. Measuring the distance between the bearing surface for the torque converter mounting bolts and the bearing surface of the crankcase


Check the correct installation of the torque converter. If the distance between the supporting surface for the torque converter mounting bolts and the housing surface is 19 mm, then the torque converter is installed correctly. If the torque converter is installed incorrectly, this distance is about 14 mm (Fig. 3.3–18). In this case, the torque converter drive disk and the automatic transmission pump are destroyed.

Place the engine in place and rock it from side to side to ensure it is correctly positioned on the supports.

Install the air conditioning compressor and power steering pump.

Before tightening the A/C compressor mounting bolts, make sure the compressor centering bushings are in place.

Install power steering pump pulley.

Install the poly V-belt.

Install the radiator fan with viscous coupling.

Install the torque compensator and bolt it to the engine and body.

Fill the cooling system with coolant. Do not reuse coolant if the cylinder head has been removed or the cylinder block has been replaced.

Check that the exhaust system components are correctly mounted on the suspensions and do not touch the body when it is rocking.

Check that the electrical connectors are connected correctly.

Connect the ground wire to the battery.

Turn on radio and enter the code into it.

Raise the power windows all the way up. Then press all power window switches again for at least 1 second to the closed position to activate the power window control unit.

Set the time on the clock.

Before starting the engine for the first time, it is necessary to bleed the fuel system, otherwise the fuel pump will be damaged.

Before starting the engine, check the presence and level of oil in the engine.
