Fig. 3.3–34. Location of the exhaust pipe heater mounting screws and additional heater sound insulation
Unscrew the screws securing the exhaust pipe heater and the additional heater sound insulation (see Fig. 3.3–34).

Fig. 3.3–35. Location of engine compartment lower mudguard mounting fasteners
Release the fasteners and remove the front section of the lower engine compartment mudguard (see Fig. 3.3–35).

Fig. 6–3. Location of the electrical connector for the engine oil level sensor
Disconnect the electrical connector from the oil level sensor (Fig. 6-3).
Place a container under the engine to collect the coolant.
Unscrew the plug and drain the coolant.
Unscrew the bolt securing the coolant drain pipe holder to the cylinder block.
Place a container under the engine to collect the engine oil.
Drain motor oil, to do this, loosen the oil drain plug by about half a turn. Place a container to collect the oil under the drain plug and unscrew the plug completely. If necessary, press on the plug when unscrewing it so that the oil does not flow out prematurely.
When the oil has completely drained, screw the plug back in.
Remove the bolts and remove the lower section of the oil pan.
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
Note: New O-rings must be used during installation.
On engines with a gasket on the lower section of the oil pan, check the condition and location of the gasket.
Use a plastic or wooden scraper to remove the old gasket from the mating surfaces of the upper and lower sections of the oil pan.
Using a rotating wire brush attached to a power drill, clean the sealant from the oil pan.

Fig. 6–4. Place where a 3 mm diameter layer of sealant is applied to the mating surface of the oil pan
Apply a 3 mm bead of D176 404 A2 sealant to the oil pan mating surface (Fig. 6–4).
After applying a layer of sealant, the oil pan must be installed within 5 minutes, the sealant must be allowed to dry for 30 minutes, and only then poured into the engine motor oil.
The sealant layer should be no more than 3 mm in diameter, as excess sealant may get into the oil and block the mesh filter.
Tighten the oil pan mounting bolts evenly and diagonally.
On engines with a gasket on the lower section of the oil pan, do not overtighten the bolts as this will distort the oil pan gasket.
On engines where the lower section of the oil pan is installed with sealant, tighten the mounting bolts first to 5 N·m, then finally to 10 N·m.
Fill with coolant.
Pour into the engine motor oil.
