Installing the engine on a car

Adhere to the tightening torques for bolts and nuts specified in Section 1.1.

Prepare the power unit for installation. To do this, insert the rod of the right engine mount into the hole in the side member bracket.

Install the right engine mount.

Establish the beam supporting a transmission.

In a car with a 1.6i engine and automatic transmission, install toothed belts on the left and right axle shafts. Temporarily install the timing belt guard on the left side and the inner modulator guard on the right side.

Enter the axle shafts in the corresponding places of the gearbox. Pay attention to the correct settling of spring rings (pic. 2.11).



Attach the inner cover of the modulator (this applies to a car with a 1.6i engine and an ABS system).

Install a pressure modulator with an SCS sensor. Screw in the fixing bolts by hand, without tightening them with a wrench. Install the toothed belt and tighten it so that when you press your thumb, it would bend 5 mm.

Install the toothed belt guard.

Perform the rest of the steps in the reverse order than when removing the power unit.


Adjust the external shifter by doing the following:

• shift into fourth gear. To do this, press the selector, setting it in such a way that the hole would be directed in the vertical direction.
• Connect the shift bar to the selector shaft.
• put the shift lever in the fourth gear position and fix it in the housing with a pin having a diameter of 3.5 mm from the shift lever housing (pic. 2.12).

Adjust clutch pedal travel (see section 3.1. Clutch).

Fill the engine cooling system with fluid. Fill the engine lubrication system with oil. Check the level and, if necessary, top up the oil level in the gearbox.
