Removal and installation of the engine

            0

The engine is removed downwards with the gearbox attached to the engine with a flange, so we recommend reading the section "Removal and installation of a transmission", before removing the engine. A crane or winch is required to remove the engine. Since the engine, together with the gearbox, must be removed from under the car, the car must be driven onto an assembly pit or assembly platform. Before working in the engine compartment, the wings must be covered with rags.

Depending on the year of manufacture and equipment, electrical wires, possibly vacuum and coolant hoses, may be routed and connected in the engine compartment in different ways. Since it is impossible to dwell on each option separately, mark the corresponding wires with adhesive tape before removing them. The following describes the removal of a gasoline engine with a manual transmission.

Withdrawal



Disconnect the ground wire (-) from the battery.

Attention! As a result, data in electronic storage devices, such as an engine fault memory or a radio code, are erased. Please read the section carefully "Removing and installing the battery", before disconnecting it.


Remove the air filter and air intake pipe, see point 5.6.



Squeeze the plastic tabs on the fuel supply lines -1- and remove the fuel lines. When removing the fuel line, it is necessary to wrap the latter with a rag so that the fuel flowing from it cannot be splashed. The fuel lines must be closed with suitable plugs, for example, a clean screw of suitable diameter can be inserted as a plug. To facilitate installation, mark the fuel lines with adhesive tape when removed.


Attention! Remove the fuel lines carefully so that the pressure in the fuel system is released gradually.


Remove a clip -2- and disconnect draft of gas.



Disconnect the plug -1- of the power steering pressure switch. Unscrew the pressure pipe bracket -2- from the engine.

Unscrew the ground wire from the engine lifting lug.



Remove vacuum hoses from fuel pressure regulator -2- and suction pipe. The figure also shows: 1 - fuel return hose; 3 - distribution pipe; 4 - valve; 5 - plug for jet; 6 - fuel supply.



Remove vacuum hoses from exhaust gas recirculation valve -4-, -3- at measuring point -2- of pipe -1-. Remove the engine ventilation hose near the ignition coil.


From the underside of the vehicle, remove the vacuum hose from the pulse air control valve -5-.

Unscrew the front exhaust pipe from the exhaust manifold. Release the exhaust system from all suspensions and remove it, see point 8.



Unscrew the lining of the wheel arch -1-, remove the protective cover of the belt pulley -2-.

Remove the V-belt see paragraph 1.19.

Disconnect the ground wire from the gearbox.

Disconnect the clutch release linkage from the shift lever.



Disconnect the plug -1- and the multi-pin plug of the engine wiring harness -2-.



Pull the receiver -1- of the power steering upwards from the holders. Unscrew the ground wire -3-. Unscrew the bolt -4-, disconnect the plug -2- from the engine control unit.




On the bracket -1- on the front wall, disconnect the ignition module wire plug -2- (only in models with automatic transmission), differential pressure converter -3-, solenoid valve for pulsed air supply -4- and vacuum regulator -5-. Disconnect the wire bundle from the front wall.

Unscrew the heat shield from the exhaust manifold.

Raise the car on the goats.

Drain the oil see point 10.6.

Loosen the hose clamps and remove the lower coolant hose from the radiator. On vehicles with an oil cooler, also disconnect the coolant hoses from the oil filter flange.

Loosen the hose clamps and remove the coolant hoses from the thermostat, see point 3.5.

Remove the pressure hose and expansion tank hose from the power steering pump. Collect the escaping hydraulic fluid in a container. Remove the hydraulic power steering pump, see point 13.4.

Cars with air conditioning



Attention! The air conditioning coolant circuit must not be opened. The coolant contains ingredients that can cause frostbite if it comes into contact with the skin. It is possible to remove the engine without opening the coolant circuit.





Unscrew the fixing bolts (arrows in the picture) air conditioner compressor (do not disconnect hoses) and thus suspend it with a wire so that it does not interfere with the dismantling process, the hoses must not be taut. Disconnect the magnetic coupling plug.



Disconnect the brake booster hose from the intake manifold. To do this, press the retaining clip on the suction manifold slightly into the manifold and hold it in this position, carefully pull the vacuum hose out of the spring sleeve.

Remove the left and right driveshafts, see 11.8.

Loosen the shift rod fixing bolt. Unscrew the shift fork rod and its support from the gearbox.



Unscrew the heat shield of the shift lever. Pull the shift levers back and tie them with a wire at the top to the body carrier frame.



Unscrew the bolts, remove the air conditioner dryer (where there is) and tie it with wire to the supporting frame of the body.



Unscrew the fixing bolts -1- of the steering mechanism on the auxiliary frame.

Unscrew the central bolts -2- on the engine support points. Unscrew the bolts -3- and remove the bracket from the auxiliary frame.

Unscrew the engine support bracket from the gearbox.



Remove the center bolt on the front engine support bracket.



Support the subframe with a garage jack. Unscrew the mounting bolts, lower and remove the auxiliary frame.

Unscrew from the gearbox takhoval, located near the flange of the left drive shaft.

Support the gearbox with a jack, while using wooden blocks to exclude possible damage.



Raise the engine slightly with a winch or crane.

Right engine mount





Left engine mount





Unscrew the fixing nuts -arrows- of both engine mounts.

Make sure that all wires and hoses that come from the engine are removed.

Lower the block consisting of the engine and gearbox from the engine compartment down.

Installation



Check engine mounts and coolant, oil and fuel hoses for pores and cracks and replace if necessary.

Only new self-locking nuts may be used on engine mounts.

If the car has a high mileage, then the engine and gearbox must be disconnected. Check that the clutch release bearing rotates easily, check that the clutch release lever runs smoothly, replace them if necessary. Check whether the thickness of the friction lining on the clutch disc is sufficient, check the condition of the clutch, replace if necessary, see point 9.

Insert the block consisting of the gearbox and the engine from below into the engine compartment, make sure that the engine mounts are seated correctly.

Install the engine mount nuts, but do not tighten them yet.
