Installation Advice for Engines

1. Before starting the installation, check:

• That the delivered engine matches your engine.
• The delivered engine for any (transport) damage.
• That everything is in accordance with the agreed terms.
• All oil seals for leakage. Replace if in doubt.

2. Additional points of attention/installation tips

• Replace the gasket ring under the oil drain plug.
• Replace oil and oil filter according to factory specifications.
• Pay attention to viscosity and quantity.
• Replace the complete timing belt (possibly including the water pump).
• If you need to swap the intake manifold, make sure it is clean. (Metal particles from the damaged engine can cause the new engine to fail).
• Check the radiator for proper flow/leakage (check after installation if the cooling fan operates).
• Avoid electronic malfunctions. Use as many electronic components such as wiring harnesses, sensors, temperature sensors, etc., that belong to the vehicle.
• Turbo engines: Ensure that sufficient oil reaches the turbo and that it can drain without resistance (consider a kinked return line, etc.). Ensure all intake pipes/hoses and intercooler are clean.
• For diesel engines with an immobilizer on the fuel pump, this must be transferred. (the entire pump or just the immobilizer).
• Follow the manufacturer's disassembly and assembly instructions, including torque settings, etc.
• Check the oil level after the test drive.
• Check the engine for any leaks after the test drive.

3. Not covered under warranty:

• The complete timing belt.
• Head gasket (by agreement).
• Leakage at water pump, hose gaskets, and oil seals.
• Flywheel and clutch (especially for versions with a dual-mass flywheel).
• Consequential damage caused by the supplied turbo and/or fuel pump.
