• Install clamps along the upper edge of the subframe.

• Route the cable along the subframe and secure it in the cable tie and the other clamps.

• Drain the coolant.
• Tighten the tap after the coolant has been drained.

• Detach the double clamp on the cable to the alternator that is located on the thermostat housing hose.
• Rotate the catch on the thermostat housing pipe anticlockwise, detach the hose and drain the remaining coolant.

• Cut off the hose using a sharp knife in accordance with the measurements. Make the incision as straight as possible. The short hose-end that was cut off shall be used again.

Подсказка: Install a piece of tape over the cutting location and mark with a pen where the incision should be. Reinstall the hose connection in the pipe in order to support the cutting process.

Примечание: Do not damage the adjacent cable harnesses.

• Cut out the short cut-off hose section as illustrated.
• Discard the cut-off hose bend.

• Remove the short hose-end and press it on the pipe that runs to the thermostat housing. Make sure that the cut-out in the hose connection is turned down and fits into the corresponding pin in the pipe connection.
• Rotate the catch on the pipe clockwise against the stop.
• Take a hose clamp from the kit and install it on the hose-end.

• Take the engine block heater, bracket, rubber coated clamp and screw from the kit and assemble them as illustrated.
• Do not tighten the screw yet.

• Take the hose clamp from the kit and fit it onto the engine block heater's upper connection.

• Position the engine block heater with bracket in the front edge of the oil sump and connect both hose-ends to the engine block heater's connections.
• Take a screw from the kit and tighten the bracket with engine block heater into the existing hole in the oil sump.

Примечание: The screw is self-tapping so insertion may be slow. Make sure that the screw is centred straight into the hole, so that the screw head is flat against the bracket.

• Now adjust the engine block heater in the rubber coated clamp so that the hoses are properly fitted on the engine block heater's connections.
• Tighten the screw to the rubber coated clamp.
• Tighten the hose clamps to the engine block heater.
• Install the double clamp to the cable for the alternator in the engine block heater's upper hose.

• Lubricate the O-ring on the connector for the heater's cable with low temperature grease P/N 1161427.

Примечание: Do not get any grease on the surfaces of the connector.

• Connect the cable from the front engine block heater socket to the engine block heater and press it in firmly.
• Press a locking sleeve from the kit over the cable splice.

• Clamp the cable at the radiator pipe using a cable tie.

• Pull back the cable excess and clamp together using cable ties between the clips in the subframe.

• Fill with coolant, run the engine to operating temperature, bleed the cooling system and check that there are no leaks.
• Top up the cooling system as required.
