To fit

NOTE: Spray the connectors with Kontakt 61, part no. 30 04 520, before connecting them.
  1. Carefully jack up the tank.
  2. Fit the handbrake cables.
  3. Fit the straps.
  4. Fit the purge pipe.
  5. Fit the filler pipe.

    Tightening torques: 

    Plastic screw 1.5 Nm (1.1 lbf ft) 

    Hose clips 4 Nm (2.9 lbf ft) 

    IMPORTANT: When fitting the filler pipe it is important to replace the rubber hoses between the filler pipe and the fuel tank. There is a risk of cracks forming on the hoses after repeated tightening of the hose clips and this can lead to fuel leakage.
    It is also important to replace the old plastic screw by a new screw of plastic. In the event of a collision, the plastic screw will break thus avoiding any damage to the filler pipe which is also made of plastic.
  6. Lower the car to the floor.
  7. Plug in the connector and connect the fuel lines. Apply acid-free vaseline on the O-rings.
    IMPORTANT: Inspect O-rings when fitting the fuel lines and change them as necessary.
