Injector spacer plate

K4J

Tightening torques
injector spacer plate bolts 11 and 12	2.5 daN.m
injector spacer plate bolts 13 to 20	2.1 daN.m
upper timing cover bolt	4.4 daN.m
pendulum mount bracket bolt	4.4 daN.m

REMOVAL

• Disconnect the battery.
• Remove the intake manifold (Chapter Air-Fuel Mixture, Intake Manifold, page 12A-26).

IMPORTANT

Beware of fuel spray when disconnecting the fuel supply fitting from the fuel rail.

WARNING

Protect the alternator from fuel flowing out of the rail and the supply pipe.

• Remove the two fuel rail cover retaining nuts (1).
• Release the wiring harness.

• Disconnect:

• the fuel inlet fitting (2),
• the injectors (3),
• the knock sensor (4).

• Remove the two fuel rail retaining bolts (5).
• Carefully pull the fuel rail towards you to remove it.
• Remove:

• the wiring harness retaining nut (6),
• the oil dipstick tube (7).

• Remove the injector spacer plate retaining bolts.

INSTALLATION

• Always replace the injector spacer plate gasket.
• Fit all retaining bolts.
• Press the injector spacer plate against the upper timing cover and start bolt (8) by hand.
• Press the injector spacer plate against the engine pendulum mount bracket and tighten bolt (9) by hand.
• Position the injector spacer plate resting on the rocker cover spacers (10).
• Tighten in the following order and to the following torques:

• injector spacer plate retaining bolts 11 and 12 (2.5 daN.m),
• injector spacer plate retaining bolts 13 to 20 (2.1 daN.m).

• Tighten to the following torques:

• upper timing cover bolt (4.4 daN.m),
• pendulum mount bracket bolt (4.4 daN.m).

• Refit in the reverse order of removal.

WARNING

Connect the battery; carry out the necessary re-learns (see Electrical Equipment chapter).
