WARNING

Position the earth terminal with the wires facing down to optimise the seal of the hydraulic unit ECU connector.

  • Tighten to the following torques:
  • the hydraulic unit to bracket mounting bolts (0.8 daN.m),
  • the pipe mounting bolts on the hydraulic unit (1.7 daN.m),
  • the hydraulic unit bracket to body bolts (6.5 daN.m),
  • the air distributor mounting bolts (0.9 daN.m).

AIR CONDITIONING or AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING

Tighten the air conditioning pipe bolts to torque (0.8 daN.m).

WARNING
  • Always replace the throttle body seal when it is removed. When the ignition is switched on, the throttle body must carry out a learning cycle for the minimum and maximum stops. Use the diagnostic tool to check that this learning has been carried out correctly.
  • Always replace the seals at the ends of the air conditioning pipe with new seals.
  • Connect the battery; carry out the necessary relearn procedures (see Battery chapter).
  • Bleed the brake circuit using the diagnostic tool (see General, Bleeding the brake circuit, page 30A-5).

AIR CONDITIONING or AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING

  • Refill the refrigerant circuit using the charging station tool.
Note:
  • Check the air conditioning operates correctly with the fan unit at maximum speed.
  • If there is no cooling, carry out a leak check (see Leak Detection).
  • Torque the battery cover screws (0.4 daN.m).
