WARNING
Risk of burns.
Parts of the exhaust system may be hot.
Allow exhaust system to cool before removing.
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped conditions:
Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, activated charcoal filter system, coolant and refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring in their original positions.
To avoid damage to lines, ensure sufficient clearance from all moving or hot components.
Cut through cable ties carefully and reinstall them in the same position.

Caution
Do not bend the de-coupling element of the particulate filter more than 10°, otherwise it could be damaged.

Installing
Installation is carried out in the reverse order; note the following:
WARNING
After renewing particulate filter, carry out adaptation
Vehicle diagnostic tester
because otherwise the function of the new particulate filter is not assured.
Note
Make sure clamp and particulate filter are correctly seated.
After working on the exhaust system, ensure that the system is not under stress and that there is sufficient clearance to the bodywork. If necessary, loosen clamps and align silencer and front exhaust pipe so that sufficient clearance is maintained to the bodywork and the mountings are evenly loaded.
Renew self-locking nuts.
Align exhaust system free of stress

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
