Caution! Under no circumstances should the cylinder head be removed when the engine temperature is above 40°C, as this may result in deformation of the cylinder head.
Note: If the car is equipped with an anti-theft system with a security code, you must have the code with you to turn on the system after connecting the battery.

Details of the upper part of the cylinder head: 1 - bolt, 16 N·m; 2 - central cover (above the top of the intake manifold); 3 - oil filler cap; 4 - nut, 10 Nm; 5 - stiffener; 6 - cylinder head cover; 7 - oil deflector shield; 8 - cylinder head mounting bolt; 9 - cylinder head cover gasket; 10 - cylinder head; 11 - cylinder head gasket; 12 - lifting eye; 13 - camshaft gear wheel; 14 - plug; 15 - from the crankcase ventilation system; 16 - T-shaped fitting; 17 - O-ring (always a replacement)
The parts that need to be removed in order to remove the cylinder head from the cylinder block are shown in Fig. 105.
Remove the cylinder head in the following order:
- disconnect the "-" terminal from the battery by unscrewing the corresponding bolt and nut;
Attention! To avoid damage to the ECU, disconnect the battery terminals only when the ignition is off.
Attention! When disconnecting the battery, all codes recorded in the memory device are erased.
- drain the coolant from the cooling system (p. 5.1.1);
- remove the upper part of the intake manifold;
- disconnect the upper coolant hose from the radiator to the pipe;
- disconnect all electrical wires from the cylinder head;
- disconnect the fuel lines, throttle cable and brake booster vacuum hose;
Caution! Fuel lines are under pressure. Before disconnecting a fuel hose from its mount, grab the fuel hose connection with a thick rag and, carefully pulling it from the mount, relieve pressure in the system.
