Installation
With the help of a second mechanic, pass the filler neck between the rear axle and the body. Then place the fuel tank on the tilting device -VAG 1383 A-. Slowly lift the fuel tank to the installation position and secure it.
Instructions: Only bolts with loose washers are allowed to be used to secure the fuel tank clamps. Using other screws may cause the clamps to twist when tightened.
Tighten the new clamp mounting bolts "arrows" and the new screw "1" to 20 Nm + 90°. Tighten the coolant pump mounting bolts "arrows" to 8 Nm + 90°. Further installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. In this case, the following must be taken into account. The ventilation and fuel lines must be laid without kinks. Check for a tank/body ground connection on the filler pipe. Ensure proper fastening of the fuel hoses. After installing the fuel tank, check whether the feed and ventilation lines are still secured to the fuel tank.
