5 Dismantle leak oil line (4) IMPORTANT For this purpose, press in locking clamps (3) at connections for leak oil line (4) (arrow). Locking clamps (3) remain on fuel injectors (Y76).
IMPORTANTInstallation:  Replace removed safety clips (3).
 
6 Remove clamping claws (5) at fuel injectors (Y76) NOTES If bolt is torn off during removal or thread in cylinder housing is damaged:
 
    Thread repair for clamping claw mount
IMPORTANTInstallation:  Always replace bolts for clamping claws (5). Tighten bolts in stages

7 Remove fuel injectors (Y76) IMPORTANT Mark installation location of fuel injectors (Y76).
If a fuel injector is tight, (Y76) fit an extraction claw instead of clamping claw (5) and remove fuel injector (Y76) using an extractor.
 
    SPECIAL TOOL
IMPORTANT The fuel injectors (Y76) can also be removed with the threaded adapter, these fuel injectors (Y76) must then be replaced in all cases.

    IMPORTANTInstallation:  Replace sealing rings (6). To ensure injection lines (1) are installed free of tension, the injection lines (1) must be fitted on before tightening the fuel injectors (Y76).
When installing new injectors (Y76), the control units must be adapted using STAR DIAGNOSIS to store the injector quantity compensation coding in the CDI control unit.
Present on the vehicle
Make adhesive label unrecognizable according to injector quantity compensation coding.
 
CLEAN Cleaning     
8 Clean fuel injectors (Y76) and injector recesses NOTES Close injector recesses before cleaning with a pin to prevent internal damage due to ingress of foreign matter.
NOTES Clean injector recesses and fuel injectors (Y76) with a wire brush, grease injector recesses using special grease, clean, blow out and cover injector recesses with a round brush and cylinder brush and then clean again using soft cloths to guarantee their trouble-free function.
IMPORTANT Fuel injectors (Y76) must not be disassembled.
