SYMPTOMS

CHECK ENGINE lamp lights.

53 35 161 Chafing guard

PROCEDURE

Before proceeding, check box B4 of the modification identity plate. If the box is not marked, continue as follows.

Remove the upper engine cover.

Fig 2: Coolant Hose For EGR

Pull up the dipstick, bend aside the coolant hose for EGR as in Fig 2 and put the dipstick back in place.
Hold down the left-hand cable guide under the connector slightly with your hand.
Use a needle nose pliers to hold the chafing guard by its edge. Coat the surfaces with vaseline. The side with the raised edge should be up.

Fig 3: Installing Chafing Guard

Press the chafing guard into the opening between the engine control module cover and the cable guide. The pliers must be inserted behind the cable network.
Press in so that only approx. 2 mm of the chafing guard is visible and the raised edge snaps in place. The chafing guard should be fitted parallel to the diesel pump. Remove the pliers.

Fig 4: Chafing Guard Exposure

Put the EGR valve's coolant hose back in place and wipe away any oil. Replace the dipstick.
