Removal And Installation: Installing

NOTE:

The ignition coil with power output stage must be greased using lubricating paste -G 052 141 A2- to install new spark plugs. This prevents the sealing hose on the ignition coil from sticking on the spark plug. The lubricating paste must spread onto the spark pug when installing the ignition coil.

New ignition coils with power output stages are already greased when delivered.

-- Apply a thin bead of lubricating paste -G 052 141 A2- around the ignition sealing hose -arrow-. The bead must be 1 to 2 mm thick.
