l Special car washing detergent is the best to 
use. Liquid dishwashing detergent can remove wax 
and leave the car’s paint unprotected and in addition 
some liquid detergents contains abrasives which can 
scratch the paint. 
l Bird droppings should be removed from the 
paintwork as soon as possible, otherwise the finish 
may be permanently stained.

sition of the fluid against the mark on the dipstick, 
Add fluid to the reservoir if the fluid does not reach 
the appropriate full line. 
On most models, the manufacturer doesn’t install 
lubrication fittings on lube points on the steering 
linkage or suspension. However, if the lubrication 
point does have a grease fitting, lubricate with multi- 
purpose NLGI No. 2 (Lithium base) grease. 
CAR WASHING 
The car should be washed at regular intervals to 
remove dirt, dust, insects, and tar and other possibly 
damaging stains that can adhere to the paint and may 
cause damage. Proper exterior maintenance also 
helps in the resale value of the vehicle by maintaining 
its like-new appearance. 
Mt is particularly important ta frequentiy 
wash the car in the wintertime to prevent cor- 
rosion, when salt has been used on the roads. 
There are many precautions and tips on washing, 
including the following: 
l When washing the car, do not expose it do di- 
rect sunlight. 
. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before 
you wash with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid 
scratching. 
l A detergent can be used to facilitate the soften- 
ing of dirt and oil. * A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in 
cases of sticky dirt. However, use a washplace with a 
drainage separator. 
l Dry the car with a clean chamois and remem- 
ber to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker 
panels. 
l If equipped with a power radio antenna, it must 
be dried after washing. 
Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or 
paint thinner, always use the same agent as 
used on the painted surfaces of the vehicle. 
l Tar spots can be removed with tar remover or 
kerosene after the car has been washed. 
l A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water 
can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent 
cleaning improves visibility when using the wipers 
considerably. 
l Wash off the did from the underside (wheel 
housings, fenders, etc.). 
l In areas of high industrial fallout, more fre- 
quent washing is recommended. 
During high pressure washing the spray nonle 
must never be closer to the vehicle than 13 
inches (30cm). Do not spray into the locks. 
l When washing or steam cleaning the engine, 
avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electri- 
cal components or near the distributor or ignition 
components. After cleaning the engine, the spark 
plug wells should be inspected for water and blown 
dry if necessary. Automatic car washing is a simple and quick way 
to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it 
is not as thorough as when you yourself clean the 
car. Keeping the underbody clean is vitally important, 
and some automatic washers do not contain equip- 
ment for washing the underside of the car. 
When driving into an automatic was, make sure 
the following precautions have been taken: 
l Make sure all windows are up, and no objects 
that you do not want to get wet are exposed. 
l In some cases, rotating the side view mirrors 
in can help to avoid possible damage. 
l If your car is equipped with a power antenna, 
lower it. If your vehicle has a solid mounted, non- 
power antenna, it is best to remove it, but this is not 
always practical. Inspect the surroundings to reduce 
the risk of possible damage, and check to see if the 
antenna can be manually lowered. 
Most manufacturers do not recommend auto- 
matic car washing in the first six months due 
to the possibility of insufficient paint curing; 
a safe bet is to wait until after six months of 
ownership (when purchased new) to use an 
automatic car wash. 
WAXING 
eBefore applying wax, the vehicle must be 
washed and thoroughly dried. 
Waxing a vehicle can help to preserve the appear- 
ante of your vehicle. A wide range of polymer-based 
car waxes are available today. These waxes are easy 
to use and produce a long-lasting, high gloss finish 
that protects the body and paint against oxidation, 
road dirt, and fading. 
Sometimes, waxing a neglected vehicle, or one 
that has sustained chemical or natural element dam- 
age (such as acid rain) require more than waxing, 
and a light-duty compound can be applied. For se- 
verely damaged surfaces, it is best to consult a pro- 
fessional to see what would be required to repair the 
damage. 
Waxing procedures differ according to manufac- 
turer, type, and ingredients, so it is best to consult 
the directions on the wax and/or polish purchased.

REMOVAL &INSTALLATION 
# See Figure 1 
In the process of removing the engine, you will 
come across a number of steps which call for the re- 
moval of a separate component or system, such as 
“disconnect the exhaust system” or “remove the radi- 
ator.” In most instances, a detailed removal proce- 
dure can be found elsewhere in this manual. 
It is virtually impossible to list each individual 
wire and hose which must be disconnected, simply 
because so many different model and engrne combi- 
nations have been manufactured Careful observation 
and common sense are the best possible approaches 
to any repair procedure. 
Removal and installation of the engine can be 
made easier if you follow these basic points: 
l If you have to drain any of the fluids, use a 
suitable container. 
l Always tag any wires or hoses and, if possrble, 
the components they came from before disconnect- 
ing them. 
l Because there are so many bolts and fasteners 
involved, store and label the retainers from compo- 
nents separately in muffin pans, jars or coffee cans. 
This will prevent confusion during installatron. 
l After unbolting the transmisston or transaxle, 
always make sure it is properly supported. 
l If it is necessary to disconnect the air condi- 
tioning system, have this service performed by a 
qualified technician using a recovery/recycling sta- 
tion If the system does not have to be disconnected, 
unbolt the compressor and set it aside. 
l When unbolting the engine mounts, always 
make sure the engine is properly supported. When 
removing the engine, make sure that any lifting de- 
vices are properly attached to the engine. It is recom- 
mended that if your engine IS supplied with lifting 
hooks, your lifting apparatus be attached to them. 
l Lift the engine from its compartment slowly, 
checking that no hoses, wires or other components 
are still connected. 
l After the engine is clear of the compartment, 
place it on an engine stand or workbench. 
l After the engine has been removed, you can 
perform a partial or full teardown of the engine using 
the procedures outlined in this manual. 
1. Relieve fuel system pressure. 
Observe all applicable safety precautions 
when working around fuel. Whenever servic- 
ing the fuel system, always work in a well 
ventilated area. Do not allow fuel spray or 
vapors to come in contact with a spark or 
open flame. Keep a dry chemical fire extin- 
guisher near the work area. Always keep fuel 
in a container specifically designed for fuel 
storage; also, always properly seal fuel con- 
tainers to avoid the possibility of fire or ex- 
plosion. 
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 
3. Remove the engine undercover if equipped. 4. Matchmark the hood and hinges and remove 
the hood assembly. 
5. Remove the air cleaner assembly and all ad-

hoses, and remove the radiator assembly, coolant 
reservoir, and intercooler, as equipped. 
cooling system when hot; serious burns can 
occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, 
when draining engine coolant, keep in mind 
that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene 
glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is 
left in an uncovered container or in puddles 
on the ground. This will prove fatal in suffi- 
cient quantities. Always drain coolant into a 
sealable container. Coolant should be reused 
unless it is contaminated or is several years 
old. 
7. Remove the transaxle and transfer case as 
equipped. 
8. Tag and detach the following electrical con- 
nections: 
l Accelerator cable l Heater hoses l Brake booster vacuum hose l Vacuum hoses l Fuel lines l Engine ground cables l Any applicable sensors l Coolant temperature and oil pressure send-

vehicle. 
To install: 
17. Install the engine and secure all control 
brackets and mounts. 
18. Install the transaxle, and transfer case if 
equipped. 
19. The balance of the installation is the reverse 
of removal with the addition of the following notes: 
a. Use new clamps or O-rings to connect the 
high pressure fuel lme and the fuel return line. 
b. Use new gaskets to connect the exhaust 
system to the engine. 
c. Fill the engine with the proper amount of 
engine oil and coolant. 
d. Start the engine, allow it to reach normal 
operating temperature. 
e. Check for leaks. 
f. Check the ignition timing and adjust if nec- 
essary.

Many turbocharger failures are due to oil supply 
problems. Heat soak after hot shutdown can cause 
the engine oil in the turbocharger and oil lines to 
“coke.” Often the oil feed lines will become partially 
or completely blocked with hardened particles of car- 
bon, blocking oil flow. Check the oil feed pipe and oil 
return line for cloggrng. Clean these tubes well. Al- 
ways use new gaskets above and below the oil feed 
eyebolt fitting. Do not allow particles of dirt or old 
gasket material to enter the oil passage hole and that 
no portion of the new gasket blocks the passage. 
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 
2. Drain the engine oil, cooling system and re- 
move the radiator On vehicles equipped with A/C, 
remove the condenser fan assembly with the radiator. 
The EPA warns that prolonged contact with 
used engine oil may cause a number of skin 
disorders, including cancer! You should 
make every effort to minimize your exposure 
to used engine oil. Protective gloves should
