5 Disable the ignition system, refer to 6C1-3 Engine Management – V6 – Service Operations.
6 Crank the engine several times. Listen for any unusual noises or evidence that parts are binding.
7 Enable the ignition system. Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises.
8 Check the vehicle oil pressure gauge or warning indicator and confirm the engine has acceptable oil pressure. If required, install an oil pressure gauge and measure the engine oil pressure, refer to 2.19 Engine Oil Pressure
Diagnosis.
9 Run the engine at about 1,000 r.p.m. until the engine has reached normal operating temperature.
10 Listen for any unusual noises.
11 Check for oil, fuel, coolant and exhaust leaks while the engine is running, correcting as required.
12 Perform a final inspection for correct engine oil and coolant levels.
4.2 Oil Pan and Oil Pump Suction Pipe Assembly
Remove
