3 Minor Service Operations
ATTENTION
The V6 engine is a combination of numerous components, containing machined, honed, polished and lapped
surfaces manufactured on the latest, high technology production equipment. Many of the components
contain tolerances measured in thousandths of a millimetre. Consequently, when any engine component is to
be serviced, care and cleanliness are extremely important.
Prior to re-assembly of the engine, all components must be cleaned and inspected in accordance with the
relevant clean and inspect procedures throughout this Section, and replaced or repaired where required.
In addition to cleaning and inspecting components, a liberal coating of engine oil should be applied to friction
surfaces during assembly to protect and lubricate the surfaces on initial operation.
When performing any service operation, it should be understood that correct cleaning and protection of
machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the repair procedure. This is considered standard workshop
practice, even if not specifically stated. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to
ensure correct retention of all components.
Through out this section, fastener torque wrench specifications may be accompanied with the following
identification marks:
■ Fasteners must be replaced after loosening.



Fasteners either have micro encapsulated sealant applied or incorporate a mechanical thread lock and
should only be re-used once. If in doubt, replacement is recommended.
If one of these identification marks is present alongside a fastener torque wrench specification, the
recommendation regarding that fastener must be adhered to.

3.3 Oil Filter Adaptor
Remove

Disconnection of the battery affects certain
vehicle electronic systems, refer to 1.1
WARNING, CAUTION and NOTES before
disconnecting the battery.
1 Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
2 Disconnect the wiring harness connector from the oil pressure sender.

3 Remove the oil filter adaptor attaching bolts (2), four places.
4 Remove the oil filter adaptor and discard the gasket (3).
5 Clean the surfaces of the adaptor and cylinder block.

• Do not use a screwdriver or similar to
prise the oil filter adapter from the engine
as damage to the sealing surface may
occur.
• If required, use a rubber mallet to tap the
oil filter adapter to loosen the
components prior to separating.
Tapping should be done at bends,
corners or reinforced areas to prevent
distortion of parts.
Figure 6A1 – 27
Reinstall
Reinstallation of the oil filter adaptor is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the following:
1 A new gasket must be used.
2 Loosely install the oil filter adaptor attaching bolts, then tighten all fasteners to the correct torque specification.
Oil filter adaptor attaching bolt
torque specification .................................. 20.0- 26.0 Nm

3.5 Accessory Drive Belt
RWD Vehicle
Remove
1 Remove the air intake duct from between the air flow meter and the throttle body, refer to 6C1-3 Engine
Management – V6 – Service Operations.
2 Note the accessory drive belt (1) routing.
Figure 6A1 – 29
3 Using a suitable ½” drive socket bar (1), rotate the drive belt tensioner (2) clockwise, to reduce belt
tension.
4 W hile holding the tensioner in the reduced tension position, remove the accessory drive belt (3).

NOTE
If required use an assistant to maintain the tensioner in the required position.
CAUTION
If running the engine with the accessory
drive belt removed, the coolant pump will
not be operating and the engine may
overheat if left unsupervised even for a short
period.
Figure 6A1 – 30
Reinstall
1 Install the drive belt over the A/C compressor, idler pulley, power steering pump, coolant pump, generator and tensioner pulleys.
2 Using a suitable ½” drive socket bar (1), rotate the drive belt tensioner (2) clockwise, refer to Figure 6A1 – 30.
3 W ith an assistant holding the tensioner in the required position, feed the accessory drive belt (3) over the crankshaft pulley.
4 Slowly release the drive belt tensioner mechanism.

3.8 Power Steering Pump Bracket
Remove
1 Remove the power steering pump and reservoir, refer to 3B_Steering.
2 Remove the three bolts (1), (3) and (4) attaching the power steering pump bracket (5) to the engine block.
3 Remove the power steering pump bracket.

Figure 6A1 – 33
Reinstall
Reinstallation of the power steering pump and pump bracket is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the
following:
1 Hand start the bolts before tightening.
2 Tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification.
Power steering pump bracket
attaching bolt torque specification ......................22.0 Nm


3.9 Upper Intake Manifold
The intake manifold comprises of an upper and lower section. Some service procedures only require the removal of the
upper intake manifold (e.g. fuel injector/spark plug servicing), while other service procedures require the removal of both
the upper and lower manifold as a complete assembly (e.g. cylinder head/s). If the complete assembly needs to be
removed, refer to 3.10 Intake Manifold Assembly – Complete.

3 Retract the throttle body wiring connector lock (3).
4 W hile pressing the connector latch in the direction of the arrow (4), disconnect the throttle body wiring
connector.
5 Disconnect the throttle body connector wiring harness from its retaining clip (5).
6 Remove the main wiring harness retainer pin (6) from the intake manifold by pushing from the front to the
rear using a suitable piece of 5 mm steel rod (or an
Allen key).

The following precautions must be followed
when disconnecting the throttle body wiring
connector:
• Do not use any mechanical device such
as a screwdriver to disengage the
harness connector (1) from the throttle
body (2).
• When retracting the throttle wiring
connector lock (3), take care not to
disengage the lock from the connector.
• Do not pull on the connector wires.
• Take care not to break the barbed
harness retainer pin (6) while removing
the harness retainer from the intake
manifold.
• Should the pin be broken, then it is
vital that a new harness retainer is
fitted to the wiring harness shield. If
not, the harness will foul the engine
drive belt.
