WARNING
Do not use any product designed to improve the
electr ical contact in the injection computer and oxy-
gen sensor connectors or on the bodies of the oxy-
gen sensors.
Failure to respect this advice causes the oxygen
sensor to malfunction and results in failure to com-
ply with the emission control standard.
WARNING
If the connections are corroded, repair the wiring
(see Wiring: Precautions for repair) (Technical
Note 6015A, 88A, Wiring).

EXHAUST
Exhaust: Precautions for the repair
19B
I - PARTS AND CONSUMABLES FOR THE REPAIR
1 - Parts always to be replaced:
- the exhaust trunking (if fitted)
- the seal or sealing ring on the connection between the
catalytic converter or catalytic pre-converter and the
rest of the exhaust system
- the exhaust clip(s) (if fitted)
2 - Consumables (see part no. in Technical Note
5068, 04B, Consumables - Products):
- exhaust mastic
- surface cleaner
- abrasive pads
II - ADVICE TO OBSERVE
1 - During removal and refitting, the catalytic converter
or catalytic pre-converter must not receive any knocks
or impacts as this could damage it.
2 - The whole exhaust pipe is made of stainless steel.
3 - After working on the bracket between the catalytic
converter or catalytic pre-converter and the rest of the
exhaust system, ensure that the connection is perfectly
sealed.
To do this:
-clean the pressure faces of the connection using the
ABRASIVE PADS,-degrease the pressure faces of the connection using
SURFACE CLEANER and clean cloths,
-always replace the seal or sealing ring on the connec-
tion.
III - SPECIAL NOTES ON THE SINGLE UNIT
EXHAUST PIPE
1 - Cutting the single unit exhaust pipe
The exhaust pipe is a « single unit type » .
To replace different parts of the exhaust system it must
be cut.
To do this be sure to carry out these precautions in the
following order:
-correctly identify the area to be cut, as explained be-
low,
-use the cutting tool correctly (Mot. 1199-01),
-position the exhaust trunking correctly.
2 - Identifying the area of the exhaust system to be
cut
Two marks made on the exhaust system define the
area to be cut (see Exhaust: Parts and consumables
for the repair) (see MR for vehicle concerned, 19B,
Exhaust).
Example of cutting area Special tooling required
Mot. 1199-01Exhaust pipe cutter (diame-
ter 35/50 mm and diameter
50/65mm). Complete kit in a
case.
IMPORTANT
Do not park and run the engine in a place where
combustible substances and materials such as
grass or leaves can come into contact with the hot
exhaust system.
IMPORTANT
Catalytic converters contain ceramic fibres , these
are contained within a closed unit, and cannot dis-
perse. Drilling or cutting catalytic converters is pro-
hibited.
