Exhaust: Precautions for the repair
19B
Note:
If there are leaks from the EXHAUST TRUNKING
WITH 1 BOLT, apply EXHAUST MASTIC to the
trunking (see par t no. in Technical Note 5068, 04B,
Consumables - Products).
If the application of exhaust mastic does not fix the
leak:
-remove and replace the used exhaust trunking,
-check the condition of the exhaust pipes (condition
of the pipe surface, deburring of the area cut,
damage to the pipes).
-fit the new trunking in accordance with the instruc-
tions given before.

-the exhaust pipe springs and bolts on the catalytic
converter.aTorque tighten the exhaust pipe bolts on the cata-
lytic converter (21 Nm).
aCheck the following and deal with if necessary:
-that there is no contact with the underbody,
-the presence and correct positioning of all the ex-
haust pipe heat shields.
III - FINAL OPERATION.
