Removing the crankshaft sensor
Risk of burning!
- Perform all work only on components that have cooled down.
Damage to the acoustic cover/design cover.
Jerky movements during disassembly and application of excessive force during installation may result in breakage of the acoustic cover/design cover.
- Disassemble or mount the acoustic cover/design cover carefully.
- Disassemble or mount snap-lock couplings of the ball pivots one after the other.
- Disassemble or mount the acoustic cover/design cover only at temperatures > 20°C.
- Use only distilled water as an auxiliary material during installation, no lubricants.
Electrostatic discharge.
Damage to or destruction of electrical components.
- Leave the electrical components in their original packaging until they are being installed. Only use the original packaging for returning the product. Always package removed components straight away.
- Read and comply with user information on using the associated special tool 12 7 060.
- Only tap the housings of electrical components. Do not tap pins or multi-pin connectors directly.
- Wear electrically conductive clothing and antistatic shoes (with ESD symbol).
- For additional information see: NOTES ON ESD (ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE) PROTECTION .
