Exhaust system, servicing: Notes
NOTE:
- Always replace gaskets and self-locking nuts.
- After exhaust system repairs, make sure the exhaust system is not under stress and is far enough from the body. If necessary, loosen clamps and align mufflers and exhaust pipes so that there is adequate distance to the vehicle body, and weight is evenly distributed among the exhaust hangers.
- Use a screwdriver to unfasten and tighten lock washers for heat shields. Tightening torque: 2 Nm.
- The flex joint in the front exhaust pipe must not be bent more than 10 °, otherwise it may be damaged.
