Emissions Control Module: Notes

NOTE:

The emissions control module is among other things attached to the engine with four adjusting elements. These adjusting elements outside have left threads When bolting the bolt -1- takes up the adjusting element -2- due to the friction on the guides -3-. Via the left threads the adjusting element and the bolt head move opposite. Despite turning the bolt clockwise from which the play between the components is adjusted. The adjusting element must be easily tunable on its left threads. Otherwise the guides on the bolt do not bring enough friction to take up the adjusting element. Do not use any lubricants in the guides, so that the friction is not reduced.
