– Remove with a flat spatula the residues of Engine silicone  
sealant -D 176 404 A2- present on the engine block.  
– Remove Engine silicone sealant -D 176 404 A2- residues from  
oil crankcase with a portable drill and plastic brush (wear gog‐  
gles).  
– Clean the sealing surfaces. Must be lubricating oil free.

Installation  
lk  
Note  
Observe the expiry date for the Engine silicone sealant -D 176  
404 A2- .  
Oil crankcase must be installed within five minutes after ap‐  
plying the Engine silicone seal - D 176 404 A2- .  
The oil crankcase is more easily and safely installed if threa‐  
ded bolts M6 are used as guides in two points of the engine  
block flange.  
– Cut the tube nozzle by the front mark (Ø nozzle approx. 3 mm).  
– Apply the Engine silicone sealant -D 176 404 A2- , as shown,  
onto clean sealing surface of oil pan. The cord of Engine sili‐  
cone sealant -D 176 404 A2- must be:  
♦ 2...3 mm thick  
♦ Circle from inside the bolt holes -arrows-.  
Note  
The Engine silicone sealant - D 176 404 A2- cord should not be  
thicker, otherwise, the excess Engine silicone sealant -D 176 404  
A2- may reach the oil pan and clog the filter in the oil suction tube.  
– Immediately install the oil crankcase and tighten bolts in the  
indicated sequence:  
– Tighten oil crankcase bolts to 15 Nm torque.  
Note  
After installing the crankcase, the Engine silicone sealant -D 176  
404 A2- must dry within approximately 30 minutes. After that, the  
engine may be replenished with engine oil.

Special tools and workshop  
equipment required  
♦ Oil pressure gauge -VAG  
1342 -  
♦ Voltage control -VAG 1527  
B-  
♦ Auxiliary measuring cable  
set - VAG 1594 C-  
1.3.1  
Check conditions  
Oil level OK - check ⇒ page 48  
Engine oil temperature, at least 176 °F (the Radiator fan -V7-  
must have been activated at least once).  
Note  
Operation and repair test of oil pressure visual and acoustic indi‐  
cators. ⇒ Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting  
locations.

Test sequence  
lk  
– Remove Oil pressure switch -F1- and install it on the Oil pres‐  
sure gauge -VAG 1342- .  
– Install the Oil pressure meter -VAG 1342- in place of the Oil  
pressure switch -F1- on the engine head.  
– Put tester brown cable on the earth (-).  
– Connect the Voltage control -V.A.G 1527 B- with Auxiliary ca‐  
ble -V.A.G 1594 A- to the Battery -A- positive terminal (+) and  
Oil pressure switch -F1- . The LED shall not light up.  
– If it the LED lights up, replace the Oil pressure switch -F1- .  
– Run the engine and slowly increase the speed (rpm). With a  
0.3...0.6-bar positive pressure, the LED should light up, oth‐  
erwise, replace the Oil pressure switch -F1- .  
– Keep on increasing the speed. At 2000 rpm and an oil tem‐  
perature of 80°C, the positive oil pressure should be at least  
2.0 bar.  
At higher speeds, positive oil pressure may not exceed 7.0 bar.
