Removal and installation the engine (4-cylinder in-line engine) (Mercedes-Benz E-Class W210)

0
Contents: Removal ↡ Checking the technical condition of…↡ Installation ↡
The engine is removed from the car together with the gearbox from the engine compartment upwards. A special lifting crossbar is required for this, since it is not possible to remove the engine with a crane when the hood is raised. A 4-post lift or inspection pit is also required to perform operations from underneath the car.

Depending on the date of manufacture and engine configuration, the wiring harnesses, fuel lines, vacuum hoses, and coolant hoses in the engine compartment have different wiring. Since this manual cannot cover all configuration options in detail, we suggest marking the removed parts with paint or tags to avoid difficulties during installation.

Note: The procedure for removing and installing a 6-cylinder in-line engine is similar to that given for a 4-cylinder engine.




Removal



1. Set the hood to the vertical position by opening the hood, pressing it and holding it in this position. Press the locking lever marked "PRESS" near the right hinge and release the hood. Gas-filled shock absorbers will bring it to the vertical position.



2. Remove the engine compartment cover from below.

For models produced from 06.1995 to 06.1996, equipped with air conditioning:

3. Remove the viscous coupling of the cooling system fan. It should be noted that the fastening parts have left-hand threads.

For all models:

4. Drain the coolant and remove the radiator.

Attention! On cars equipped with air conditioning, after removing the radiator, it is necessary to protect the condenser with a 400 x 680 x 1 mm plate, which can be made independently from tin and secured with mounting brackets.


5. Disconnect the connector from the mass air flow meter.

6. Remove the cross pipe together with the upper air cleaner cover and the mass air flow meter.

7. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery.

Attention! In this case, the codes of the anti-theft system, car radio, and radio are erased from the memory of electronic devices. They must be restored later.


8. Remove the control unit cover.

9. Disconnect the control unit connector by lifting the clamps upward.

10. Disconnect the surge protection connector.

11. Disconnect the wires from the generator.

12. Disconnect the oxygen concentration sensor connector.

13. Disconnect the ground bus from the engine.

For cars with automatic transmission (AT):

14. Disconnect the connector in the engine compartment, front left. In doing so, unscrew the fastener and lift the windshield washer fluid reservoir.

For all models:

15. Disconnect the wire from the outside of the body connected to contact "30" located in the driver's footwell.

16. Disconnect the fastening of wire 1 (Fig. 5.10) of the "ground" connecting the body to the engine.

For models with air conditioning:

17. Disconnect the connector from the compressor.

For all models:

18. If the gearbox is disconnected from the engine, remove the starter.

19. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the canister valve.

20. Disconnect the accelerator rod.

21. Open the fuel tank cap briefly to relieve excess fuel vapor pressure.

Warning! Due to the risk of fire, do not use open flames, heated objects, or smoke. Gasoline vapors are poisonous, so ensure good ventilation of your work area. Wear safety glasses, as the fuel system is under pressure. Disconnecting its components may result in fuel being released.


22. Mark the fuel lines with tags or adhesive tape and disconnect them, after plugging the holes and clamping the hoses with clamps to prevent fuel leakage. Remove any leaked fuel with a rag.

23. Disconnect the vacuum lines from the intake manifold by unscrewing the union nuts.

25. Disconnect return hose 1 (Fig. 5.12) and high pressure hose 2 from the power steering pump.

For vehicles with adjustable ride height:

26. Disconnect the additional high pressure hose 3 and the suction oil line 4, having first loosened the clamps and moved them.

For all models:

27. Disconnect the cooling system hoses from the cylinder head at the rear and from the coolant pump, first loosen the clamps and move them.

Warning! Do not open the air conditioning system circuit - contact of refrigerant with skin may cause local frostbite.


For models with air conditioning:

28. Unscrew the bolts (fig. 5.13, arrows) compressor mounts 1, then, without disconnecting the hoses, hang it from the body using wire.

For all models:

29. Drain the coolant from the cylinder block into a suitable container by unscrewing the drain plug. After draining, screw the plug back in.

30. Disconnect the control rods from the gearbox.

35. Loosen the bolts securing the engine mounts to the body and the front suspension cross member.

36. If the gearbox is disconnected from the engine, remove the lower gearbox-to-engine mounting bolts.

37. Attach the lifting gear slings to the engine lugs and lift the power unit until the slings are taut.

38. Unscrew the upper bolts securing the gearbox to the engine.

Caution! When lifting the power unit, be careful not to damage the body. Pay special attention to the rear eye and oil filter.


40. Remove the engine from the car, disconnect the gearbox.

Checking the technical condition of parts



Make sure that there are no cracks or breaks in the rubber mounts of the power unit, coolant hoses, or pipelines.

The ball bearing located in the crankshaft should rotate easily and without binding.

Make sure the clutch release bearing rotates freely and does not bind during axial movement.

Check the thickness of the friction linings of the driven clutch disc.
