Attention!
- Ensure adequate exhaust ventilation and a clean work area.
- Avoid damage to seals.
- Fuel hoses are under pressure.
- Do not bend the sensor bracket.
Removing the fuel gauge sensor on the right side of the fuel tank must be carried out in the following order. Prepare fixture «16.1.020», a container to collect escaping fuel and a clean cloth. Stop the engine and let it cool down. Completely drain the fuel from the fuel tank. Remove the rear seat and fold the trim panel forward.
Separate the insulating mat along the perforation and fold it back, while taking out the rubber plug and fold the rubber mat.
Note. Take care not to damage the seals during the operations and to take into account that the fuel hoses are under pressure.
Remove screws (1, fig. 6.102) on the left and on the right side. Open the metal covers of the left and right fuel level sensor assemblies. Unlock and disconnect supply and return pipes. Unlock and disconnect ІІІС from the right node of the fuel level sensor. If necessary, unlock and disconnect the independent heating hose.
Turning left and right, slightly move the hose together with the clamp. Loosen the hose clamp, carefully remove the hose. In doing so, make sure that the connecting fitting is not damaged.
Using fixture «16.1.020» (pic. 6.103), unscrew the screw caps of the left and right sensor assemblies.
Carefully lift the connection cover (1, fig. 6.104) When doing this, do not pull too hard on the connecting fitting of the fuel supply hose. Pay attention to the escaping fuel, which must be collected in a container and sent for disposal.
Carefully remove the sensor assembly from the fuel tank. Unlock and disconnect the pipeline (1, fig. 6.105).
Push the lock down and remove the suction jet pump from the holder. Press the latch and disconnect the hose bundle connector. Carefully remove the right sensor assembly from the fuel tank.
Attention! The fuel pump mount is filled with fuel.
Pour fuel through the top hole into a container and remove the hose bundle from the fuel tank.
The installation of the fuel gauge sensor on the right side of the fuel tank should be carried out in the reverse order, if necessary.
Replace the rubber seal of the filling level sensor and screw the rubber seal onto the edges of the sensor. Before pressing the sensor, remove the rubber seal from the edges and insert into the fuel tank opening.
Insert the sensor flange horizontally into the hole in the fuel tank so that the sensor base fits vertically into the recess in the bottom of the fuel tank. See to it that the tide (1, see fig. 6.104) on the sensor, entered the sample (2) on the tank.
When tightening the screw plug with a torque of 45 Nm (4.5 kgf·m), tooth (4) on the tank enters the groove (3) on the cork with an audible click and a sense of the moment of fixation;
Replace the hose clamps and tighten their screws to 2.0 Nm (0.2 kgf·m) with a diameter of 10 - 16 mm.
The new sensor assembly comes with a plastic shield over the hose bundle. Hook onto the lug of the plastic shield with a suitably bent wire and use it to remove the shield from the fuel tank without damaging its coating. Remove the plastic shield after filling the hose bundle.
When replacing the left fuel level sensor, it is necessary to release the clamps (1, fig. 6.106) and remove the level sensor from the mount. Unlock the AL and remove it from the mount.
