  1. Reduce the fuel pressure by removing fuse 2 (Underhood electric center 727, petrol engine) while the engine is running. Turn the ignition key to LOCK once the engine has stopped.

  4. Remove the inlet and return fuel pipes from the fuel rail. Use a support so that the lower connection on the fuel inlet pipe does not come loose. Use absorbent to collect any fuel spill and detach the pipe from its attachments on the camshaft cover.
