19. Check Pipes for Fouls
Front pipe set to longitudinal. Check for a foul

between the front hydraulic pipe set and the
longitudinal.

20. Front Pipe Set to Subframe
Check that the rubber buffer is fitted to the hydraulic

pipe. Ensure that there is not a hard foul between the
hydraulic pipe and the sub frame.

21. Return Hose to Longitudinal
Check that the rubber buffer is fitted and that there

isn’t a hard foul between the return pipe/hose and
the underside of the longitudinal.

22. Rear Pipe to Aero Shield
Check for a foul as the rear pipes exit from the aero

under shield.
Check the hydraulic pipe routing under the aero

shield and ensure free of fouls to the fuel pipes.

23.
NOTE: View of the end of hydraulic valve
block from front of vehicle.
Valve Block to Body Stud Clearance
There should be 5mm clearance between the valve

block body and the plastic body fastener that secures
the fuel lines. Where no or very little clearance exists,
the head of the fastener should be modified, by
removing it and drilling an axial hole 5mm diameter
through the head, so that the body stud passes
through the head of the fixing.

right-hand)
There should not be a foul condition between the

hydraulic pipes and the ski bracket.
• If a foul is present, adjust the hydraulic pipes
until a clearance is achieved.

25. Carry out road test:
If the issue is not still present, return the vehicle to the customer
If the issue is still present, continue to the next step.

NOTE: If the knocking noise is still present and considered unacceptable after performing the
26.
above steps, remove and discard both underhood strut brace bars.
Remove the cowl panel grille (see TOPIx Workshop Manual section 501-02).
27. Remove both strut brace bars.

28. Remove the grommets from strut brace and discard both strut brace bars.

29.
NOTE: one foam pad is sufficient for both
strut brace bars.
Insert foam pad (BTR6506; cut to a length of 38mm) into
rear of each strut brace bar grommet as shown.

30. Insert the grommets as shown.

31.
NOTE: discard the four (4) fixing bolts that
attach the brace bar to the bulk head (below wind
screen).
Install strut brace bar bolts back into the struts as
shown; tighten to 55Nm.

32. Install the cowl panel grille (see TOPIx Workshop Manual, section 501-02).
33. After performing all listed remedial actions, it is possible that a low level of residual knocking noise may still be
present. This low level of knocking noise may be caused by the Dynamic Response system's hydraulic operation. If
