If the line brackets are not fitted at the correct distance from the bead, carefully prise the line
brackets off the engine carrier and fit them at the specified distance on the engine carrier.
Then check that the line brackets are fitted securely.
If the line brackets can be pulled off the engine carrier by hand using only a small amount of
force, they must be removed and new line brackets (Part No. 999.651.401.01) must be
fitted at the relevant position.

A modified vacuum line for exhaust flaps is available with immediate effect.
This modified vacuum line further improves the routing of the line to prevent it from slipping off the
exhaust flaps.
Only the new vacuum line specified below must therefore be used from now on for carrying out this
campaign.
This measure does not have to be carried out again on vehicles on which the vacuum line has already
been replaced as part of this campaign.
