  View original topic: order of install of accessories?

84 1.9 wbx. Last week i got the engine installed. aside from the exhaust, everything else was on it. I'm wondering if there is any particular order the engine accessories should be connected?

the things i can think of are:
coolant in and out
heater core in and out
fuel in and out
Injector conections
air box assembly
radiator expansion tank
throttle cable

one of the coolant pipes has me a little confused - it's the crossover pipe i think... does that connect to the expansion tank, just above the water pump?

are there any videos that show the steps in assembly after the engine is installed?

get the injector connections done first - these need to be CLEAN! You want to keep the dirt out of the injection system at all cost.

Then same for your coolant-you don't want anything dropping in while your not looking...seriously... some crazy spider or other wildlife you have up there in the land of trees!

really there is no real order in all this, just the common sense.

You do not have the Bentley manual yet?

btw, the ac duct is on the way.

here's pics of my 1.9 for your routing of coolant lines.


The two big hoses on the right forward pipes and the crossover pipe is connected to the one under these two. It is the bottom connection.
