Tighten the engine hanger plate (special tool: MB992201) to the specified torque at A in the figure (injector protector mounting bolt) and B in the figure (vacuum pipe assembly mounting bolt).
Tightening torque: 20 ± 2 N·m (A in the figure)
Tightening torque: 11 ± 1 N·m (B in the figure)

2.Install the engine hanger (special tool: MB991527).
