Installation Notes

1. Check for "Line Tension": Before tightening the 080V97401-0390, ensure the pipe is sitting naturally in the clip. If you have to "pull" the pipe into the clip, the resulting tension will eventually cause the pipe to crack.
2. Inspect the Rubber Cushion: Ensure the rubber lining of the clip is fully seated and not pinched. The rubber acts as a dampener; if it's damaged, metal-to-metal contact will occur, leading to rapid wear.
3. Clean the Mounting Surface: Wipe away any grease or oil from the engine block mounting point. A clean contact ensures the clip doesn't shift or rotate during heavy engine load.
4. Avoid Over-Torquing: Use a hand-tightening method followed by a quarter-turn with a wrench. Over-tightening can crush the pipe or strip the threads of the mounting bolt.
5. Periodic Inspection: During every oil change (approx. 30,000km), physically wiggle the pipes secured by these clips. If there is any "play," the 080V97401-0390 should be tightened or replaced.
