What engine do you have? Is your vehicle LHD or RHD?


LHD vehicle = easy job

RHD vehicle = Major Pain in the ****.

Default Questions

The videos I've seen are for cx7 US . Since mine is UKrhD version. Does the altenator still manage to come out the top. I just looked and I have a few extras in the way. Brake fluid res and such.

As I said, RHD is a Major pain in the ****.

Below are instructions from workshop manual - unfortunately there are links for most steps, which I've deleted as they won't work if clicked on.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2. Remove the charge air cooler and charge air cooler bracket.

3. Remove the drive belt.

4. Remove the exhaust manifold insulator (upper).

5. Set the brake vacuum hose out of the way.

6. Remove the brake reserve tank out of the way

7. Set the cooler hose out of the way.

8. Remove the insulator (power brake unit side).

9. Remove the A/F sensor, HO2S.

10. Remove the WU-TWC insulator.

11. Remove the clip.

12. Remove in the order indicated in the table.

13. Install in the reverse order of removal.
