I need help with replacing an oil trap on a 2000 V40 T 1.9? Does anyone have any steps on the job?

Is this correct Gerber? I know you have some pictures

Preparation
Remove the front engine cover if applicable.


Disconnect the battery negative lead. First read Note when disconnecting and connecting the battery lead .


Drain the fuel injection system. See Draining the fuel injection system .




Removing the fuel rail
  • Remove:
    the cover over the ignition coils
    the crankcase ventilation hose from the top of the cam cover
    the cover over the throttle body (TB)
    the protective cover over the nozzle connectors
    the connectors from the nozzles
  • the vacuum hose for the fuel pressure regulator from the throttle body (TB).
Removing fuel line
Disconnect the quick-release connector between the fuel line and the fuel rail. Use tool 951 2666 .

Remove the mounting screws from the fuel rail.
Gently work the fuel rail and injector nozzles loose as a single unit.




Removing components
  • Remove:
    the hose from the assisted air control valve in the inlet hose
    the intake hose between the mass air flow (MAF) sensor and throttle body (TB)
    the vacuum hoses from the intake manifold
    the throttle cable
    the connectors from the assisted air control valve and throttle position (TP) switch
    the screw from the cable duct mounting in the throttle body (TB)
    the knock sensor (KS) cable from the clip
    the brake servo hose
    the bracket between the intake manifold and the pump
    the screw holding the dip stick pipe to the intake manifold
  • the upper screw for the intake manifold support bracket, slacken the lower a few turns.
Removing the intake manifold
  • Remove:
    the mounting screws for the intake manifold
    the intake manifold. Allow the crankcase ventilation hose to run through the intake manifold without disconnecting it from the flame trap
    the two water hoses for the coolant and seal so that coolant vapor cannot seep out
  • the vacuum hose.
Transferring components when replacing the intake manifold
Transfer the throttle body (TB) and the assisted air control valve. Use new gaskets. Tighten to 10 Nm.

Installing the intake manifold and gasket



Note! Ensure that the gasket faces are clean.
  • Install:
    a new gasket
    the vacuum hose
    the two heater hoses using a new G-clamp
    the intake manifold. Do not forget the crankcase ventilation hose. The hose must be inserted up through the gap between the second and third ducts
  • the screws.
Tighten all the screws starting from the center. Tighten to 20 Nm.

Install and tighten the screws for the support bracket (under the intake manifold).




Installing components
  • Install:
    the screw holding the dip stick pipe to the intake manifold
    the bracket between the intake manifold and the pump
    the brake servo hose
    the cable for the knock sensor (KS)
    the mounting screw for the cable duct in the throttle body (TB)
    the connectors on the assisted air control valve and throttle position (TP) switch
    the throttle cable
    the vacuum hoses on the intake manifold
    the intake hose between the mass air flow (MAF) sensor and throttle body (TB)
  • the hose from the assisted air control valve in the inlet hose.
Installing the fuel rail
  • Install:
    the fuel rail and the injector nozzles. Press the quick-release connector together until it clicks. Use new screws. Tighten to 10 Nm
    the vacuum hose for the fuel pressure regulator
    the crankcase ventilation hose on the top of the cam cover. Use a new clamp
    the connectors and protective cover for the injectors
  • the covers over the ignition coils and throttle body (TB).
Install the battery negative lead. First read Note when disconnecting and connecting the battery lead .




Final check
  • Test drive the car. Check the following:
    that there is no fuel leakage
  • that the engine operates normally.
Clean the engine compartment. Check that everything is in position.




Remove the intake manifold, see Replacing the intake manifold and gasket . Remove:
  • The oil trap hose
    The intake manifold mounting
    The two oil trap bolts
  • The oil trap itself.
Check that the oil trap gasket surfaces are clean.

Installing oil trap
Clean the hoses with compressed air.
Connect the two oil trap hoses to the hose stubs on the engine block.
Use a new hose clip for the top hose and tighten the bottom one.
Install the bolts and tighten them to 20 Nm.
Install the intake manifold mounting; loosely install the bottom bolt.
Use new sealing rings.
Installing intake manifoldInstall the intake manifold, see Replacing the intake manifold and gasket .
Install the front engine cover if applicable.

Thank you for the instructions. It took me about 3 hours. It was not an easy job. Hopefully, I will not have anymore oil in my spark plug wells.
