Abstract: An arrangement of a soot filter in the exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine equipped with an exhaust gas turbocharger whose turbine housing is arranged downstream of the exhaust gas manifold. For purposes of achieving a fastening of the soot filter at the internal combustion engine which is favorable from an assembly point of view, space-saving and compensating changes in length, the soot filter and the exhaust gas turbocharger form a unit which is retained, on the one hand, angularly movably at the exhaust gas manifold by means of a pipe connection of the soot filter and, on the other, at the crankcase by way of supports arranged at the exhaust gas turbocharger on the housing side.

Abstract: An air-compressing four-cycle reciprocating piston injection internal combustion engine forming a driving engine of a motor vehicle, to which is flangedly connected a transmission by way of a clutch; the connections between the internal combustion engine and the clutch and/or between the clutch and the transmission are provided with such reinforcements that the natural frequencies of the oscillatory system, which includes the masses of the internal combustion engine, of the clutch and of the transmission, are higher than the frequencies of the dangerous exciting oscillations caused by the internal combustion engine constructed as five-cylinder in-line internal combustion engine which cannot be compensated for with the use of acceptable expenditures.
