Important Technical Notes
Torque Multiplier Requirement
For removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, a torque multiplier is required.
Torque specifications must be adjusted according to the gear ratio 1:5.
Camshaft Adjuster Preload
Camshaft adjuster control valves must be preloaded with:
- 6 Nm counterclockwise (left-hand direction)
Use of a friction torque gauge is recommended (item.no. 118535).
General Notes
- Timing chain is removed upward together with camshaft adjusters
- Camshaft adjuster control valves are NOT interchangeable
Timing Adjustment Procedure
Crankshaft
- The spring-loaded flywheel locking pin fixes the crankshaft at 118.14° after TDC
- With the tool installed, the crankshaft must not rotate
- During loosening/tightening operations, the locking pin should be removed
→ Only the locking tooth should absorb torque loads
Camshaft
- Camshaft markings:
- “E” (exhaust) and “I” (intake) must align
- Position approx. 1 o’clock / 11 o’clock
- Single notches behind the first camshaft bearing must be at 12 o’clock
- Camshaft locking tool (item.no. 122927, use as EN-52484) is inserted into these notches
- Camshafts may need slight rotation using a wrench
Before tightening camshaft control valves:
- Adapters must be preloaded with 6 Nm counterclockwise
- Then fixed using the clamping screws
Balance Shaft
- Base position is approx. 8 o’clock (flat side orientation)
High-Pressure Fuel Pump
- Must be removed for valve cover disassembly
- Before installation, correct stroke must be checked using tool (item.no. 122923)
Procedure:
- Insert alignment tool with “2” marking facing upward
- Rotate crankshaft if necessary until cam lobe is in base circle position
- In this position, the tool aligns with the cylinder head
Crankshaft Seal
- Located in the front timing cover
- Installed using mounting sleeve
Guide pins (item.no. 122926, use as EN-582483) are included for:
- Timing cover
- Crankshaft
- Oil pan
Procedure is identical for transmission-side seal.
Torque Specifications (Reference)
