Camshaft, Removing And Installing, Engine With One Camshaft Adjuster: Installing
Camshafts, Installing
Sealing surfaces must be completely free of oil and grease.
Pay attention that all roller rocker levers rest on the valve stem ends.
-- If the crankshaft was turned in the meantime, bring the piston for cylinder 1 to TDC and then turn the crankshaft back again slightly.
-- Remove any sealant residue from the groove on the cylinder head cover as well as on the sealing surfaces.
-- Clean the sealing surfaces. They must be free of oil and grease.
-- Lubricate the running surfaces of both camshafts.
-- Place the intake camshaft -A- in the cylinder head. Turn the cam lobes of cylinder 4 -arrows- upward.
-- Insert the exhaust camshaft -1- in the cylinder head cover. Turn the cam lobes of cylinder 4 -arrows- upward.
-- Turn the intake camshaft -1- and the exhaust camshaft -2- until the markings -arrows- are in the position shown.
-- The cams of the intake camshaft -1- and the exhaust camshaft -2- must point upward as shown -arrows-.
-- Apply the sealant on the clean sealing surface of the cylinder head cover as shown -arrows-.
Risk of engine damage due to excess sealant in the lubrication system.
- Do not apply sealant bead thicker than indicated.
- Sealant bead thickness: 1.5 to 2.5 mm
-- Mount the cylinder head cover on the cylinder head.
-- Lightly push on the cylinder head cover by hand and while doing so turn the camshaft slightly until the cylinder head cover lays >>free of tension<< on the cylinder head.
-- Replace the cylinder head cover bolts.
-- Tighten the bolts in several steps. Refer to Figure for the tightening sequence.
Pay attention that the cylinder head cover is not tilted.
-- Turn the intake camshaft with the : T40266 in direction of -arrow A- until the marks -1 and 2- align. Push the : T40271/2 in the chain sprocket splines -B-.
-- Turn the exhaust camshaft using the : T10172A in direction of -arrow A- until the markings -1 and 2- align. Slide the : T40271/1 into the chain sprocket splines in direction of -arrow B-. The mark -2- is offset slightly to the right.
-- Turn the crankshaft on the hex fitting -2- to the "TDC point". The flat area -1- faces upward toward the cylinder head when in the "TDC point".
Installing the Camshaft Timing Chain
-- Engage the camshaft timing chain with the painted links -arrows- on the camshaft pins.
-- Place the camshaft timing chain on the intake camshaft, exhaust camshaft and the crankshaft. Position the painted chain links -arrows- on the marks on the chain sprockets.
-- Install the guide rail -2- and tighten the bolts -1-.
-- Install the upper guide rail -1-.
The help of a second technician is necessary for the following step.
I - Turn the exhaust camshaft using the : T10172A slightly in direction of -arrow A-. Slide the : T40271/1 out of the chain sprocket splines in direction of -arrow B-.
II - Release the camshaft in the direction of -arrow C-, until the timing chain touches the guide rail -1-. Hold the camshaft in this position, install the tensioning rail -2- and tighten the bolts -3-. Release the camshaft.
-- Turn the intake camshaft with the : T40266 in direction of -arrow 1- until the : T40271/2 can be pushed out of the chain sprocket splines -2-. Release the camshaft.
-- Remove the : T40271/1 and : T40271/2 .
-- Install the bolts -arrows- and tighten them. Tightening specification -item ) Bolt.
- Carefully connect the bearing bracket without tilting - risk of damage.
-- Mount the bearing bracket and the bolts -arrows- hand-tight.
-- Remove the : T40267 .
-- Tighten the bearing bracket bolts -arrows-. Tightening specification OVERVIEW - CAMSHAFT TIMING CHAINS .
-- Install the chain tensioner -2- and tighten the bolt -1-. Remove the : T40011 , the oil pump chain tensioner must come into contact with the cut-out in the oil pan upper section -arrow-.
-- Check the adjustment. The painted chain links -arrows- must line up with the markings on the chain sprockets.
-- Install the control valve -item ) Control Valve.
-- Let the engine turn a second time in the direction of engine rotation.
Due to the ratio, the painted chain links no longer match up after the engine has been turned.
-- Remove the : T10531/4 and remove the : T10531/3 .
-- Install the lower timing chain cover. Refer to LOWER TIMING CHAIN COVER, REPLACING .
-- Install the engine support. Refer to ENGINE SUPPORT, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
-- Install the vacuum pump. Refer to VACUUM PUMP, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
-- Install the high pressure pump. Refer to HIGH PRESSURE PUMP, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
-- Install the upper timing chain cover. Refer to TIMING CHAIN COVER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING, ENGINE WITH TWO CAMSHAFT ADJUSTERS .
There are additional procedures depending on the model. Refer to the appropriate Service Information .
After Removing or Replacing the Camshafts the Adaptation Values for the Chain Length must be Adapted Again.
-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
-- Select Diagnostic operating mode and Start diagnostics .
-- Select the Select individual test tab and select the following tree structure consecutively:
- Drivetrain
- Select the engine code and engine
- 01 - OBD-capable systems .
