-- Have a second technician tension the Electronic Torque Wrench 3-60Nm: VAS6583  with insertion adapter Hazet 6423C with Torque Wrench Insert - Ring Tool Attachment AF41: VAS261001  and Counterholder: T90001  on the exhaust camshaft adjuster to 26 Nm counter-clockwise -arrow- and hold.

• Protection torque without using the insertion adapter Hazet 6423C is 30 Nm.

-- Tighten the control valves with Socket E24: T90000  as follows while the camshaft adjuster is still being held under tension:

• Control valve -2- on intake camshaft 30 Nm.
• Control valve -1- on exhaust camshaft 30 Nm.

• The help of a second technician is necessary for the following step.

-- Have a second technician tension the Electronic Torque Wrench 3-60Nm: VAS6583  with insertion adapter Hazet 6423C or Stahlwille 7370/10 with Torque Wrench Insert - Ring Tool Attachment AF41: VAS261001  and Counterholder: T90001  on the exhaust camshaft adjuster to 26 Nm counter-clockwise -arrow- and hold.

• Protection torque without using the insertion adapter Hazet 6423C or Stahlwille 7370/10 is 30 Nm.

• It must be easy to insert the Camshaft Lock: T40331/1  .
