NOTE:
RISK OF DAMAGE
Damage to the engine .
If the engine is manually rotated in the wrong direction of rotation, the engine can be damaged .
Damage to the engine .
If the engine is manually rotated in the wrong direction of rotation, the engine can be damaged .
- Only rotate the engine manually in the correct direction of rotation: a) clockwise when looking at the damper, or b) counterclockwise when looking at the chain drive. b) applies only if the timing chain is installed in the rear.
- Twist the engine with the special tool 0 493 380 (11 6 480) to the TDC firing position of the 1st cylinder .
Block the crankshaft in the TDC firing position of cylinder 1 (manual transmission) .
- On vehicles with manual transmission: Insert the special tool up to dimension (X)
in the dowel hole.
Dimension (X) = 56 mm
- Vehicles with manual gearbox:
Special tool 2 288 380 has been correctly positioned.
Engine is in TDC firing position of cylinder 1.
- Vehicles with manual gearbox:
Special tool 2 288 380 incorrectly positioned.
TDC firing position of cylinder 1 not achieved.
- Vehicles with manual gearbox:
- Open sealing cap (1)
from the oil sump.
- Vehicles with manual gearbox:
- Use the special tool 2 288 380 to block the crankshaft in the TDC firing position of cylinder 1.
NOTE:
If the crankshaft is blocked properly, it is not possible to turn the engine forwards or backwards on the vibration damper!
Check
- Check whether the mark (1) of the exhaust camshaft and the mark (2) of the intake camshaft can be read from above.
Result
» Marks (1) and (2) cannot be read from the top.
Measure
- Turn the camshafts to the correct position or re-adjust the valve timing.
Check
- Check whether the center of the three flattened areas (1) on both camshafts points upwards. The special tool 2 358 122 can also be mounted if the camshafts are twisted by 180° (central flattened area points downwards).
Result
» The center of the three flattened areas (1) does not point upwards.
Measure
- Turn the camshafts to the correct position such that the center of the three flattened areas (1) on both camshafts points upwards.
- Check whether the cam of the exhaust camshaft (1)
and the intake camshaft (2)
are positioned on the 1st cylinder as shown.
- Keep set of special tools 2 358 122
at hand:
Number Description 1 Basic carrier 2 Basic carrier screws on cylinder head 3 Gauge to fix exhaust camshaft 4 Gauge to fix intake camshaft 5 Screw gauge on basic carrier - Secure the basic carrier (1) of the special tool 2 358 122 with the screws (2) the cylinder head .
- Position gauge (3) with the recess on the exhaust camshaft and fix with the screws (5) on the basic carrier (1) .
NOTE:
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
If special tool cannot be mounted, the timing must be readjusted.
If special tool cannot be mounted, the timing must be readjusted.
- Position gauge (4) with the recess on the intake camshaft and fix with the screws (5) on the basic carrier (1) .
