Replace spark plugs of cylinder bank 2
Removing ignition coil of cylinder bank 2
NOTE:
RISK OF DAMAGE
Damage to the ignition coil .
The silicone hose of the ignition coil must not be contaminated by fuel as this can lead to failure of the ignition coil .

The silicone hose of the ignition coil must not be contaminated by fuel as this can lead to failure of the ignition coil .
- When working on the fuel system, cover the ignition coils with suitable materials and remove where required.
- Do not oil or grease the silicone tube of the spark plug socket. Do not use any protection or maintenance products (e.g. silicone spray, rubber care products, rust remover, etc.).
NOTE:
The description is provided only at one component. The procedure is the same for all other components.
NOTE:
Schematic diagram is for example purposes. Some parts may differ in certain details.
- Unlock and disconnect the connectors (2) from the injectors with a small slotted screwdriver (1).
- Unlock the lock in the direction of the arrow with a small slotted screwdriver (1). Disconnect the connector (2) on the connector housing from the injector.
- Unlock the connectors (arrows) and disconnect.
- Loosen nut (1).
- Loosen screw (2).
- Remove the cable clip (3) and put to one side.
- Loosen screws (1).
- For equipment specification with RDE2:
Slowly pull the ignition coils (2) up and take them out without jerking them.
Pulling out the ignition coil with jerks may cause silicone hose to tear.
- After removing the ignition coils: Fuse off the silicone hose (1) of the ignition coils with an air gun (2).
The ignition coils must be free from oil, fuel residue, and coolant residue.

- Collect dirt particles, e.g. when blowing out, use cloth to do so.
- Wear safety goggles.
NOTE:
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Clean spark plug slot with compressed air .
The spark plug shaft must be cleaned using compressed air after having removed the ignition coils and before removing the spark plugs. After having removed the spark plugs, once again check the sealing surface for contamination and (if necessary) clean using a moist cloth or clean using compressed air.
Deposits that are not removed according to instructions may enter the combustion chamber and lead to uncontrolled combustion. Remaining deposits on the spark plug sealing surfaces may lead to leaks and the spark plugs may come loose during engine operation.
Spark plug threads must not be greased or oiled. Insufficiently tightened spark plugs may cause leaks and the sparks plugs may come loose during engine operation.

NOTE:
The description is provided only at one component. The procedure is the same for all other components.
- Unscrew the spark plugs with the special tool 0 495 560 (12 1 220)
and an extension with joint
.
Flexible ratchet extensions must always be used. If rigid mounting tools are used, there is a risk of insulator breakages.
Also, do not use a variable plug connection with locking capability as this poses a danger of insulator breakage.

- Insert spark plug (1) into special tool 0 496 065 (12 1 230) .
NOTE:
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Do not drop spark plug into spark plug shaft! This can lead to a reduction of the electrode gap and can thus impair smooth running of the engine, especially in idle position.

- Make sure the spark plug does not fall into the spark plug shaft.
- First screw spark plugs into the engine using special tool 0 496 065 (12 1 230) and tighten manually.
NOTE:
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Exclusively swiveling extensions may be used for the reversible ratchet. Rigid mounting tool and variable plug connections with rigid option may not be used; there is a risk that the insulator breaks.
