REMOVINGINSTALLING Remove/install     
1 Switch off ignition    
2 Remove air filter housing   AR09.10-P-1150SX
3 Remove chain tensioner INSTALLATION IMPORTANTInstall new chain tensioner  . The previously installed chain tensioner must not be reinstalled because during removal, its pressure pin is pressed into the end position. The thrust pin latch prevents this return stroke. This would overstretch the timing chain on reinstalling. AR05.10-P-7800SX
  Right-hand side     
4 Remove camshaft adjuster for right exhaust camshaft (1)   AR05.20-P-7201SY 
5 Remove cap (26)    
6 Detach center valve (7) IMPORTANT Observe loosening direction.
INSTALLATION NOTES Tightening of center valve (7) may only take place for a removed chain tensioner. Malfunctions of camshaft adjustment can occur otherwise.

TORQUE SPECIFICATION *BA05.20-P-1009-02A 
7 Remove the right cylinder head cover   AR01.20-P-5014SY
8 Mark timing chain relative to the camshaft adjuster (15) using color codes (25) IMPORTANT Engine positioned at 40° crankshaft angle after ignition TDC.
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT Check position of intake camshaft (3) based on color coding (25).
 
9 Remove tensioning rail (24)   AR05.10-P-8127SX
10 Remove center valve (7) and pulse wheel (11) INSPECT Check dowel pin (18) and pin (19). If a dowel pin (18) or pin (19) is sheared off then this must be removed from camshaft adjuster (15).
INSTALLATION NOTES Always replace pulse wheel (11). When tightening center valve (7) there is a risk that dowel pin (18) or pin (19) may shear off at pulse wheel (11).
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT Lubricate center valve (7) at contact surface with pulse wheel (11) before assembly.
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT Align dowel pin (18) on pulse wheel (11) with bore (20) in camshaft adjuster (15).
 
11 Remove timing chain from camshaft adjuster (15) and detach camshaft adjuster (15) forwards from intake camshaft (3) INSTALLATION IMPORTANT Lubricate contact surfaces to intake camshaft (3) and camshaft adjuster (15) before mounting camshaft adjuster (15).
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT Align color coding (25) on camshaft adjuster (15) and timing chain with each other. Align dowel pin (21) in the camshaft adjuster (15) with fitted bore (22) in intake camshaft (3).

INSTALLATION IMPORTANT Lubricate center valve (8) at contact surface with pulse wheel (12) before assembly.
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT Align dowel pin (18) for pulse wheel (12) with fitted bore (20) in camshaft adjuster (16).
 
18 Remove timing chain from camshaft adjuster (16) and detach camshaft adjuster (16) towards the front from intake camshaft (4) INSTALLATION IMPORTANT Lubricate contact surfaces to intake camshaft (4) and camshaft adjuster (16) before the mounting camshaft adjuster (16).
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT Align color coding (25) on camshaft adjuster (16) and timing chain with each other. Align dowel pin (21) in camshaft adjuster (16) with fitted bore (22) in intake camshaft (4).
