Information

The tightening specifications for the basic engine are stored centrally (→ 1001IN TIGHTENING TORQUES, TIGHTENING SEQUENCES, ASSEMBLY OVERVIEWS ).

Tightening Torques and assembly instructions for other assemblies (e.g. chassis, electrics, transmission or body) or for peripheral engine equipment can be found in the corresponding documents.

Lift timing chain and place camshaft controller carefully on the camshaft → Camshaft controller on camshaft . In order to have sufficient play in the timing chain, turn camshaft timing gear back and forth as required → Turning camshaft timing gear . Place timing chain on the camshaft controller.
