Installing timing chain
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Porsche Macan and 2015 Porsche Macan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Information
- The rolling direction of the timing chain must always be the same.
- If the timing chain is to be reused, the rolling direction of the timing chain must be marked before it is removed.
Information
If the timing chain has to be removed or replaced, check the guide and tensioning rails as well as the chain pinions for wear and scoring and replace them if necessary.
Camshaft timing gears and camshaft controllers must be fitted and it must be possible to turn them (without tilting).
- Check that the guide and tensioning rails are installed at the correct position.
- Fit timing chain loosely on all sprockets. Check that the timing chain is at the correct position on the guide rails.
