Timing chain cover (left-side) - tightening torque and tightening sequence

–  Tighten bolts for timing chain cover (left-side) in the sequence -1 ... 8- to 9 Nm.

  Note
The brackets -arrows A and B- are secured together with the timing chain cover (left-side).

 
Timing chain cover (right-side) - tightening torque and tightening sequence

–  Tighten bolts for timing chain cover (right-side) in the sequence -1 ... 8- to 9 Nm.

  Note
The bracket -arrow- is secured together with the timing chain cover (right-side).
  
Timing chain cover (bottom) - tightening torque and tightening sequence

  Note
Renew the bolts tightened with specified tightening angle.

–  Tighten bolts in 6 stages as follows:

Stage Bolts Tightening torque/angle specification

1. -arrows- Apply locking fluid when installing; 5 Nm
Locking fluid → Electronic parts catalogue

2. -1 … 12- 8 Nm in diagonal sequence

3. -arrows- 8 Nm
4. -2, 7, 8, 9- 22 Nm in diagonal sequence
5. -1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12- Turn 90° further in diagonal sequence
6. -arrows- turn 90° further
