Work procedure
– Insert the dial gauge -A- with extension -T10170/1 - up to the stop and fix in place using the
clamping screw -arrow-.
– Rotate the crankshaft in direction of rotation of engine on TDC for cylinder 1. Note down the
position of the small pointer of the dial gauge.
– Press the tensioning rail -1- in the -direction of the arrow- and interlock the piston with rig pin -
T40011-.
– Mark with a suitable felt-tip pen the direction of rotation of the timing chain -3-.
Note
The central screw of the camshaft adjuster -2- has a left-hand thread.
– Release screws -2- and -4- and remove the camshaft adjuster -1- with the timing chain -3-. Use
counterholder -T10172- for this purpose.
– Replace screws -2- and -4- and tighten screw -2- to 40 Nm and screw -4- to 50 Nm; to do so use
counterholder -T10172-.
– Release screws -2- and remove chain sprocket of inlet camshaft -1- with timing chain -3-. Use
counterholder -T10172- for this purpose.
– Tighten the screws -2- and the screws -2- to 50 Nm (to do so use counterholder -T10172 -).
– Turn the inlet and exhaust camshaft until the camshaft fixer/locator -T10171- or -T10171A- can be
inserted up to the stop into the camshaft openings.
The locking bolts -arrows 1- must engage in the holes of the camshafts-arrows 2-. The inscription
“TOP”-arrow 3- must be legible from above.
Note
Note
– Place the timing chain onto the camshaft chain sprockets (pay attention to the direction of rotation
of the chain) and reinsert the removed chain sprocket.
– Screw in the camshaft screws so far so that the camshaft chain sprockets can be turned.
– Tighten the timing chain, by pulling out the rig pin -T40011-.
Note
If the crankshaft is turned more than 0.01 mm over TDC, the crankshaft must once again be turned
approx 45°. Then position the crankshaft in direction of rotation of engine on TDC for cylinder 1.
– Hold the camshaft chain sprockets -1- and -5- in this position with the counterholder -T10172- and
tighten the screw -2- (left-hand thread) to 40 Nm and screw -4- to 50 Nm.
– Hold the camshaft chain sprockets -1- and -4- in this position with the counterholder -T10172- and
tighten screws -2- to 50 Nm.
Note
When tightening the camshaft screws, the crankshaft must not turn and the timing chain -3- must
remain tightened.
– Turn again the crankshaft by 2 turns in the direction of rotation of the engine on TDC for cylinder
1.
– Insert the camshaft fixer/locator -T10171- or -T10171A- up to the stop into the camshaft openings.
– Repeat setting.
– Hold the camshaft chain sprockets with the counterholder -T10172- and torque the screws -2-
(left-hand thread) and -4- a further 90° (1/ turn) with a rigid wrench.

– Hold the camshaft chain sprockets with the counterholder -T10172- and torque the screws -2- a
further 1/ turn (90°) with a rigid wrench.

Note
t On engine with identification characters BTS, the central screw of the camshaft adjuster -2- has a
left-hand thread.
t The camshaft chain sprockets must not turn when tightening.
– Once again turn the crankshaft by 2 turns in the direction of rotation of the engine on TDC for
cylinder 1.
– Insert the camshaft fixer/locator -T10171- or -T10171A- up to the stop into the camshaft openings.
– Repeat setting.
Further installation occurs in a similar way in reverse order to removal. Pay attention to the following:
