Note:
The special tool bore for the TDC position is located on the inlet
side underneath the starter motor.
For improved accessibility: unclip cable in area of special tool bore
and press to one side.
Crank engine at central bolt and secure flywheel with special tool
11 5 120 in firing TDC position of cylinder no. 1.
Automatic transmission only
Illustration does not show automatic transmission.
Important!
On engines with automatic transmissions, there is shortly
before the special tool bore (1) for the TDC position a large
bore (2) which can be confused with the special tool bore.
If the flywheel is secured in the correct bore (1) with the special
tool 11 5 120 , the engine can no longer be moved at the
central bolt.
Important!
When the engine is shut down, the inlet and exhaust
adjustment unit is normally locked in its initial position.
The situation may arise in some individual cases where this
initial position is not reached and the camshaft can continue
to be rotated in the adjustment range of the adjustment unit.
In order to avoid incorrect timing adjustment, it is essential to
check the locking of the adjustment unit and if necessary
perform locking by rotating the camshafts.
Checking locking of inlet adjustment unit in initial position:
Place special tool 11 9 270 on inlet camshaft and attempt to
rotate inlet camshaft carefully against direction of rotation.
If there is no fixed connection between inlet camshaft and inlet
adjustment unit, rotate inlet camshaft against direction of rotation
as far as it will go.
The inlet adjustment unit is locked in the initial position when the
inlet camshaft is non-positively connected to the inlet adjustment
unit.
