2. Separate engine thermostat housing (A, Figure 1) from engine to allow clearance for removal of camshaft solenoid; refer to WIS: AR20.10-P-2710A.
Note: (regarding above WIS instructions):
^ Perform steps 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 only.
^ Do not drain coolant at radiator, allow coolant to drain from thermostat housing and engine when separated (drain coolant into drain pan - do not
reuse).
3. Disconnect camshaft solenoid connector (B, Figure 1) from camshaft solenoid (C).
4. Remove 3 bolts (arrows, Figure 1) securing camshaft solenoid (C) to engine then remove camshaft solenoid (C).
5. Install new stop plug (D) into new camshaft solenoid (C).
6. Apply sealing material to new camshaft solenoid (C, Figure 1) then install in reverse order (tighten bolts to 8 Nm).
7. Reinstall thermostat housing (A, Figure 1) in reverse order, refer to WIS: AR20.10-P-2710A
Note:
^ Install new "O"-ring
^ Top off coolant as needed
^ Tighten bolts to: 10 Nm.
8. Install adapter harness:
^ Connect adapter harness between connector on camshaft solenoid (C, Figure 2) and engine harness.
^ Secure adapter harness connector (A, Figure 2) to engine harness sheath (B) with cable tie (arrow). Note: Ensure cable tie (arrow) is secured to engine
harness sheath (B) as shown otherwise wire chafing may occur.
