17.   Clean sealing surfaces and remove gasket remnants.
18.   Detach oil baffle plate from balancer shaft unit.
Important:   Only one balancer piece may be installed
19.   Detach balancer shaft unit from cylinder block and crankshaft bearing cap and remove with balancer piece. For better allocation, a number (identification) is located on the balancer piece. The tooth backlash can also be adjusted using balancer pieces of varying thickness.

Identification

Thickness of balancer piece in mm

55

0.535 to 0.565

58

0.565 to 0.595

61

0.595 to 0.625

64

0.625 to 0.655

67

0.655 to 0.685

70

0.685 to 0.715

73

0.715 to 0.745

76

0.745 to 0.775

79

0.775 to 0.805

82

0.805 to 0.835

85

0.835 to 0.865

Note:   The next larger or smaller balancer piece changes the tooth backlash by approx. 0.02 mm!

Example for selecting the balancer piece: with an installed balancer piece with the mark "70" a tooth backlash of 0.08 mm was determined. If a balancer piece with the mark "67" is then installed, then this produces a tooth backlash of approx. 0.06 mm.
.
20.   Turn the crankshaft in the direction of engine rotation to "1st Cylinder TDC" (mark 1) using the fastening bolt for the toothed belt drive gear.
21.   Turn balancer shafts so that both flattened sides (arrows) point downward and form a horizontal line.
22.   Attach selected balancer piece (2) with balancer shaft unit to cylinder block and crankshaft bearing cap
•   Tighten all bolts uniformly 20 Nm + 45°

23.   Following installation of balancer shaft unit, tooth backlash must be re-checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
Note:   If the balancer shaft unit needs to be replaced, use the thickest balancer piece (identification "85") for the initial installation to ensure a tooth backlash in any case.

  Install

24.   Attach oil baffle plate to balancer shaft unit 8 Nm
25.   Apply a bead of adhesive sealing compound (black) to joints (arrows) of oil pump and rear crankshaft bearing cap
26.   Insert upper part of oil pan (1) with new gasket and oil intake pipe
27.   Attach oil intake pipe to oil pump with new seal ring 8 Nm 1)

Installation sequence:
1. Tighten all bolts loosely.
2. Tighten bolts at cylinder block and oil pump 20 Nm
3. Tighten bolts at transmission housing 40 Nm .
