Tightening sequence for intermediate pinion
  Caution
Always renew idler gear. If this is not done, there is no backlash, which causes engine damage.
The new idler gear has a special lubricant coating, which wears off after a short running period and thus automatically creates the specified backlash.
–  Tighten the bolts as follows:
1.  Tighten with torque wrench initially to 10 Nm.
2.  Turn idler gear.
Idler gear must be without play; otherwise loosen bolt and tighten again.
3.  Tighten with torque wrench to 30 Nm.
4.  Use fixed wrench to turn 90° further.
