Removing –  Lift the engine cover by the positions -1- and push the cover forwards in the direction of the -arrow-.

–  Unscrew the securing bolts -arrows- and remove the engine soundproofing.. –  Remove front right hand side wheel housing protection: → Bodywork, exterior fitting work; Rep. gr.66. –  Remove poly V-belt → Chapter. –  Turn crankshaft in direction of engine rotation to TDC No. 1 cylinder → Chapter. –  Drain coolant → Chapter –  Remove coolant pump → Chapter. –  Unscrew the banjo bolt of the oil feed hose to the exhaust turbo charger.   WARNING The air conditioning / Climatronic cooling circuit must not be opened.   Note In order to avoid damage to the condenser or the pipes/hoses of the refrigerant, avoid pulling, bending or twisting excessively.

–  Unplug electrical connection -1- from the magnetic clutch for the compressor. –  Remove compressor bolts -arrows-. –  Remove the bracket of the coolant line on the right longitudinal beam.

–  Fasten the compressor to the lock carrier using the counterhold -T10038-.

–  Remove the coolant hoses -1- and -4- of the expansion tank. –  Disconnect the fuel supply line -3- and the line to the activated carbon vessel -2-. To do so, press the unlock tabs.

–  Disconnect the hose -2- from the vacuum pump -1-.   Note Disregard item -3-.

–  Unplug connector -arrow-. –  Undo the nut -1- and remove the hose -2- from the generator.

–  Screw out bolts -arrows- and remove alternator.   Note t  If the alternator is stuck on its support, tighten the fixing screw 2 turns less. t  Carefully tap the bolt heads with the flat side of the hammer (in this manner you release the alternator fixing clamps). –  Remove ancillary bracket → Chapter. –  Remove sump → Chapter.

–  Unscrew the fixing screw of the belt pulley. Immobilise the pulley with the retaining tool -3415- and the counterhold -3415/1-.

–  Remove Allen keys from the distribution casing and the bolts marked with -arrows-. –  Remove valve timing housing.   Note Note that crankshaft bearing bush remains in sealing flange. Fitting   Note t  From model year 2009, a diamond coated washer is installed. The washer prevent the crankshaft from being turned when the securing bolt is tightened. t  Install a diamond coated washer -7- when a washer was not fitted as original equipment → Electronic parts catalogue„ETKA“. t  The washer is fitted -7- between the bearing bush -5- and the crankshaft chain sprocket. t  Note that all contact surfaces from the securing bolt to the crankshaft chain sprocket must be free of oil and grease.

–  Clean sealing surfaces carefully. They must be free of oil and grease. 1 -  Locating bolt 2 -  Crankshaft pulley 3 -  Diamond coated washer (clipped onto crankshaft belt pulley) 4 -  Crankshaft oil seal 5 -  Bush 6 -  O ring 7 -  Diamond coated washer Install in reverse order to dismantling, noting the following:   Note Make sure that the contact surfaces of the pulley, the attachment bolt, the sleeve and the crankshaft sprocket are free of grease and oil.   Note t  The distribution casing is still sealed towards the engine with a gasket and sealant → catalogue of spare parts. t  The sealant → catalogue of spare parts is to prevent leaks between the distribution casing and the joints -1- and -2-. t  The sealant point must have a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of approx. 1 mm. t  Do not apply sealant until directly before the valve timing housing is fitted.

–  Apply the silicone sealant -D 176 501 A1- to the sealant on the camshaft housing / cylinder head -1- and cylinder head / cylinder block -2-. –  Fit new gasket onto dowel pins. –  For ease of assembly, tighten two studs -M6x80- on the cylinder head and engine block –  Fit valve timing housing with crankshaft bearing bush simultaneously onto studs, dowel pins and crankshaft journal. –  Tighten valve timing housing securing bolts evenly and diagonally. Ensure that timing housing is not canted. –  Align the engine using a shaking movement so that the supports are not under any tension.   Note Specified torques for assembly mountings → Chapter. –  Install crankshaft belt pulley → Chapter. Continue installation following reverse order for removing. Tightening torques:
