Right cylinder head cover AR01.20-P-5014QC
9 Remove center valves (5, 6) of camshaft Check dowel pins (18) and pins (19). If a
adjuster (13, 14) and remove pulse wheel (9, dowel pin (18) or pin (19) is sheared off, this
10) must be removed from camshaft adjuster
(13, 14).
Installation: Always replace pulse
wheels (9, 10). When tightening central
valve (5, 6) there is the risk of a dowel pin
(18) or pin (19) shearing off at pulse wheels
(9, 10). Lubricate center valves (5, 6) before
assembly on pulse wheels contact surfaces
(9, 10).
Installation: Align pulse wheels (9, 10)
dowel pin (18) to fitted bores (20) in
camshaft adjusters (13, 14).
10 Counterhold exhaust camshafts (1, 2) at the *272589001000
rear and pull off camshaft adjusters (13, 14)
from the exhaust camshafts (1, 2) towards
the front
Installation: Before assembly of
camshaft adjusters (13, 14) lubricate contact
surfaces on exhaust camshaft (1, 2) and
camshaft adjusters (13, 14). Align dowel pins
(21) in camshaft adjusters (13, 14) to fitted
holes (22) in exhaust camshafts (1, 2) and
install camshaft adjusters (13, 14) in their
basic position:
See "Check basic position of camshafts". AR05.20-P-6010-01VB
11 Remove auxiliary bearing cap (17) and *BA05.20-P-1010-02A
exhaust camshaft (1)
12 Remove chain tensioner Installation: The installation sequence of
the chain tensioner must be followed to
ensure correct functioning.
M24 1.5 AR05.10-P-7800QB
M22 1.5 AR05.10-P-7800QC
In case of engine 272, both chain
tensioners can be removed whereby for
engine 273 only chain tensioner with thread
M22 1.5 is installed.
Installation: Install new chain
tensioner with thread of M22 1.5. The
previously installed chain tensioner must not
be reinstalled because during removal, its
pressure pin is pressed into the end position.
The pressure pin latch prevents this return
stroke. This would overstretch the timing
chain on reinstalling.
13 Remove tensioning rail bolt (23) Installation: Apply sealant to tensioning AR01.30-P-5800-04V
rail bolts (23) before assembly.

14 Pull tensioning rail (24) up and out of timing
case
15 Remove center valve (7) on camshaft Check dowel pin (18) and pin (19). If a
adjuster (15) and pulse wheel (11) dowel pin (18) or pin (19) is sheared off then
this must be removed from camshaft
adjuster (15).

 Installation: Always replace pulse wheel
(11). When tightening center valve (7) there
is a risk that dowel pin (18) or pin (19) may
shear off at pulse wheel (11). Lubricate
center valve (7) at contact surface to pulse
wheel (11) before assembly.
Installation: Align dowel pin (18) for
pulse wheel (11) with fitted bore (20) in
camshaft adjuster (15).
16 Remove timing chain from camshaft adjuster Installation: Lubricate contact surfaces
(15) and detach camshaft adjuster (15) on intake camshaft (3) and camshaft
forwards from intake camshaft (3) adjuster (15) before assembling camshaft
adjuster (15). Align dowel pin (21) in
camshaft adjuster (15) to fitted bore (22) in
intake camshaft (3) and install camshaft
adjuster (15) in its basic position:
See "Check basic position of camshafts". AR05.20-P-6010-01VB
17 Remove timing chain from camshaft adjuster See "Check basic position of camshafts". AR05.20-P-6010-01VB
(16) and turn camshaft adjuster (16) in basic
position
