11 31 001Replacing camshafts (M47T2)

Special tools required:

• 11 3 340

• 11 5 180

• 11 6 252

• 11 6 254

• 11 6 480

Necessary preliminary tasks:

• Remove vacuum pump.
• Remove cylinder head.

Crank engine at central bolt.

The cams on the inlet
camshaft at the 1st cylinder
point downwards.
Release screw (1).
Note:

Bolt (1) must be removed

beforehand as it is no longer
accessible in TDC position.

Undo plug in timing case

cover at bottom.

Important!
No piston is permitted to be in
the TDC position risk of
damage.
Crank engine back at
crankshaft through 45°.

Turn exhaust camshaft at

hexagon head in direction of
arrow.
The hydraulic chain tensioner
can be secured in place in
this position with special
tool 11 3 340 .
Note:

The hydraulic chain tension is

forced back by rotating the
exhaust and inlet camshafts.

Lock hydraulic chain

tensioner with special
tool 11 3 340 .Note:
If the sprocket wheel is
removed without the
hydraulic chain tensioner
being locked, the chain
tensioner piston will slip out
and can then only be pressed
back again with a
considerable amount of effort.

Note:
E Inlet camshaft

A Exhaust camshaft

Install camshaft.
Position (1) of inlet camshaft
gear flush with cylinder head.
Position (2) of exhaust
camshaft gear flush with
cylinder head.

Marking (1) on inlet camshaft

must be between
markings (2) on exhaust
camshaft.
See illustration.

6(11)
The inlet camshaft bearing
covers are marked E 1 ... E 5
from the exhaust side.
The exhaust camshaft
bearing covers are marked
A 1 ... A 5 from the exhaust
side.
Fit bearing caps.
Note:

Illustration shows M47.

Insert all screws (1) and

initially tighten so that they
are free of play.
