Removing and Installing/Replacing Inlet and Exhaust Adjustment Units on Left Side
11 36 047 Removing and installing/replacing inlet and exhaust adjustment units on left side (S63)Special tools required:
Important!
When the engine is shut down, the inlet and exhaust adjustment unit is normally locked in its initial position.
The situation may arise in some individual cases where this initial position is not reached and the camshaft can continue to be rotated in the adjustment range of the adjustment unit.
Where central bolts are not greased at the bolt contact points up to engine number 20024295, the camshaft adjuster must be renewed due to safety reasons.
The central bolts is greased from engine number 20024296.
(cylinder bank 5 to 8)
Necessary preliminary tasks:
^ Read fault memory and make a documentary record
