Removing and Installing/Replacing Inlet and Exhaust Adjustment Units on Right Side
11 36 048 Removing and installing/replacing inlet and exhaust adjustment units on right side (N63)Special tools required:
Important!
When the engine is shut down, the inlet and exhaust camshaft adjuster 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 camshaft adjuster.
Where central bolts are not greased at the bolt contact points up to engine number 20024295, the adjustment gear must be replaced for safety reasons.
The central bolts is greased from engine number 20024296.
(cylinder bank 1 to 4)
Necessary preliminary work:
^ Read fault memory and make a documentary record
^ Remove right cylinder head cover
^ Remove right gear case cover
^ Check timing.
To release central bolts, use special tool 11 9 890 or grip at hexagon head of camshaft.
Important!
If special tool 11 9 890 can not be fitted, it is necessary when releasing the central bolt to grip the hexagon head of the respective camshafts.
Release central bolts (1 and 2) of intake and exhaust camshaft adjusters.
Installation note:
Replace central bolts after releasing.
Important!
Check whether head of central bolt (1) is greased (see arrow).
If no grease can be seen on the bolt head of central bolt (1), the inlet and exhaust adjustment unit must be replaced for safety reasons.
Installation note:
Coat contact face of central bolt (1) with copper paste.
Release hexagon socket screw.
Release special tool 11 9 900 at knurled screws and remove.
Release screws (1).
Remove upper tensioning rail (2).
Remove central bolt (1) of exhaust adjustment unit.
Installation note:

Lift out exhaust adjustment unit (2).
Remove central bolt (1) of inlet adjustment unit.
Installation note:

Important!
Danger of mix-up:
Intake and exhaust camshaft adjusters are different.
Mixing up the inlet and exhaust adjustment units will cause damage to the engine.
1. Intake camshaft adjuster (1) is marked IN
2. Exhaust camshaft adjuster (2) is marked OUT
Installation note:
Coat contact face of central bolt (1) with copper paste.
Note:
Position of adjustment units in relation to timing chain can be freely selected.
Feed adjuster into timing chain and position on camshafts.
Insert central bolts (1 and 2) on adjustment units without gaps.
Release central bolts (1 and 2) by 90°.
Fit sliding rail (2) and secure with screws (1).
