Risk of fire! Danger of explosion!
- When working on the fuel system, make sure the workstation has sufficient ventilation, e.g., by means of extraction.
- Tightly seal off open lines and connections; collect any leakage fuel directly at the point of exit.
- No fire, sparks, open flames or smoking.
WARNING:
On releasing high pressure line, fuel may emerge at high speed.
Injury hazard!

Number Description 1 Test gauges for fixing in place the intake camshaft 2 Test gauges for fixing in place the exhaust camshaft NOTE: RISK OF DAMAGE
Damage to the engine.
If the engine is manually rotated in the wrong direction of rotation, the engine can be damaged.
* Only rotate the engine manually in the correct direction of rotation: a) clockwise when looking at the damper, or b) counterclockwise when looking at the chain drive, b) applies only if the timing chain is installed in the rear. - With the special tool 0 493 380 (116 480) turn the engine In arrow direction to the TDC firing position of cylinder 1.
- Make sure the marks (1) on the intake camshaft (E) and the exhaust camshaft (A) are legible from above.
- Make sure the can (1) on the exhaust camshaft on cinder 1 is pointing slightly to the inside right at an angle.
- Make sure the cam (1) on Intake camshaft on cylinder 1 is pointing leftwards at an angle.
- Make sure that the flat sections (1) on the intake and exhaust camshafts point upwards.
- Position the basic carrier (1) from the set of special tools 2 456 372 on the cylinder head.
- Tighten the screws (1) from special tool set 2 456 372 on the basic carrier (2).TIGHTENING TORQUES SPECIFICATION
Basic carrier to cylinder head M6 Tightening torque 8 Nm - Position the test gauge (1) from the set of special tools 2 358 122 between the intake camshaft and the basic carrier from the set of special tools 2 456 372.
- Position the test gauge (2) from the set of special tools 2 358 122 between the exhaust camshaft and the basic carrier from the set of special tools 2 456 372.
