Camshaft oil seals, replacing
Replacing exhaust camshaft oil seal
Removing
- Remove sound insulation in center and on right side.
- Remove ribbed belt and tensioning element.
- Remove upper toothed belt guard.
- Set crankshaft to markings for TDC of No. 1 cylinder (arrows) by turning central bolt on crankshaft sprocket in direction of rotation.
- Disconnect vacuum hose from EVAP canister and from throttle valve connection.
- Unbolt coolant expansion tank and power steering reservoir, but do not disconnect hoses.
- Screw M5 x 55 stud -1- into toothed belt tensioning element.
- Screw hex nut -2- with a large washer -3- onto stud -1-.
- Tension pressure piston of tensioning element just enough so that it can be secured with a suitable locking pin (e.g. from lifting appliance 2024 A).
Note:
If it is not possible to insert the locking pin, carefully tension the pressure piston of the tensioning element just enough to allow the toothed belt to be removed.
- Take toothed belt off camshaft sprocket.
- Loosen camshaft sprocket (counter-hold with 3036).
- Pull off camshaft sprocket.
- To guide oil seal extractor, screw securing bolt for camshaft sprocket (arrow) into camshaft as far as it will go (by hand).
- Remove inner part of oil seal extractor 2085 two turns (approx. 3 mm) out of outer part and lock in position with knurled screw.
- Lubricate threaded head of oil seal extractor 2085, place it in position, and exerting firm pressure, screw it into oil seal as far as possible.
- Loosen knurled screw and turn inner part of extractor against camshaft until oil seal has been extracted.
Installing
- Lightly oil sealing lip of oil seal.
- Install guide sleeve 3241/2 onto camshaft journal.
- Slide oil seal over guide sleeve.
- Press oil seal in onto stop with press sleeve 3241/1. To do this use bolt 3241/5.
- Install camshaft sprocket.
- Check installation position.
Narrow web of camshaft sprocket faces outward (arrows) and marking for No. 1 cylinder TDC is visible.
- Install securing bolt for camshaft sprocket (use counter-hold tool 3036).
- Align camshaft sprocket mark with marking on cylinder head cover.
- Align vibration damper marking with marking on lower part of toothed belt guard.
Note:
If a piston is at TDC the valves could strike the piston when turning the camshaft. To avoid damage to valves and pistons the pistons must not be at TDC.
- Install toothed belt onto camshaft sprocket.
- Pull out locking pin (arrow) and loosen piston of toothed belt tensioning element.
- Remove stud -1-.
- Turn crankshaft two complete turns in engine direction of rotation, set again to TDC and check adjustment.
- Install upper toothed belt guard.
