13 53 ... Remove, install replace one injector N55 as from engine number 14407685 (hold-down device concept at the top)

Special tools required:







It is of vital importance to adhere to the warnings on removing the injectors.







Necessary preliminary tasks:
- Disconnect negative battery terminal (risk of fire due to short-circuiting on dismantling).
- Remove ignition coil of corresponding cylinder.
- Disconnect pressure lines of corresponding cylinder.







NOTE: The following description applies to all injectors in cylinders 1-6.

Unlock connector (1) from injectors and detach.
Slacken nut (2).
Tightening torque 12 90 5AZ.
Remove ground cable (3).







IMPORTANT:
First, release screw (2). The, release screw (1).
Otherwise, the hold-down device may tilt.

Remove holding-down element (3).
Pull injectors upward out of cylinder head and remove.

NOTE:
If several injectors are removed, ensure that each injector is reinstalled in its original location (cylinder).
Mark injectors.







Procedure in event of stuck injector:
Use special tool 0 496 885 to remove injectors that are stuck.
Lightly oil pull-out thread (1) and unscrew completely (see graphic) before using the special tool.

IMPORTANT: Pull-out thread (1) is a left-hand thread.







Fit special tool (1) 0 496 885 on injector slot. Join screws (2) to injector slot by a few threads. Screw in pull-out thread (4) until it is possible to screw the threaded sleeves (3) onto the injectors. Screw threaded sleeves (3) onto injectors and tighten down.
Tighten down screws (2).
Tightening torque 13 53 13AZ.







IMPORTANT: Set torque wrench (1) to 5 Nm clockwise rotation. Together with special tool 0 496 885 this corresponds to a tensile force of max. 2000 N. The injector must be replaced if the torque wrench is activated when the injector is pulled out.

Fit torque wrench (1) and special tool (2) 00 9 170 on hexagon head (3) of special tool 0 496 885.
Turn torque wrench (1) in clockwise direction until the injector is pulled out.







After removing, fit protective caps (1 and 2) to injector tip and fuel line connection.

Installation note:
When installing a new injector:
- Replace decoupling element (3).







Installation note:
When reusing fuel injector:
- Replace decoupling element (1).
- Replace PTFE sealing ring (2).
A PTFE sealing ring which has been installed in the cylinder head must be renewed before the injector is reinstalled.







Renew the PTFE sealing ring:
Before replacing PTFE seal (1), make sure hands and work surface are clean and free of oil.
Avoid mechanical contact with injector tip (2).







Remove PTFE sealing ring (2) with special tool (3) 13 0 191 from injector (1).
Use a fluff-free cloth only to remove combustion residues from cylindrical part of injector tip (do not use ultrasound or other tools/agents).
Do not clean injector tip.







Slide new PTFE sealing ring (1) onto mounting taper (2) 13 0 283.







Mount PTFE sealing ring (1) with mounting taper (2) 13 0 283 onto injector tip (3).

NOTE:
- Do not use fingernails to slide PTFE sealing ring on.
- Do not use any lubricating agents.
- The sealing ring is expanded when slid on.







Using special tool (1) 13 0 281 push PTFE sealing ring into injector groove (3).







To bring the widened PTFE sealing ring to installation size, push special tool (1) 13 0 282 as far as it will go onto injector (2).
Do not use any lubricating agents.







NOTE: Pull mounting tip (1) of special tool 13 0 282 towards rear to release mounting taper (2) 13 0 281.







Installing injector:







Before installing injector in engines that have been run:

IMPORTANT: Injectors must not be twisted to 6 Nm.

The injector must be replaced if this value is exceeded.

- Check injector bore for dirt.
Clean only dirty injector bores.

IMPORTANT - do not damage injector.

- Clean injector bore: To do so, preferably slide injector without decoupling element (1) but with new PTFE sealing ring (2) in and out of injector bores several times.
The PTFE sealing ring must then be replaced.
- Clean contact surfaces of decoupling elements (1) in cylinder head.
- Replace decoupling element (1).







IMPORTANT: Injection quantity compensation.

An injector quantity compensation must be carried out if an injector is replaced or changed on the cylinder side.
Injector quantity compensation is carried out with the aid of a so-called adjustment value.
The adjustment value is printed in three digits on the injector body.
The adjustment value must be read off before installation.







Enter the adjustment value according to the installation location (cylinder) of the injector.
If injector quantity compensation is not carried out, the engine may run roughly or fail to start.
Injection quantity compensation is described at the end of these instructions.







Insert injectors in injector bores.
Fit special tool (1) 0 496 885 on injector slot. Join screws (2) to injector slot by a few threads. Screw in the pull-out thread (4) until the threaded sleeves (3) can be screwed onto the injectors. Screw threaded sleeves (3) onto injectors and tighten down.
Tighten down screws (2).
Tightening torque 13 53 13AZ.







IMPORTANT: Set torque wrench (1) to 2 Nm counterclockwise rotation.

Fit torque wrench (1) and special tool (2) 00 9 170 on hexagon head (3) of special tool 0 496 885.
Turn torque wrench (1) in counterclockwise direction until 2 Nm are reached.







Installation note:
Install hold-down device (1) with curvatures (black arrows) downward.







Fit hold-down device (3) on injectors.
Tighten screws (1) and (2) only hand-tight.







Install pressure lines on injectors and rail.
Tighten nuts (1) and (2) manually only.

Installation note:
Reinstall line damper (3).







Firstly tighten screw (1).
Tightening torque 13 53 6AZ.
Then tighten down screw (2).
Tightening torque 13 53 6AZ.







Tighten down pressure lines on injectors (1).
Tightening torque 13 53 9AZ.
Then tighten down pressure lines (2) on the rail.
Tightening torque 13 53 9AZ.

Installation note:
Reinstall line damper (3).







Perform an injection quantity compensation:
The adjustment value is printed with three digits - depending on the version - on the injector body.
- Connect BMW diagnosis system.
- Identify vehicle.
- Select "Function selection".
- Select "Service functions".
- Select "Engine electronics".
- Select "Adjustment functions".
- Select "Adjust injectors".
- Select "Test schedule"
- For each replaced injector, the adjustment value must be entered according to the installation location (cylinder).







Clean spark plug slot.
Assemble engine.
Check fuel system for tightness.
Check function of DME.
