closed. The intake air must flow through the whole intake pipe. Its length is selected in such a way that the
pressure waves, produced by the inducting pistons, arrive at the right moment at the open intake valves for the
next induction stroke. The result is improved cylinder charge and thus an increase in torque.
At higher engine speeds (e.g. from 3900 rpm) the actuation to the variable intake manifold switchover valve is
interrupted - the variable flaps open as a result of the spring force. Through the shortened route the pressure
waves arrive in time even at higher rotational speeds before the closing of the intake valves to the combustion
chamber.

The intake manifold is assembled out of several magnesium pressure castings. When fitted together, they
produce the individual intake manifolds and the air collecting volume. The parts are sealed off to each other by
plastic. The intake manifold cannot be disassembled.
The individual intake manifolds each approx. 800 mm long, are arranged in a spiral shape around the air
collecting volume. A single intake manifold is assigned to each cylinder.
Each single intake manifold has a further opening to the air collecting volume in the middle. These can be
opened or closed by means of variable flaps which pivot through approx. 60°.
The variable flaps are attached to steel shafts. One shaft is installed for each bank of c
ylinders. The

interconnected flap shafts are closed by means of vacuum by the intake manifold switchover diaphragm unit.
When the variable intake manifold switchover valve is open, the vacuum is supplied from a vacuum reservoir
with check valve in the intake manifold. The reservoir volume is designed for about 5 operations without
renewed evacuation.
The variable flaps open by means of spring force.

Remove/Install
1 - Remove transmission with torque converter. See REMOVE/INSTALL TRANSMISSION WITH
TORQUE CONVERTER.
2 - Put transmission down on workbench. See Fig. 1
.
3 - Take transmission housing (1) off torque converter housing (2). See Fig. 1
.
4 - Pull torque converter housing (2) off transmission housing (1).
5 - Unscrew internal Torx drive bolts (4a) of oil pump (4).
6 - Screw two opposed bolts (a) into the oil pump housing (4) and press the oil pump (4) out of the
converter housing (2) by applying light blows with a plastic hammer.
Inspect
7 - Check oil pump (4).
8 - Check teflon rings (5a) of multi-disk brake B1 (5), replace if necessary.
9 - Install in the reverse order. NOTE: Internal Torx drive bolts (2a) 15 bolts and internal Torx drive bolts (1a) 2
bolts.
NOTE: The intermediate panel (6) on the torque converter housing (2) can usually
be used several times. The panel must not be coated with sealant.
NOTE: Bolt, transmission housing to converter housing. See Fig. 2
.
NOTE: Ensure that the multi-disk clutch K1 (3) does not fall out.
NOTE: Bolt, oil pump with multi-disk brake B1 to converter housing. See Fig. 2
.
NOTE: According to condition: Dismantle and assemble oil pump. See
DISMANTLING & ASSEMBLING OIL PUMP
.
NOTE: Insert both teflon rings (5a) into groove with grease so that the joint stays

Dismantling & Assembling Oil Pump
1 - Remove pump gears (22 a nd 23) from pump housing. See Fig. 3.
2 - Check radial seal ring ( 24), replace if necessary.
3 - Replace O-ring (25).
4 - Lubricate pump gears and place in the pump housing. Insert pump gear (22) so that the charger
(arrow) points towards the pump housing.
CAUTION: Use ATF oil.
