4 Retract the throttle body wiring connector lock (3).
5 While pressing the connector latch in the direction of
the arrow (4), disconnect the throttle body wiring
connector.
6 Disconnect the throttle body connector wiring harness from its retaining clip (5).
7 Remove the main wiring harness retainer pin (6) from the intake manifold by pushing from the front to the
rear using a suitable piece of 5 mm steel rod (or an
Allen key).
The following precautions must be followed
when disconnecting the throttle body wiring
connector:
• Do not use any mechanical device such
as a screwdriver to disengage the
harness connector (1) from the throttle
body (2).
• When retracting the throttle wiring
connector lock (3), take care not to
disengage the lock from the connector.
• Do not pull on the connector wires.
• Take care not to break the barbed
harness retainer pin (6) while removing
the harness retainer from the intake
manifold.
• Should the pin be broken, then it is vital
that a new harness retainer is fitted to the
wiring harness shield. If not, the harness
will foul the engine drive belt.

Remove
Right-hand Secondary Timing Chain
CAUTION
After removing the upper intake manifold, and
spark plugs, plug any openings to prevent dirt
and other contaminants from entering.
1 Remove the engine front cover assembly, refer to 3.15 Front Cover Assembly.
2 Remove the spark plugs to aid crankshaft/engine rotation, refer to Section 6C1-3 Engine Management – V6 –
Service Operations .
3 Install Tool No. EN46111 (1) onto the crankshaft (2).
Figure 6A1 – 103
4 Using Tool No. EN46111 (1), rotate the crankshaft in a clockwise direction until the crankshaft sprocket
timing mark (2) is aligned with the indexing mark (3)
on the oil pump housing.
NOTE
Graphic shows 'Early Type' crankshaft sprocket,
'Late Type' similar.

Primary Timing Chain
1 Remove the right-hand secondary timing chain, refer to Right-hand Secondary Timing Chain in this Section.
2 Remove the two primary timing chain tensioner bolts (1), and remove the tensioner (2).
NOTE
Take care when removing the tensioner bolts.
The tensioner plunger is subjected to spring
tension and may spring apart during tensioner
removal.
Figure 6A1 – 114
3 Remove the gasket (1) from the tensioner (2) and discard the gasket.
4 Inspect the primary timi ng chain tensioner mounting
surface on the engine block for burrs or any defects
that would affect the s ealing of a new tensioner
gasket.

Inspect
Timing Chains
1 Inspect the primary and/or secondary timing chains
for the following:
• binding or worn rollers (1),
• loose links (2), and
• loose pins (3).
2 Replace a damaged timing chain as required.

Camshaft Intermediate Sprockets
Figure 6A1 – 131
1 Inspect the camshaft intermediate sprockets for the following:
• Damage to the primary and secondary timing chai n sprocket (1), refer to Figure 6A1 – 129.
• Damage to the hub bearing (2). Ensure the hub bearing sp ins freely. If the hub bearing wobbles, is noisy or
feels rough when rotated replace t he camshaft intermediate sprocket, and
