Clockspring
The clockspring is designed to carry signals
between the RCM and the driver air bag module.
The clockspring is installed on the steering column,
and consists of fixed and moving parts connected
by a coiled Mylar tape with internal conducting
tracks. The Mylar tape is able to 'wind up' and
'unwind' as the steering wheel is rotated,
maintaining electrical contact at all times between
the RCM and the driver air bag module. During removal and installation or renewal of the
clockspring, pay attention to the following:
• Before installation of the clockspring, it must be
aligned according to the installation instructions.
• Make sure that the vehicle electrical system is fully depowered and no other power source is
connected.
• Secure the clockspring rotor with adhesive tape to the clockspring outer.
• The clockspring rotor must not be turned during removal or installation of the steering wheel or
the steering column switch unit.

CAUTION: Before removal, mark the
camshafts as the intake and exhaust
camshafts can be mixed up.
A reference mark for the CMP sensor is machined
into each camshaft. When the camshafts are set
precisely to the timing marks, the machined mark
on the exhaust camshaft is located roughly at the
5 o'clock position and the machined mark on the
intake camshaft is located at 8 o'clock.
When changing the toothed belts it is not necessary
to dismantle the camshaft adjustment units. A
special tool prevents the VCT control units from
turning during the adjustment process by locking
the two VCT control units to one another.
A further special tool is needed to fix the camshafts
in the adjustment position. The special tool
engages in corresponding recesses for the
reference marks on the CMP sensors. Each camshaft is fixed in place using four bearing
caps and the bearing cap VVT. The bearing caps
must not be changed around and must always be
fitted in their original positions.
The VCT control units for the intake and exhaust
camshafts are moved into the locked base position
when the engine is stopped through the
engagement of a spring-loaded locking pin. The
movement to the locked base position is assisted
by the tensile force of the timing belt for the intake
VCT control unit. With the exhaust VCT control
unit, a spring inside the control unit additionally
assists in reaching the locked base position. The
intake VCT control unit is in the "retarded timing"
position and the exhaust VCT control unit is in the
"advanced timing" position when in the locked base
position. The lock is hydraulically released when
the engine is started depending on the oil pressure.
The mechanical valve tappets are maintenance
free.

Engine – System Operation and Component Description
System Operation
The variable camshaft timing occurs
electro-hydraulically and individually for both
camshafts.
The camshaft adjusters work according to the vane
cell principle and have an adjustment range of 52°
crank angle on the intake side and 47° crank angle
on the exhaust side. On starting the engine and
during idling, both camshafts are mechanically
locked in their starting positions. The exhaust
camshaft is in the early position and the intake
camshaft is in the late position. The camshaftadjuster on the exhaust side has a torsion spring
which compensates the camshaft drive torque.
This ensures that the assembly can return to the
starting position under all operating conditions and
when the engine is turned off.
Internal exhaust gas recirculation can be realized
through continuous adjustment of the timings. This
results in better fuel consumption and more
favorable combustion temperatures which produce
less pollutants. This means that pollutant level IV
can be adhered to with a 3-way catalytic converter.
The variable timings also make it possible to
optimize performance with wide open throttle.
