3. Using 3387 pin wrench, turn eccentric pulley -1- in clockwise direction until the handle of the pin wrench is exactly above the center axle of coolant pump gear -2-.
4. Hold pin wrench in this position and tighten bolt -3- to 45 Nm.
5. Place torque wrench horizontally on socket-head of tensioning lever.
6. Turn with 45 Nm in direction of arrow to pre-tension toothed belt.
7. Using 8 mm socket head wrench, turn toothed belt tensioning roller in direction of arrow until T40011 pin can pulled out.
8. Place torque wrench horizontally on socket-head of tensioning lever.
9. Turn with 25 Nm in direction of arrow to tension toothed belt.
10. Insert T40028 socket at camshaft adjuster of exhaust camshaft on left cylinder bank.
11. Turn rotor of camshaft adjuster clockwise to 10 Nm up to stop (arrow).
12. Turn rotor of camshaft adjuster at right cylinder bank clockwise to 10 Nm up to stop (arrow).
13. Tighten bolts for all four camshaft gears to 100 Nm.
14. Insert caps -2- with new O-rings -1- at camshaft gears and secure them with the securing ring.
