Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Checking the timing on 2014 Mercedes E350 4Matic - M276.9 engine. Been working on a timing issue since replacing the left intake adjuster and camshaft after discovering the reluctor wheel moved. W212 4Matic E350
00:00 - disconnect battery
00:57 - remove engine cover, airbox & disconnect sensors/vac lines
06:20 - remove 4 E10 bolts and vac line, lift plenum
09:33 - cover lower intake
10:22 - remove camshaft hall sensors
12:40 - rotate crankshaft to 53 degrees
13:35 - check position of crank - 53 after TDC or 53 after TDC overlap (we're at overlap)
13:58 - rotate 360 degrees and check again at 53 after TDC
14:38 - check camshaft hall sensors at 53 degrees after TDC
15:40 - view pulse wheel location through camshaft hall sensor holes

    this will not be a defective camshaft adjuster, the problem on all those camshafts codes are related to a defective camshaft, the wheel sensor of one of intake camshafts spins a littlet bit and set the timing code

    I have the 2014 e350 build date 06/13 I get the low dull rattle on start. once I had the sharp rattle for half a second. Just bought the car, so oil and changes unknown. I put Liqui-Moly 10w-40 and ceratec will change in 3k. I don't like engine flush, I have used kerosine years ago, but with variable valve timing...leary. Anyway, I plan to change adjusters, and install check valves if needed. MB dealer said they needed to order coolant tester to test my coolants condition, I can see it is clear amber, looks like mostly water. Info I se says blue or violet. So I'll be doing my own work.

    im so confused because im looking at wis and its saying to check at 40 past tdc. when i did check it at 40tdc its of. i couldnt under stand what i was seeing. i found your video and when i rotated t 53 tdc the timing marks line up. im scared to use wis now lol. do you have a pic of how the timing marks should look like facing the chain tensioners?

    Sorry for the late reply. So 40 is where the timing is set and 53 is where you check it. If you check at 40 it will indeed be off. 53 is where you want to confirm the position of the cams in the eye holes on the cam covers. Hope that makes sense. WIS is correct though, the base timing is at 40. I don't have a picture at the moment but they should be in the orientation pointing angles up kind of like it shows in WIS.

    It appears that you may have been 180 out. Did you identify the reluctor plates before removing oil control valve. I'm also assuming you have too much tension in the chain as well even after it's removed

    Similar to me, I ended up setting the base timing when that happened. The process is to remove the cover, and then use the timing tool to hold the cams in place while you are able to move them in place to match the marks up.

    Man, we are working on this exact issue and it seems no matter what we do we cannot seem to get the timing lines up at 53. Right bank looks good but there is nothing we can do to get the left bank close. One tooth either direction for the intake or exhaust camshaft outs everything way off and when we get it close it does not seem close enough. Running condition illicits cam position faults on all four camshafts and yet the engine itself is running perfect. Smoother than it ever has before. What could we be doing wrong?

    mm imo better check the tone wheels on the camshafts. One of mine moved slightly and while it ran good, the timing was off when checking at 53. It's very possible you could be out by a single tooth also but you'd notice it.

    @@kathy268 hey - so 53 degrees is where it's to be checked at. When setting the timing, you want to set at 40 degrees, line the marks on the back of the cams exactly flush with the cylinder heads. I have another video here on marking the cams with the tool. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXll0bCTeZjTo9Y.html For the transmission, I believe it does but check your vin here: www.vindecoderz.com/EN/Mercedes-Benz - you'll see something like "automatic 722960" under "aggregates". Also let me look through my videos that I have not edited yet, may have some stuff I can upload. I have 2 of these engines so I'll be doing more content going forward on them and some other vehicles.

    You would set the timing to the base setting of 40 degrees. This needs to be done with the cam covers off and the timing tools in place. To check the timing, you check it at 53 degrees and look through the eye holes on the cam covers to ensure the cam tone wheels line up where they should.
