Part 2 BMW VALVETRONIC MOTOR REPLACEMENT -AVOID DISASTER

[BurgerOosthuizen]

Hi, no it's really easy on this one, as I said, the main thing is to release the tension on the eccentric shaft, so just use a 4mm hex, wind it clockwise until you feel it stop, release the securing screws and remove the motor, you might need to turn the 4mm hex drive a turn anti clockwise to disengage the worm drive. When installing the new one just engage the worm drive rotate the 4mm hex to pull it flush, secure the crews, attach the wiring and start the engine. It's not necessary to wind the motor more than required to bring it flush. You might have to teach it in, but often it finds it's feet on its own.
Hope this helps.

Going to be doing this on my wife’s car. Would you say this is a very hard job?
