Retrofit Adapter Wiring Harness on Camshaft Adjustment Solenoids

Revision/Date/Purpose

This Service Campaign has been initiated because Daimler AG (DAG), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that due to the

settling properties of the seal, oil may leak from the camshaft adjustment solenoid. Dealers will retrofit four adapter harnesses onto the engine wiring harness as a precautionary measure at the next workshop visit

Prior to performing this Service Campaign:

^ Please check VMI to determine if the vehicle is involved in the Campaign and if it has been previously repaired.

^ Please review the entire Service Campaign bulletin and follow the repair procedure exactly as described.

Please note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.

Approximate number of vehicles affected shown above

Procedure

1.     Remove top engine cover to get access to camshaft adjustment solenoids as required.

2.     Disconnect camshaft adjustment solenoids from engine harness connectors (A, Figures 1 and 2) shown above.

^    Carefully unlock engine harness connectors (A) by squeezing and partially pulling out locking tabs (arrows) using pocket screw driver.

^    Disconnect camshaft adjustment solenoid connectors (A) from camshaft solenoids (B).

3.     Connect adapter harnesses (A, Figures 3 and 4) shown above.

^    Connect adapter harnesses (A) between connector on camshaft adjustment solenoid and engine harness.

^    Push locking tabs (arrows, Figures 1 and 2) into connectors to secure (total of 8 locking tabs).

4.     Secure adapter harnesses with cable ties.

Note:

Ensure harness adapters are properly secured using cable ties (arrows, Figures 3 and 4) to prevent wire chafing and/or damage from hot engine parts, (e.g. oil cooler [B]).
