Idler gear
For balance shaft assembly
If the bolt for the idler gear has been slackened or the spur gear on the crankshaft or the crankshaft itself have been renewed, you must install a new idler gear with the appropriate coating. Procedure for installation
Chapter
“
Installing a new balance shaft assembly
”
To achieve the correct backlash a suitably thick coating is already applied to the new idler gear; the required clearance is achieved as the coating is worn down
Installation position: Part No. must be visible.
Make sure thrust washer is properly seated

Sump - tightening torque and sequence
Tighten bolts in 3 stages as follows:
Stage

1.
1 … 20
5 Nm in diagonal sequence
2.
arrows
40 Nm
3.
1 … 20
Tighten in stages and in diagonal sequence; final torque 13 Nm
Installation position of thrust washer
Caution
Thrust washer can slip out of position behind idler gear.
Make sure that thrust washer
A
does not slip out of the recesses in the balance shaft assembly
arrows
when fitting the idler gear. If this is neglected, the thrust washer can become trapped. If necessary, apply grease to hold washer on balance shaft assembly.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
