Potential Source of Tools: (Wiha Quality Tools, http://www.wihatools.com)
1. Wiha torque-vario-s 7 piece kit number 28598. This includes a 10-IP driver bit and tool for setting the torque to 20 in-lbs. Replacement torque driver number is 285-06.
2. Wiha 6-IP and 10-IP driver bit number 28572 and 28576. This works with the torque-vario-s driver.
Kit contains:
(8) 221-9939 Screw M3x0.5
(2) 221-9895 Actuator Gp
(Images are for illustration purposes. The work is intended to be done on engine without removing the entire actuator housing.)
1. Remove valve cover from engine.
2. Remove old valves from the Actuator, image 1.1.1 and 1.1.2. Do not un-bolt VVA housings from cylinder head. Unplug solenoid valve from wire harness, image 1.6.1. Remove 4 screws (M3) using 10 IP Torx plus insert tool. Remove valve from assembly. Send old valve back using claims return. Discard old M3 screws.

4. Install new M3 screws into valve from kit, image 1.3.1. There are four screws per valve. Check to make certain screws drop down freely and have no binding. If binding is noticed, then loosen the two M2 carrier screws ? turn using the 6 IP torx plus tool and do not retighten.

5. Install each new valve, image 1.4.1. and 1.4.2 Orient the connector and screw holes. The valve must be oriented as shown in figures by rotating the valve assembly such that the black wire harness connector appears as the figures and the screw holes line up with tapped holes in the housing. Snug the M3 screws down in a cross pattern 1-2-3-4, image 1.4.3. Use 10 IP Torx plus tool. Note: All the M3 screws need to be snugged down prior to torquing.

6. Final torque of each valve. Torque the four M3 screws to 2.3 +/- 0.2 N-m (20.4+/-1.8 inch-pound) in a cross pattern 1-2-3-4, image 1.4.3. Note: Failure to insure that screws do not bind and/or improper torquing process can cause actuator not responding faults.
7. Remove two M2 carrier screws per valve, image 1.5.1. Use the 6 IP Torx plus or T-6 Torx tool. Note: Failure to remove these screws may cause them to become loose during engine operation and result in damage. The M2 carrier screws need to be screwed in to the old valves being sent back through the claims process.

8. Plug wire harness into both valve connectors, image 1.6.1. Note: The bail clips that hold the wire harness to the valve must be fully latched.

9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 for remaining cylinders.
10. Re-assemble engine.
11. Run Intake Valve Actuator Response Test SMCS - 5479-038-IL to confirm VVA operation. Perform the Road Test, see below.
