Mercedes-Benz is well known for its large commercial vehicles and its Sprinter Model is one of the most popular on the

Choosing to install a solid flywheel instead of a genuine replacement

However, those pounds could be speedily outweighed by the many
and varied consequences of adding up to 4kgs of extra weight to the
drive train (compared to the originally fitted components).

SMARTCHOICE ISSUE 43 TECH TALK: GATES TVD 19

DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF BOLTS FOR TVD FIXATION?

When a TVD needs replacement there are various types of bolts of which some need to be replaced because of technical
requirements and others can be re-used.

Always refer to the guidelines prescribed by the supplier. Bolts that encounter elastic, temporary deformation during
fixation can be re-used since they regain their original form after stress is relieved. Bolts that encounter plastic, permanent
deformation during the installation of the TVD, cannot be used to install a new harmonic balancer since they might break.

NOT ALL BOLTS/TVDs ARE THE SAME

There are four possible situations you may encounter when working on TVDs:

1. CENTRAL CRANKSHAFT 2. MULTIPLE CRANKSHAFT
BOLT BOLTS

Some engines such as PSA 1.6 Hdi use one central crankshaft bolt. This bolt For example, in BMW E90 330d engines you will find that the TVD is fixed with

which is located between the timing belt sprocket and the TVD crankshaft
pulley. This washer increases friction between the hub of the TVD and the
crankshaft sprocket, to prevent the TVD from coming loose. It is absolutely
essential to replace the crankshaft washer. Following applications include a
diamond washer: Volvo 850, S70, S80, V70 I, V70 II, VW Transporter/Caravelle
and Audi A6. Always make sure you buy a TVD box that also includes this
crankshaft washer.

Each suspension block is controlled by a solenoid valve, which opens and
closes the link with the circuit. The suspension solenoid valves are electri- •
cally energised in pairs, front axle and rear axle.

Two operation times are taken into consideration for the operation of the
circuit. One of these is the pressurisation time, when the air is compressed tTiohneipnrhoebilgehmtsdtuheattoafsaptirginuge.can have are mainly corrosion, breakage and a reduc-
to provide the flow to the solenoid valves that control the air springs, the

The other operation time is the depressurisation period. Both the suspen- 12 — www.eurecar.org

This latter valve allows the air to flow to the outside after crossing the ad-
ditional silencer and the air filter.
