The throttle drive is very sensitive to kinks. Therefore, it must be handled with great care during installation. A kink can subsequently lead to a break in the cable. Therefore, cables that have kinks should not be installed.
Vehicles with automatic speed control "Tempostat" the throttle lever has an additional throttle actuator. If necessary, it is disconnected in the same way as a conventional gas drive.
The 320d diesel engine does not have a gas drive. The position of the gas pedal is transmitted to the control system via the pedal sensor.
Withdrawal
1. Models 316i, 318i: Loosen the fastening screws -1- at the throttle valve element and remove the cover -2-.
2. Give throttle on the throttle lever (arrow illustration), to unload the gas thrust.
3. Squeeze the plastic clip on the slats -1-, remove it from the throttle lever hole and remove from the rod -2-.
4. Remove the rod through the groove on the lever.
5. Take out a cover with an adjusting screw -1- back from the rubber plug -2- on a support. Pull the rubber bushing out of the support to the side.
Installation
6. Insert the rubber bushing into the support.
7. Slip the plastic clip over the tie rod.
8. Give some throttle to the throttle lever. Insert the cable through the groove and fix the plastic clip.
9. Check gas drive adjustment, adjust if necessary.
10. Models 316i, 318i: Attach the cover to the throttle assembly.
Adjustment
11. The throttle lever should rest against the idle stop and the throttle should be slightly tight. If necessary, turn the adjusting screw -1- on the support so that the rod is tightened.
12. Then screw in the adjusting screw -1- 1/4 turn. Now the traction has a small play. By pulling on the rod shell, you can determine the backlash. The play should not exceed 3 mm, after which the throttle lever should begin to move.
13. Ask an assistant to fully depress the gas pedal. In this case, the throttle lever should be in the maximum throttle position. Otherwise, slightly tighten the gas draft.
The workshop checks the full throttle position by attaching a scan tool that checks the throttle opening angle through the throttle potentiometer reading.
14. Vehicles with AT: Drive the car and check the operation of the kick-down device. If the AT does not switch to a low gear when full throttle is turned on, it is necessary to contact a service station to adjust the gas drive.
