Camshaft adjustment function - GF07.61-P-4021GS

ENGINE 111.951 /952 /955 /956 /957 /958 /982 /983 with CODE (925) low emission EURO3

The camshaft adjustment improves idle speed, boosts torque and power output in the mid/upper engine speed/load range.

The camshaft solenoid which is operated by the engine control module, is attached to the camshaft adjuster. The inlet camshaft is altered by rotating the camshaft adjuster to "advanced" (large valve overlap) or to "retarded" (slight valve overlap - basic position).

Example: The adjustment range of the camshaft adjuster is approx. 20° crank angle. The figures relate to drive position engaged and moderate engine load:

ENGINE 111 NATURALLY ASPIRATED

Engine speed Position of camshaft Camshaft solenoid Effect on combustion
< 2000 rpm "retarded" de-energized Reducing residual gas quantities as a result of smaller valve overlap
> 2000 rpm and < 4000 rpm "advanced" actuated Reducing fresh gas losses
< 4000 rpm "retarded" de-energized Improving cylinder charge by means of boost effect
ENGINE 111 COMPRESSOR

Engine speed Position of camshaft Camshaft solenoid Effect on combustion
< 1500 rpm "retarded" de-energized Reducing residual gas quantities as a result of smaller valve overlap
< 1500 rpm "advanced" actuated Reducing fresh gas losses
