Air Routing
The intake air passes through the air intake duct to the air cleaner, through the throttle sec-
tion into the variable intake manifold and on to the two cylinder head intake ducts.
Increases in engine output and engine torque, as well as optimization of the engine torque
curve, are largely dependent on an optimum engine volumetric efficiency over the entire
engine speed range.
Long and short intake paths contribute to good volumetric efficiency in the lower and upper
speed ranges. Long air intake paths ensure optimum volumetric efficiency in the lower to
middle speed ranges. This optimizes the torque curve and increases the torque.
In order to optimize the power increase in the upper speed range, the engine requires short
air intake paths for better cylinder filling. The air intake system has been completely rede-
velopd in order to eliminate this inconsistency in terms of air intake path length.
The air intake system consists of the following components:

• A 1.8 liter capacity front silencer has been fitted for each cylinder bank.
• A single 5.8 liter center silencer is fitted downstream of the two front silencers.
• The resonator type rear silencers have capacities of 12.6 and 16.6 liters.
Exhaust Gas Flap
The 12.6 liter rear silencer is fitted with an exhaust gas flap to keep noise to a minimum at
engine idle speed and low rpm. The exhaust gas flap is opened allowing additional flow
when:
• The a transmission gear is engaged a an
nd
d
• The engine speed is above 1,500 rpm
A vacuum-controlled diaphragm (actuator mounted on the silencer) opens and closes the
exhaust gas flap. The exhaust gas flap is closed with vacuum, and is sprung open by the
actuator (when vacuum is not present). The procedure is carried out using a solenoid valve
which is electrically controlled by the ECM.
Secondary Air System
Blowing additional air (secondary air) into the cylinder head exhaust ducts during the warm-
up phase results in a thermal secondary combustion which results in a reduction of the
non-combusted hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the exhaust gas. The
energy generated during this process heats up the catalytic converter faster during the
warm-up phase, and increases it’s conversion rate.

The electrically-operated secondary air pump is mounted to the vehicle body. The pump
draws out filtered fresh air from the air cleaner housing during the warm-up phase and sup-
plies it to the two secondary air Non-return Valves.
Once the engine has been started, the secondary air pump is supplied with voltage by the
ECM via the secondary air pump relay. It remains switched on until the engine has taken in
a certain amount of air.

period may be a maximum of 90 seconds and it depends on the following engine
operating conditions:
• Coolant temperature (from -10 ºC to approximately 60 ºC)
• Air temperature (NTC sensor in HFM)
• Engine speed
One non-return valve is mounted on each cylinder head (see also Engine Views).
The non-return valves are opened by the pressure generated from the secondary air pump.
The secondary air is led through a pipe to the secondary air ducts (integral in the cylinder
heads) for distribution into the exhaust ports.
The non-return valves are sprung closed when the secondary air pump is deactivated. This
prevents exhaust vapors, pressure and condensation from flowing back into the secondary
air pump.

Drive Belts
The belt drive has two components and is subdivided into the main and A/C drives. Both
belts are driven by the crankshaft pulley.
A 4 rib belt is used to drive the air conditioning compressor and a 6 rib belt is used for the
main drive. Each drive belt has a maintenance free tensioning unit with tensioning pulley
and torsioner.

The alternator regulator voltage is influenced by the ECM - BSD interface. The bat-
tery charge voltage can therefore be up to 15.5 V, depending on the battery temperature.
If a battery charge voltage of up to 15.5 V is measured, the regulator is not faulty. A high
charge voltage indicates a low battery temperature.
Air Conditioning Compressor
The “clutch free” A/C compressor is manufac-
tured by Denso. It functions continuously with
the engine running. The compressor is a 7-
cylinder swash plate type. The displacement
can be reduced to less than 3% when air con-
ditioning is not requested (no refrigerant is sup-
plied to the refrigerant circuit).
There is an internal compressor refrigerant cir-
cuit to maintain lubrication. The IHKA electron-
ics regulate the compressor output via an
external control valve (1).
Starter Motor
The starter motor is located on the right-hand
side of the engine below the exhaust manifold,
and is a compact planetary drive starter with a
1.8 kW output.
1. Starter motor with heat protective cover.
Power Steering Pump
The power steering pump is a tandem radial piston pump on vehicles equipped with
Dynamic Drive. A single vane pump is installed on vehicles without the Dynamic Drive.
Further information about the power steering pump can be found in the Chassis Dynamics
section.

N62 Engine
The chart below shows the VANOS unit camshaft adjustment possibilities. The valve lift
adjustment has also been incorporated.
The special feature of Valvetronic is that the air mass drawn in the cylinders can be easily
determined by the valve lift and closing time. The air mass can then be limited, thus the
term “load control”.
With the help of VANOS, the valve closing point can be easily selected within a defined
range. With valve lift control, the opening duration and cross section of the valve opening
can also be easily selected within a defined range.
Vacuum pump
The N62 engine requires a vacuum pump for the vacuum
assisted brake booster. With the throttle valve open while the
car is being driven, additional vacuum is needed.
The N62 vacuum pump has a second vacuum connection
(small hose) for the exhaust flap adjustment. The vacuum
pump is driven by cylinders 1-4 exhaust camshaft via the
VANOS unit. The pump is lubricated through an oil gallery
from the cylinder head.

Coolant Circuit
The coolant flow has been optimized allowing the engine to warm up as quickly as possi-
ble after a cold start as well as even and sufficient engine cooling while the engine is run-
ning. The cylinder heads are supplied with coolant in a cross-flow pattern. This ensures
more even temperature distribution to all cylinders. The cooling system ventilation has been
improved and is enhanced by using ventilation ports in the cylinder heads and in the radi-
ator. The air in the cooling system accumulates in the expansion tank. When a pressure of
2 bar is reached in the expansion tank, the air is bled out by the pressure relief valve in the
reservoir cap.

The ventilation ports in the front of the cylinder heads provide quicker “self bleeding”
during a routine coolant exchange. The complex cooling system and the small ventilation
ports require that time should be allowed after the cooling system has been filled for the air
to escape.
Coolant flow in the Engine Block
The coolant flows from the water pump through the feed pipe (1) in the engine's V and to
the rear of the engine block. This area has a cast aluminum cover (see following illustration).
From the rear of the engine, the coolant flows to the external cylinder walls and from there
into the cylinder heads.
The coolant then flows from the cylinder heads into the engine block V and through the
return connection (3) to the thermostat housing. When the coolant is cold it flows from the
thermostat (closed) directly into the water pump and back to the engine (recirculating for
faster warm up).
When the engine reaches operating tempera-
ture (85 ºC-110 ºC), the thermostat opens the
entire cooling circuit to include the radiator.

Cooling Radiator
The radiator is made from aluminum and is divided into a high-temperature section and a
low-temperature section by a partition wall (see coolant circuit diagram). The coolant first
flows into the high-temperature section and then back to the engine, cooled.
Some of the coolant flows through an opening in the radiator partition wall to the low-tem-
perature section where it is cooled further. The coolant then flows from the low-tempera-
ture section (when the ÖWT thermostat is open) into the oil/coolant heat exchanger.
Coolant Expansion Tank
The expansion tank is mounted on the right hand wheel housing (engine compartment).

The expansion tank should never be filled above the Max marking. Excess coolant is
expelled by the pressure relief valve in the cap as it heats up. Avoid overfilling the expan-
sion tank because the cooling circuit design ensures very good “self bleeding”.
