BMW X5: Replacing Crankshaft Pulse Generator (N52, N52K, N51, N53)

IMPORTANT: Read and comply with notes on protection against electrostatic damage (ESD protection).

IMPORTANT: Aluminum-magnesium materials.

No steel screws/bolts may be used due to the threat of electrochemical corrosion.

A magnesium crankcase requires aluminum screws/bolts exclusively.

Aluminum screws/bolts must be replaced each time they arereleased.

The end faces of aluminum screws/bolts are painted blue for the purposes of reliable identification.

Jointing torque and angle of rotation must be observed without fail (risk of damage).

Necessary preliminary tasks:

NOTE: Installation location of pulse generator for crankshaft is underneath starter motor.

Preparatory tasks:

Detach plug (1) from crankshaft pulse generator (2).

Release screw.
