Dismantling the Torque Splitter Motor

Model: Mercedes Classe M W163 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Engine

If you experience jolts during the restart phase, it may indicate a malfunction of the motor that controls the torque splitter; dismantling it is very straightforward as it is easily accessible and essentially involves unscrewing the respective fixing pins to the torque splitter housing and then those of the rear support bracket of the motor itself; finally, disconnect the power connector to complete the dismantling; note that it is possible to have this motor overhauled or to purchase a refurbished one to return the used part in order to keep repair costs down.
