8. Terminate the diagnostic session so that FASTA data will be transmitted.
9. Program the vehicle using ISTA/P 3.55.1 or a more recent version, and retrofit the new engine oil
service interval. The engine oil service interval of the vehicle must be retrofitted to a shorter service
interval of 12 months or 10,000 miles. ISTA/P will automatically reprogram and code all
programmable control modules that do not have the latest software. Perform the programming, coding
and engine oil service retrofit during the same ISTA/P session.
10. For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to Centernet / Aftersales Portal /
Service / Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.

Important Note:
The current ISTA repair manual RA11
31 052 "Replacing both timing chains \
PREMIUM" instructs to release
tension on four bearing bolts (indicated
as #1 for cylinders 5 to 8; and #2 for
cylinders 1 to 4) on the engine block.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO DO
THIS.
DO NOT release these bolts, because
the bearing bolts are micro-
encapsulated and they would have to
be replaced if loosened up.
The repair instructions will be updated
soon.
