• Remove tensioner(s) to ease timing chain
removal/installation.
o Engine positioned correctly with NO.1 cylinder
at TDC of compression stroke D when slot
on intermediate shaft sprocket is visible 1iJ.
o If slot is not visible, turn crankshaft one turn
clockwise.
• Camshaft tensioner MUST be bled before
installation [i):
o Push 0.031 in. diameter wire through oil
drilling up to ball valve 6.
o Press plunger into housing onto stop Ill.
o If plunger moves out again, repeat bleeding
procedure.
• Lubricate camshaft sprocket bolt mating face
during assembly.
NOTE: Mating surface between camshaft
position (CMP) sensor reluctor and sprocket
MUST be kept dry during assembly.
• Camshaft rotation can be prevented using
24 mm spanner at positions shown m.
NOTE: 00 NOT use camshaft locking tool B
to prevent camshaft rotation. .
• If removed, apply locking fluid to upper timing
chain guide bolt [ll].
• Install tensioner(s) after timing chain installation.
• After installation, reset lower timing chain
tensioner:
o Release locking mechanism m using a
screwdriver.
o Push chain tensioner IE against tensioner
guide iE.
o Torque tensioner bolts 1m to 7 ft. Ibs.
• Torque upper timing chain tensioner [Ej:
o (A) Golf/GTI/Jetta/Passat - 22 ft. Ibs.
o (8) Corrado - 15 ft. Ibs.
• After installation of timing chains:
o Turn crankshaft 2 turns clockwise until ground
tooth on crankshaft sprocket aligned with rear
main bearing joint f).
o Ensure camshaft locking tool NO.3268 can be
installed B.
• Crankshaft pulley bolt MUST only be used once.

Special tools
• Crankshaft pulley holding tool -
Volkswagen NO.3102/3149.

General precautions
• Disconnect battery ground cable.
• Do NOT turn crankshaft or camshaft with
timing gear(s) removed.
• Remove spark plugs to ease turning engine.
• Turn crankshaft in normal direction of rotation
(unless otherwise stated).
• If fitted: Mark position of crankshaft position
(CKP) sensor before removal.
• Do NOT turn crankshaft via camshaft or other
gears.
• Observe all tightening torques.

• Removal/installation of timing gears requires:

o Engine removal.
• Align crankshaft gear timing mark (2 dots) with
camshaft gear timing mark (1 dot) D.
• Replace camshaft bearings if end play wear limit
of 0.006 in. is reached.
• Camshaft gear is an integral part of camshaft.
• Timing gear backlash MUST be between
0-0.002 in.
• To correct backlash, camshafts are available
with various size timing gears.
• Camshaft MUST NOT lift out of bearings when
crankshaft is turned counterclockwise. To
correct, install camshaft with a smaller diameter
timing gear.
