  Q: Is the oil pump serviceable, and How to replace it on Volkswagen Golf?

  A:

  All models cannot be serviced by replacing the oil pump, it has to be replaced as a unit in case there is a suspicion of a problem. With 1.4L engines, you will start by positioning the engine to No 1 cylinder at TDC and then take off the lower oil pan. Lift the edges of the coverinoil pump drive chain one by one until it is possible to pull it off. When reusing the oil pump drive chain doing so, use match marks and show the direction of travel. To remove the pump assembly, remove the mounting bolts of the oil pump, reposition the rear of the pump down, and pull the drive sprocket off of the chain. Removal of alignment sleeves in the upper oil pan has they not remained attached on the oil pump, the intake pipe fastener, and the oil pump seal/strainer. To install, line up the marks on the oil pump drive chain and crankshaft sprocket then insert the chain onto the sprocket. Fit a new oil pump seal/strainer, alignment sleeves and the oil pump assembly and tighten up the mounting bolts to the required torque. Install the lower oil pan, and add the oil then start the engine and inspect the oil pressure and any leakage. With 2.0L (CBPA) engines, these steps should be followed with, of course, the splash wall taken off, and match marks placed when reusing the oil pump drive chain. Once the assembly of the pump has been removed, fit the alignment sleeves and screw in the mounting bolts of the oil pump assembly. Lastly, with timing chain engines, two individuals are needed to take out the oil pump. Disassemble the oil baffle and, with a little help, draw back on the oil pump chain tensioner and fix it in position, and then take off the oil pump. Install a new O-ring on an oil pick-up tube, reinstall the tube and attach the retaining fastener. Once the oil pump is mounted on the chain, secure the retaining fasteners and a new oil baffle and reinstall the lower oil pan, pour oil in, turn on the engine, and inspect the leaks and gauge the oil pressure.

  Q: How to replace the Oil Pump, Timing Chain and Timing Chain Tensioner on Volkswagen Golf?

  A:

  The oil pump cannot be serviced and have to be replaced in case of an issue. Start with taking away the engine and disconnecting the transmission with the engine. Then remove the upper Oil Pan and oil pick-up tube and then Crankshaft front oil seal flange. Slacken camshaft sprockets and take off the control housing. Compression of the oil pump timing chain tensioner piston with a screwdriver and fixing it with a pin or some other tool. Loosen mounting fastener of tensioner and move tensioner assembly, chain guide, and tensioner guide down the dowels on cylinder block without scraping off the pin used to fit tensioner piston. When in possession of the oil pump drive sprocket, loosen the sprocket retaining bolt after which the sprocket and chain are removed. Then remove oil pump with fasteners, oil pump and O-ring and then place a new O-ring in its place. To install, clamp a crankshaft in TDC position, screw a new O-ring into the pump and screw the retaining fasteners. Install the sprocket retaining bolt, tighten it and place the oil pump sprocket on the pump facing outwards. Slide the oil pump bolts and then align the oil pump sprocket to the crankshaft sprocket by means of a special alignment tool, with special shims in place. Install the tool to the crankshaft and screw the tool mounting nuts. Move the oil pump sprocket to the tool, so that it in contact with the magnets, which should be clean. Take out the crankshaft locking pin and push the crankshaft into the front holding it with a shim or screwdriver. Gently press the oil pump body to the direction of the oil pump chain and see to the retaining bolts that they are fastened to the torque as required. Once again lock the crankshaft in the TDC position and take out the alignment tool. When installing a new pump, fill the new pump by use of the pick-up tube hole, when rotating the oil pump sprocket. Install the oil pump chain on the sprockets and make sure that it operates between three sprockets straight. Install the upper oil pan, chain guide, tensioner guide and tensioner assembly on the dowels mounted on the cylinder block and tighten the tensioner fastener. Lastly, unplug the pin of the tensioner and unplug the piston to connect the chain guide and reverse the order of the installation.
