How to remove and install a valve cover for 5-cylinder engines on Volkswagen Golf?

In order to take off the valve cover, disconnect the cable with the negative battery terminal. Then, up in the engine compartment, leave the engine cover. Then remove the Housing ignition coil assemblies off the spark plugs and take out the secondary air injection pipe and uncouple the crankcase housing ventilation pipe on the corner of the cover. Gradually loosen the valve cover with fasteners in the opposite order in which they were tightened and note the captive spacer sleeve and rubber seal and then remove the cover. Note: Wipe off the cover gasket which should be changed in case of leakage or damage. Installation To install, wipe the cover and cylinder head gasket faces cleanly, then place a new gasket on to the valve cover making sure that it is in the correct position as guided by the rubber seals and spacer sleeves. Join the cover to the cylinder head and ensure that positioning the gasket is done as the cover is clamped. First, close the cover bolts using only your hands and when all the bolts are hand-tight, go round and progressively tighten the bolts to the required torque. The rest of the installation procedure is the same as of the removal procedure but in other way, and lastly, start the engine to confirm that there is no leakage of oil.

How to remove and reinstall the valve cover for 4-cylinder engines on Volkswagen Golf?

This is a process that is applicable to the 2.0L timing belt (CBPA) alone. You can start by taking off the engine cover, which is then succeeded by the timing belt upper cover containing fasteners. The second step is to remove the ignition coils, PCV valve fasteners and then remove the PCV housing of the cover. Unscrew crankcase hose heat shield that holds fasteners on the turbocharger and remove the shield. Unplug the electrical connectors and harness attached to the cover of the valve. Unscrew the fasteners a couple of turns at a time, beginning at the center and circling in a circular fashion all the way to the ends, until all the bolts are loosened then take out the retaining fasteners and loosen the valve cover of the cylinder head. In the case when the cover is stuck, hammer and block of wood will help to loosen the cover, or a flexible putty knife can be used to open the seal without damaging the sealing surfaces so that it would not leak oil once the cover is replaced. Be sure that the mating surfaces of the cylinder head and cover are clean prior to installation by stripping all of sealant and old gasket material, such as the spark plug tube seal gaskets, and cleaning with brake system cleaner. Check the rubber end plug at the back of the cylinder head and replace it in case of any cracks and damages. In the case of a rubber gasket, it may be reused in the case it is undamaged. Fit the valve cover, and any brackets removed, and screw the fasteners in a circular order to the required torque. Lastly, remove the remaining parts, and restart the engine and verify that there is no leakage of oil.
