What precautions should be taken during the removal and installation of the Timing Chain, Timing Chain Tensioner and Timing Cover for 4-cylinder engines on Volkswagen Golf SportWagen?

Question

Accepted Answer

It is important not to turn the crankshaft, or the camshafts independently whilst following this procedure whilst the timing chain is loosened and thus cause damage to the valves. Without battery being connected, there are a number of systems that will have to be learnt again before it will operate appropriately. To take off the upper timing chain cover, pull off the engine cover off the ballstuds, disassemble the noise generator parts, should they be installed, and unclip the oil dipstick tube. Move Push coolant hose out of the way, disconnect electrical connectors of the camshaft adjustment valves, and remove the cover with star pattern retaining fasteners. Get rid of the gasket and inspect sealing faces. To install, clean surfaces, attach a new gasket, and screw up the bolts of the cover in that order. The procedure of the lower cover removal includes: disconnection of the battery, raising the vehicle, and the removal of the different parts such as the splash shield and inner fender liner. Empty the engine oil, take off the air charge pipe, and loosen hose clamps. Turn the engine to TDC and remove the crankshaft pulley and the engine and support it before taking off the front engine mount. Take out the oil dipstick tube and unconnection of the oil pressure regulator valve. In case of the timing chain and tensioners, unscrew the upper cover, rotate engine to TDC and unscrew the lower cover. The control valves and bearing brackets are to be pulled out using special tools followed by the removal of the oil pump chain tensioner and camshaft timing chain. When installing, be sure that the crankshaft is at TDC, push the timing chain over the crankshaft sprocker and align the colored links with the marks. Attach the tensioners and guides and adjust all timing marks. To remover the balance shaft timing chain, you should remove the required parts, place the marks of the timing, loop the chain and place the tensioners and guides and make sure that all marks are in place before you finish up with the process.
