How to remove and install a valve cover for V6 engines on Volkswagen Passat?

Removal of the valve cover begins by removing engine cover and any side covers which may be there then unscrew the spark plug wires attached to spark plugs. When needed, loosen the clip on crankcase breather hose that is connected on the valve cover and place it aside. Disconnect any electrical wiring, ground straps or hoses which connects to the valve cover including the power steering hose retaining tab on the right valve cover of a DOHC engine. Then, loosen the retaining nuts and put off the valve cover on the cylinder head. A stuck cover can get free by tapping the end with a block of wood and a hammer, or with a flexible putty knife, which can be used to cut the seal without destroying the sealing surfaces. To install it, the mating areas of the housing or the cylinder head and cover must be clean and one should use a gasket scraper to remove sealant and the old gasket material then wash it with lacquer thinner or acetone to avoid oil spills. On the DOHC engines, examine the end plug rubber and change where necessary. In case of SOHC engines, use RTV sealant on the corners of the camshaft bearing caps and in case of DOHC engines, apply sealant on the corners of the camshaft front bearing cap and on the camshaft drive chain tensioner. Replace the old valve cover gasket with a new one and place it over the studs on the cylinder head, and, in the case of DOHC engines, the spark plug tube grommet gasket with the index marks faced by the timing belt end. Lastly, fit the valve cover and fit the retaining nuts in a number of steps, and then refit the other parts, start the engine and test whether there is any leakage of oil or not.

What precautions should be taken when disconnecting the battery and removing the valve cover on Volkswagen Rabbit?

When one disconnects the battery, a few of the systems will have to be re-learned before they can do anything. Removal should start by disconnecting the cable on the negative battery terminal. Removal of the engine cover is done at the top of the engine compartment. The second step is to remove the separate ignition coil assemblies of the spark plugs. Take out the secondary air injection pipe and take away the crankcase housing ventilation hose attached to the corner of the cover. Peel off the valve cover with retaining fasteners in reverse of the sequence in which they were tightened, recording the captive spacer sleeve and rubber seal, after which the valve cover is removed. Wipe away the gasket cover that needs to be changed in case it is leaky or torn. To install, clean and rub off faces of the cover and cylinder head gasket; install a new gasket on top of the valve cover making sure that the rubber seals and spacer sleeves are installed correctly. Attach the cover of the cylinder head, make sure that the gasket is in place when tightening the cover. Install the cover bolts by vapor only in that order. After tightening all the bolts by hand, repeat the procedure again and tighten the bolt to required torque. The rest of the installation is in the opposite sequence as the removal. Lastly, start the engine and check on oil leakage.
