Removing  
Caution  
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compart‐  
ment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped condi‐  
tions:  
♦ Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, acti‐  
vated charcoal filter system, coolant, refrigerant, brake  
fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring in their original po‐  
sitions.  
♦ To avoid damage to lines, ensure sufficient clearance to  
all moving or hot components.

– Mark and remove poly V-belt. ⇒ page 18  
– Remove toothed belt guards on left and right.  
– Mark direction of rotation of toothed belt using a coloured felt-  
tip marker.  
– Turn crankshaft to TDC. Mark on toothed belt guard -A- must  
align with mark on V-belt pulley -B-.  
– Check position of camshaft sprockets. The larger holes in se‐  
curing plates -arrows- must be positioned to the inside and  
must be aligned with the horizontal camshaft centre line.  
Note  
If the larger holes in the securing plates are positioned to the out‐  
side of the camshaft sprockets, the crankshaft must be turned one  
revolution further in direction of engine rotation.  
lk  
– Remove sealing plug -arrow- from left side of cylinder block.  
The TDC drilling in the crankshaft must be visible (or able to  
be felt) in the sealing plug hole.  
– Carefully screw locking pin -3242- into drilling to stop in order  
prevent crankshaft from turning.  
– Remove middle part of toothed belt guard.  
– Remove vibration damper.  
Note  
The vibration damper is secured to the crankshaft with 8 securing  
bolts.

– Remove securing bolts -arrows- for alternator. Move alternator  
aside slightly.  
– First unscrew bolt -1- from oil filter housing. Then unscrew  
bolts -2- from cover for toothed belt tensioning element.  
– Remove cover.  
Note  
The toothed belt tensioning element is provided with oil damp‐  
ing. It can therefore only be pushed back slowly.  
Use locking pin -T40011- for securing the tensioning element.  
– If necessary, before tensioning align holes in housing and in  
piston of tensioning element using long nose pliers or thin wire.  
– Turn tensioning lever of toothed belt tensioning roller -1- in  
-direction of arrow- using hexagon key.  
lk  
– Secure tensioning element with locking pin -T40011- when the  
tensioning lever of the toothed belt tensioning element -2- has  
been pushed back so that the holes in the housing and the  
pistons align.  
– Insert camshaft clamp -T40005- into camshaft securing plates  
and loosen securing bolts by approx. 5 turns.  
– Remove camshaft clamp -T40005- again.

– Now pull camshaft sprockets off camshaft tapers using two-  
arm puller -T40001- and hook -T40001/2- .  
lk  
– Loosen tensioning roller -arrow- and remove toothed belt.

Installing and tensioning  
– Note marking for direction of rotation when reinstalling the ex‐  
isting toothed belt.  
– First, fit toothed belt to crankshaft toothed belt pulley -1-, then  
to idler roller of toothed belt tensioner -2- and then to tension‐  
ing roller -3-. After that, fit toothed belt to camshaft sprockets  
and coolant pump pulley as shown in the illustration.  
Note  
It should just be possible to turn the camshaft sprockets on the  
camshaft tapers.  
– Fit camshaft clamp -T40005- onto camshaft pulleys again.

– Insert a 5 mm drill bit between the tensioning lever and the  
tensioning element piston -arrow-.  
– Now pre-tension tensioning roller (still in loosened condition)  
using torque wrench -V.A.G 1410- with attached reversible  
ratchet -VAS 5122- and tensioner wrench -T40009- in anti-  
clockwise direction -arrow- to 4 Nm.  
– Tighten bolt -1- to 45 Nm in this position.  
– Then remove 5 mm drill.  
– Turn tensioning lever of toothed belt tensioning roller -1- in  
-direction of arrow- using hexagon key.  
– When piston of toothed belt tensioning element -2- has been  
pushed back by tensioning lever, pull out locking pin -  
T40011- .  
– Turn tensioning lever of toothed belt tensioning roller -1- in  
direction of -arrow-, using hexagon key and place a 7 mm drill  
between housing and tensioning lever.  
– Tighten camshaft sprockets to 55 Nm.  
– Remove camshaft clamp -T40005- again.  
– Pull out drill inserted between housing and tensioning lever.

– Remove clamping bolt -3242- from hole, install sealing plug  
-arrow- and tighten to 30 Nm.  
– Turn crankshaft two full turns in direction of engine rotation  
and check setting dimension -a-: specification 5 mm.  
Further assembly is basically the reverse of the dismantling se‐  
quence.
