Note:  
Turn over the engine at the central bolt on the crankshaft.  -  Turn crankshaft to TDC by hand. Marks -A- and -B- must be aligned.
-  Check position of camshafts: larger holes in securing plates on 
camshaft sprockets must align opposite one another on inside. If this is 
not the case, turn crankshaft one revolution further. 
-  Remove sealing plug from cylinder block, left.
   TDC drilling in the crankshaft must be visible (or able to be felt) in line 
with the sealing plug hole. 
    
-  Screw clamping bolt 3242 for crankshaft into sealing plug hole and 
tighten.

Notes:  
     
Mark the direction of rotation of the toothed belt 
with chalk or felt pen before removing. A used 
belt can break if it rotates in the wrong direction 
when reinstalled. 
     The toothed belt tensioning element is oil-
damped and can therefore only be compressed 
slowly by applying constant pressure. 
    
-  Using a hexagon key, turn toothed belt tensioning roller -1- clockwise 8 
mm in direction of arrow until tensioning lever -2- compresses 
tensioning element -3- sufficiently to enable a 2mm dia. spring pin to be 
installed in the drilling and in the plunger. 
-  Insert spring pin and release toothed belt tensioning roller.
   Use spring pin from 2024 A.
-  Insert camshaft clamp 3391 in securing plates of two camshafts.
-  Loosen both camshaft bolts and remove approx. 5 turns.
-  Take out camshaft clamp 3391.
    
-  Pull off both camshaft sprockets with special tool T40001.

Installing  
     
Notes:  
     
Do not allow any oil or coolant to remain in the 
blind holes for the cylinder head bolts in the 
cylinder block. 
     Replace cylinder head bolts.

 .
      When installing a new cylinder head:  
     
-  Screw in centering pin for intake manifold.
      The cylinder head supplied as a replacement 
part can be used on both sides (left or right). But 
a sealing cap (core plug) must be installed in the 
front end of the cylinder head in each case.  
     
-  Coat outside circumference of sealing cap (core 
plug) with sealant AMV 188 001 02. 
    
-  Using drift VW 295, knock in sealing cap (core plug) until outside rim is 
flush with end of chamfer in cylinder head.

-  Before installing cylinder head in position, turn 
crankshaft and camshafts to TDC of No. 3 
cylinder. 
     
-  Install cylinder head gasket on dowel sleeves. 
The marking "oben" (top) or part number must 
face towards cylinder head. 
     
-  Install cylinder head, insert cylinder head bolts 
and tighten finger-tight. 
    
It is not necessary to torque down cylinder head bolts again after repairs 
have been completed.  -  Tighten cylinder head bolts in two stages in sequence shown, as 
follows: 
 
Stage 1 = 60 Nm. 
 Stage 2 = turn a further 
1/2 turn (180 ) with a rigid wrench (turning 
2 x 90 is also permissible).
