-  Disconnect connector from solenoid valve.
    
If specified value is not obtained:  
Checking voltage supply   -  Connect multimeter at valve for resistance measurement.
 
Specified value: 10 ... 18 
- Replace valve.
-  Disconnect connector from solenoid valve.
    
If LED does not light:  -  Connect VAG 1527B voltage tester as follows:Harness connector  
terminal  
Measure to  
1   Engine Ground (GND)

Note:  
The two markings on the camshafts must be in line with the two arrows on 
the bearing caps.  
Notes:   -  Check TDC position of camshafts once again. 
-  Clean drive chain and camshaft chain sprockets in vicinity of arrows on 
bearing caps and mark position of chain on sprockets with paint 
opposite two arrows. 
    
The distance between the two arrows (and thus between the paint 
markings) is 16 rollers on the chain. The notch on the exhaust camshaft is offset slightly towards the inside 
in relation to chain roller -1-. Do not mark the chain with a center punch or by making a notch or 
similar.

-  Install drive chain on camshaft sprockets as 
follows: 
    
 
When the old chain is being used again, install the chain so that 
the paint markings (arrow) are in line. 
    
 
When a new chain is being installed, the distance between the 
notches -A- and -B- on the camshafts must be 16 rollers on the 
chain. The illustration shows the exact positions of the 1st and 16th 
rollers on the sprockets. 
 Notch -A- is offset slightly towards the inside in relation to chain 
roller -1-. 
-  Insert camshaft adjuster inside chain (second mechanic required).
-  Locate camshafts with chain and camshaft adjuster in cylinder head.
-  Oil camshaft bearing surfaces.

-  Check correct setting of camshafts:
    
 
The two markings on the camshafts must be in line with the two 
arrows on the bearing caps -arrows-. 
    
 
The distance between the two arrows on the bearing caps (or 
between the paint markings) is 16 rollers on the chain. 
 The notch on the exhaust camshaft is offset slightly towards the 
inside in relation to chain roller -1-.

Inlet side  
Note:  
The inlet valves are installed in the cylinder head at different angles.   -  To prevent damage to the new valve stem seals, place plastic sleeve -
A- on the valve stem. 
-  Lightly oil sealing lip. 
-  Insert valve stem seal -B- (without oiling outside of seal) into installing 
tool 3129 and carefully push it down onto the valve guide. 
-  When installing new valves, lightly oil valve stems before installing. 
    
Valve spring compressor 3362 can be set accordingly to two different 
positions:  
1 - Upper position for center valve
2 - Lower position for the two outer valves
3 - Threads on each side to take M6 x 25 bolts for securing spring 
compressor to cylinder head
