TIMING CHAINS
Timing chains will stretch during operation. Limits are
placed upon amount of stretch before replacement is required. Timing
chain stretch will alter ignition timing and valve timing.
To check timing chain stretch, rotate crankshaft to eliminate
slack from one side of timing chain. Mark reference point on cylinder
block. Rotate crankshaft in opposite direction to eliminate slack from
remaining side of timing chain. Force other side of chain outward
and measure distance between reference point and timing chain. See
Fig. 23. Replace timing chain and gears if not within specification.Fig. 23: Measuring Timing Chain Stretch - Typical

to ensure correct amount of oil has filled crankcase. Check oil level
while pre-oiling.
If pressure oiler is not available, disconnect ignition
system. Remove oil pressure sending unit and replace with oil pressure
test gauge. Using starter motor, rotate engine starter until gauge
shows normal oil pressure for several seconds. DO NOT crank engine
for more than 30 seconds to avoid starter motor damage.
Ensure oil pressure has reached the most distant point from
the oil pump. Reinstall oil pressure sending unit. Reconnect ignition
system.
INITIAL START-UP
Start the engine and operate engine at low speed while
checking for coolant, fuel and oil leaks. Stop engine. Recheck coolant
and oil level. Adjust if necessary.
CAMSHAFT
Break-in procedure is required when a new or reground
camshaft has been installed. Operate and maintain engine speed between
1500-2500 RPM for approximately 30 minutes. Procedure may vary due to
manufacturers recommendations.
PISTON RINGS
Piston rings require a break-in procedure to ensure seating
of rings to cylinder walls. Serious damage may occur to rings if
correct procedures are not followed.
Extremely high piston ring temperatures are produced obtained
during break-in process. If rings are exposed to excessively high RPM
or high cylinder pressures, ring damage can occur. Follow piston ring
manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure.
FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Check or adjust ignition timing and dwell (if applicable).
Adjust valves (if necessary). Adjust carburetion or injection idle
speed and mixture. Retighten cylinder heads (if required). If
cylinder head or block is aluminum, retighten bolts when engine is
cold. Follow the engine manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure
and maintenance schedule for new engines.
NOTE: Some manufacturer's require that head bolts be retightened
after specified amount of operation. This must be done to
prevent head gasket failure.

Volkswagen Basic Diagnostic Procedures
Cabriolet, Corrado SLC, EuroVan, Fox, Golf,
GTI, Jetta, Passat GL, Passat GLX
INTRODUCTION
The following diagnostic steps will help prevent overlooking
a simple problem. This is also where to begin diagnosis for a no-start
condition.
The first step in diagnosing any driveability problem is
verifying the customer's complaint with a test drive under the
conditions the problem reportedly occurred.
Before entering self-diagnostics (if equipped), perform a
careful and complete visual inspection. Most engine control problems
result from mechanical breakdowns, poor electrical connections, or
damaged/misrouted vacuum hoses. Before condemning the computerized
system, perform each test listed in this article.
NOTE: Perform all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter
(DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless
stated otherwise in test procedure.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENTS
VISUAL INSPECTION
Visually inspect all electrical wiring, looking for chafed,
stretched, cut or pinched wiring. Ensure electrical connectors fit
tightly and are not corroded. Ensure vacuum hoses are properly routed
and are not pinched or cut. See M - VACUUM DIAGRAMS article in this
section to verify routing and connections (if necessary). Inspect air
induction system for possible vacuum leaks.
MECHANICAL INSPECTION
Compression
Check engine mechanical condition with a compression gauge,
vacuum gauge, or an engine analyzer. See engine analyzer manual for
specific instructions.
WARNING: DO NOT use ignition switch during compression tests on fuel
injected vehicles. Use a remote starter to crank engine. Fuel
injectors on many models are triggered by ignition switch
during cranking mode, which can create a fire hazard or
contaminate the engine's oiling system.

exhaust system backpressure is greater than 2 psi, exhaust system or
catalytic converter is plugged.
If a vacuum gauge is used, connect vacuum gauge hose to
intake manifold vacuum port and start engine. Observe vacuum gauge.
Open throttle part way and hold steady. If vacuum gauge reading slowly
drops after stabilizing, check exhaust system for restriction.

ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ FUEL PRESSURE
Basic diagnosis of fuel system should begin with determining
fuel system pressure.
WARNING: ALWAYS relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel
injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact
engine or electrical components.
CIS-E Motronic
1) Ensure ignition is off. Wrap a cloth around fuel
distributor port near cold start valve. Slowly loosen distributor port
near cold start valve to release fuel pressure. Connect fuel pressure
gauge between fuel distributor port and end of fuel line to cold start
valve. Disconnect differential pressure regulator harness connector.
2) Start engine and let it run. System fuel pressure should
89-96 psi (6.3-6.7 kg/cm
ý). If system fuel pressure is lower than
specification, perform fuel volume check. If fuel volume is okay,
replace fuel pressure regulator.
3) If fuel pressure is greater than specification, remove
return hose from pressure regulator and place in a container. Repeat
test. If system pressure is okay, check for restricted fuel return
line. If pressure is incorrect, replace fuel pressure regulator.
4) Turn ignition off. After 10 minutes, residual pressure
should be 48 psi (3.4 kg/cm
ý). After 20 minutes, residual pressure
should be 46 psi (3.2 kg/cm
ý). If system fuel pressure is low, check
fuel pump check valve, sensor plate free play, fuel distributor "O"
rings and seats. Replace if necessary. If these components are okay,
replace fuel pressure regulator.
Digifant
1) Ensure ignition is off. Wrap a cloth around service port
on fuel plenum. Slowly loosen service port on fuel plenum to release
fuel pressure. Install fuel pressure gauge at service port on fuel
plenum. Fuel pressure gauge must have reading range of 0-50 psi. Start
engine and allow it to idle. System fuel pressure should be
approximately 36 psi (2.5 kg/cm
ý).
2) Disconnect vacuum hose from top of fuel pressure
regulator. Fuel pressure should increase to approximately 44 psi (3

kg/cmý). Turn engine off. After 10 minutes, residual pressure should
be 29 psi (2 kg/cm
ý). If system pressure is too high, replace fuel
pressure regulator.
3) If residual pressure is too low, operate engine until
system pressure builds up, then pinch off Blue fuel return line. If
pressure holds, replace the fuel regulator. If fuel pressure is low,
check for leaks at fuel lines, fuel injectors and fuel pump check
valve
TRANSFER PUMP CHECK
Transfer Pump Fuel Volume Check
1) Turn ignition off. To check transfer pump (in tank),
remove rear seat. Remove fuel sending unit access cover. Disconnect
ignition coil secondary wire and jumper to ground.
2) With transmission in Neutral, crank engine for 3-4
seconds. While starter is turning and for a few seconds afterwards, an
audible sound should be heard at the pump. If sound is not heard, go
to next step. If sound is heard, go to step 5).
3) Remove fuel pump relay from relay panel. On Corrado and
Passat, activate fuel pumps using Remote Control (VAG 1348/3A). On all
other models, activate fuel pumps using Remote Control (US 4480/3). On
all models, if pump does not operate, remove transfer pump wire
harness connector. See Fig. 1.
4) Using test light, check voltage between middle wire and
outer Brown wire of fuel pump connector for Digifant fuel system, or
between Brown wire and Red/Yellow wire for CIS-E fuel system. If
voltage is present, replace transfer pump. If voltage is not present,
repair open or short circuit in wiring.
5) Remove fuel pump relay jumper wire. Disconnect and plug
transfer pump output hose. Attach a hose to pump outlet connector and
place other end of hose in a graduated container. Activate fuel pump
for 10 seconds.
6) Minimum fuel flow should be 10 ounces (.3 liter). If fuel
flow is low, check fuel tank filter for restriction. If fuel tank
filter is okay, replace transfer pump.Fig. 1: Checking Transfer Pump Fuel Volume (Typical)
