Cylinder head, installing

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

  1. Polydrive Bit and Drive Socket T10070
  1. Crankshaft Holder 3242

Installing

Note. Replace cylinder head bolts. During assembly, replace self-locking nuts and bolts. Always replace bolts that are tightened to torque as well as O-rings and gaskets. Carefully remove residual sealant from cylinder head and cylinder block. Make sure that no long scrapes or scratches result. Carefully remove all grinding and sanding residue. There must be no oil or coolant in the blind holes for the cylinder head bolts in the cylinder block. After installing a replacement cylinder head with camshafts installed, oil contact surfaces between valve lifters, cam followers and cam lubricating surfaces after installing cylinder head. Do not remove plastic bases protecting exposed valves until immediately before installing cylinder head. When replacing the cylinder head or cylinder head gasket, coolant must be completely replaced. Reworking the cylinder heads is not permissible. Cylinder heads with cracks between valve seats or between valve seat and spark plug thread can still be used without loss of service life if the cracks are minute (max. 0.3 mm width) or only the first four threads of a spark plug thread are cracked. Only unpack new cylinder head gasket immediately prior to installation. Handle gasket carefully. Damages to the silicone layer and in areas of recesses may result in leaks. Install cylinder head gasket onto guide sleeves. Marking "oben" (top) or part number must face toward cylinder head. Secure all hose connections using hose clamps appropriate for the model type . After working on the valvetrain and lifters, carefully rotate the crankshaft by hand at least 2 full revolutions before starting to be sure that valves do not strike the pistons. All cable ties which are opened or cut open when removing, must be replaced in the same position when installing.

  1. Before positioning cylinder head, set crankshaft and camshafts on DTC cylinder 5

CAUTIONWorn sodium-filled exhaust valves must not be scrapped without first being properly treated. Using a metal saw, the valves must be cut into two pieces between the shaft center and valve head. While doing this, do not come into contact with water. At the very most, throw 10 of the prepared valves into a bucket filled with water. Then, move quickly away, because a sudden chemical reaction will occur during which the sodium is burnt away. The treated parts may then be discarded through conventional disposal channels.

Valve guides, checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

  1. Dial gauge holder VW 387
  2. Dial gauge

Test sequence

Scheme 239

Scheme 239
  1. Insert valve into guide. The end of the valve stem must be flush with the guide. Due to the slight difference in stem dimensions, ensure that only an intake valve is used in the intake guide and an exhaust valve in exhaust guide.
  2. Determine tip clearance.

Wear limit

Intake valve guideExhaust valve guide
0.80 mm0.80 mm

Note. If wear limit is exceeded, re-measure using new valves. If wear limit is still exceeded, replace cylinder head. The valve guides cannot be replaced. If the valve is to be replaced as part of a repair, use a new valve for the calculation.

Valves, checking

  1. Visually check for signs of wear on stem and on seating surface. Replace valve if it shows significant signs of wear.

Valve seats, reworking

Note. If a perfect contact pattern is not achieved by grinding the valve seats, rework the valve seats.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

  1. Depth gauge
  2. Valve seat refacing tool

Note. When repairing engines with leaking valves, it is not sufficient to rework or replace valve seats and valves. It is particularly important to check valve guides for wear on engines with higher mileage performance --> Valve guides, checking . Only reface valve seats enough until a perfect contact pattern is obtained. Before refacing, determine maximum refacing dimension. If the reworking dimension is exceeded, the function of the hydraulic lifters can no longer be guaranteed and therefore the cylinder head should be replaced.

Determining maximum allowable refacing dimension

  1. Insert valve and press it firmly against the valve seat.

Note. If the valve is to be replaced as part of a repair, use a new valve for the calculation.

Scheme 240

Scheme 240
  1. Measure distance - a - between end of valve stem and camshaft center axle (camshaft center axle is located at the level of cylinder head upper edge).
  2. Determine maximum allowable refacing dimension using distance measured and minimum dimension.

Measured distance minus minimum dimension = maximum permissible refaced dimension.

Example for outer intake valve

Note. If the maximum permissible refacing dimension is 0 mm or less, repeat measurement using new valve. If measurement result is still 0 mm or less than 0 mm, replace cylinder head.

Filling

Note. The cooling system is filled all year round with a mixture of frost and corrosion protection additives and water. Use only coolant additive Plus G 012 A8F A1 (short: G12+) "according to TL VW 774 F". Other coolant additives may above all reduce the corrosion protection effect significantly. The damage resulting from this may lead to loss of coolant and consequently to severe engine damage. Coolant additive G12+ can be combined with additives G11 and G12. G12+ and coolant additives with the designation "according to TL VW 774 F" reduce frost and corrosion damage as well as lime deposits. They also raise the boiling point. For this reason the system must be filled all year round with frost and corrosion protection additives. Because of its high boiling point, the coolant improves engine reliability under heavy loads, particularly in countries with tropical climates. Protection against frost must be assured to about -25°C (in arctic climatic countries to about -35°C). The coolant concentration must not be reduced by adding water even in warmer seasons and in warmer countries. The coolant additive portion must be at least 40%. If for climatic reasons greater frost protection is required, the amount of G12+ can be increased, but only up to 60% (frost protection to about -40°C), otherwise frost protection and cooling effectiveness will be reduced. Only clean drinking water may be used for mixing coolant. If the radiator, heater core, cylinder head and cylinder head gasket or cylinder block is replaced, completely replace the engine coolant. Dirty coolant must not be re-used. For coolant G12+ , use refractometer T10007 to test frost protection in cooling system. Replace seal. Secure all hose connections using hose clamps appropriate for the model type .

  1. Connect coolant hose - 1 -.
  2. Install drain plug - 2 - at oil filter bracket with new gasket in engine at right.

Secondary air injection (AIR) system

The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system heats up the engine faster, and thereby catalytic converter achieves operation readiness earlier after a cold start.

Principle

Due to rich mixture during cold start phase, the exhaust emissions contain an increased level of unburned hydrocarbons.

The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system improves the secondary oxidation within the catalytic converter, thereby reducing harmful emissions.

The heat released by secondary oxidation shortens the start-up time of the catalytic converter considerably, as well as significantly improves emissions quality during the cold-running phase.

Function

Scheme 338

Scheme 338: Secondary air injection (AIR) system
  1. In cold start phase, the ECM - 3 - activates secondary air pump - 1 - via relay for secondary air pump - 2 -. Air reaches combination valves for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) - 4 - and - 8 -.
  2. The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) valve - 5 - is activated in parallel, which allows the vacuum to reach the combination valves for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) - 4 - and - 8 -. The appropriate combination valve for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) thereby opens the path for secondary air to the exhaust channels of the cylinder head.
