GENERAL REPAIR INFORMATION
Note. If a replacement cylinder head is installed, several contact surfaces between the support elements, roller cam followers and cam lubricating surfaces of the camshaft must be oiled before installing the cylinder head cover. The plastic protectors installed to protect the open valves must only be removed immediately before fitting the cylinder head. Replace the cylinder head bolts. When replacing the cylinder head or cylinder head gasket, the coolant must be completely replaced.
Note. Cylinder heads with cracks between the valve seats, or between the valve seat and the spark plug threads, can continue to be used without reducing the service life, as long as the cracks have a Max. width 0.3 millimeters (mm), or only the first 4 threads of the spark plug threads are cracked. The cylinder head and guide frame may only be replaced together. Do not grind the valve seats in the cylinder head, only lapping the valves is permitted. After installing the camshafts, the engine may not be started for approximately 30 minutes. The hydraulic adjusting elements must seat themselves (otherwise the valves will seat themselves on the pistons). After working on the valvetrain and lifters, carefully rotate the crankshaft by hand at least 2 full revolutions before starting the engine to be sure that valves do not strike the pistons. Always replace gaskets and seals.

- Remove the T40069 from the cylinder block and install the locking bolt.
- Fill with coolant. Refer to «DRAINING AND FILLING»(/volkswagen/new-beetle/a4-2005-2011/remont/cooling-fan/#25l-cooling-system-engine-codes-bpr-bps-hatchback__draining-and-filling) .
CAMSHAFTS
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Torque wrench (5-50 Nm) VAG 1331
- Hand drill with plastic brush attachment
- Protective eyewear
- Sealant D 154 103 A1
Removing
Note. Sealing surfaces on the bottom of the guide frame and top of the cylinder head must not be reworked. Camshaft bearings are integrated in cylinder head or in guide frame. Before removing guide frame, chain sprockets of camshafts must be removed. If the guide frame was loosened, the sealing plugs must be replaced.
Secure the camshafts and remove the sprocket and actuator from the camshafts. Refer to VALVE TIMING, ADJUSTING .
Remove the T40070.
Remove the guide frame bolts evenly from the outside toward the inside and remove the guide frame.
Carefully remove the camshaft and place it on a clean surface.
Installing
| CAUTION | To prevent injuries from shavings, wear protective goggles and protective clothing. |
Remove the remainder of sealant from the guide frame (out of the grooves as well) and from the cylinder head using a rotating plastic brush.
| CAUTION | Make sure that no sealant residue enters the engine. |
Clean the sealing surfaces, they must be free of oil and grease.
Oil the journal surfaces of the camshafts.
Place the guide frame on a soft surface.
Install the camshafts correctly into the guide frame.
Scheme 39
- Intake camshaft with sensor wheel -2- points toward the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor -G40- -1-.
- Camshafts must lie exactly in the axial bearings -3- in the guide frame.
- Seal ends -4 and 5- must point upward or downward, they must not point to the side under any circumstances.
With the camshafts installed in the guide frame, hold the camshafts firmly in place and turn over and install the guide frame.
Rotate the camshafts until the threaded holes -arrows- point upward.
Scheme 40
Check whether the camshafts still lie exactly in the axial bearings of the guide frame.
Install the T40070 as shown to the camshafts and tighten the bolts to 20 Nm.
Turn over the guide frame again.
Cut the tube nozzle at the front mark (nozzle diameter approximately 1 millimeter (mm)).
Lightly apply an even bead of sealant into the clean grooves of the guide frame -1 through 8-.
Scheme 41
Width of sealant bead
- Grooves -1 through 5- : approximately 3.0 mm
- Grooves -6 through 8- : approximately 4.0 mm
Note. Sealant beads must be applied according to exact specifications, otherwise excess sealant could get into the camshaft bearings. Installing and securing the guide frame should be performed without interruption because the sealant begins to harden immediately as soon as it contacts the sealing surfaces. Note the expiration date of the sealing compound.
Install the guide frame onto the cylinder head immediately.
Gently tighten the bolts from the inside working toward the outside in several stages.
Then tighten the bolts to 8 Nm in the sequence indicated.
After that, continue to tighten all bolts an additional 90° (1/4) further.
Sealant must bulge outward slightly, even in the area of chain compartment -arrows-.
Scheme 42
Wipe off the sealant on the sealing surface facing the chain compartment cover.
Carefully press in the sealing plugs -A- until they reach the end of the chamfer -arrows-.
Scheme 43
Note. If the sealing plug was pressed in too far, it must be pressed through and pressed in again up to the mark.
The rest of the installation follows the reverse of the removal procedures. When doing this note the following
- Remove the T40069 from the cylinder block and install the locking bolt (30 Nm).
- Fill with coolant. Refer to «DRAINING AND FILLING»(/volkswagen/new-beetle/a4-2005-2011/remont/cooling-fan/#25l-cooling-system-engine-codes-bpr-bps-hatchback__draining-and-filling) .
