Checking valve timing
Special tools and workshop equipment required
t Spark plug spanner -3122 B-
t Torque wrench -V.A.G 1331-
t Dial gauge -VAS 6079-
t Puller -T10094-
t Dial gauge adapter -T10170-
t Camshaft clamp -T10171-
Test procedure
– Remove exhaust gas recirculation valve -N18- → Chapter.
– Unhook wiring harness (not shown in the figure) on the coolant pipe -4-.
– Remove bolts -5- from coolant pipe -4-.
– Remove bolt -2- from cap -1-.
– Take caps -1- and -3- off. Collect leaking engine oil with a cloth.
– Remove spark plug from cylinder No. 1. To do this use puller -T10094- and the
spark plug spanner 3122 B → Chapter.
– Turn the dial gauge adapter -T10170- to limit stop into the spark plug thread.

– Set dial gauge -VAS 6079- with the extension -T10170/1- up to limit stop and clamp
with the clamping nut -arrow-.
– Set crankshaft in engine D.O.R. to TDC cylinder No. 1. Note the position of the dial
gauge indicator.
The holes -arrows- in the camshafts must stand as shown. If necessary turn crankshaft
one turn further (360°).
Note
t If the crankshaft was turned more than 0.01 mm past the TDC, the crankshaft must
be turned again approx. 45° against engine direction of rotation. Then turn the
crankshaft in engine D.O.R. to TDC cylinder No. 1.
t Max. permissible deviation of TDC cylinder No. 1: ±0.01 mm.
– Fit camshaft clamp -T10171- to limit stop into the camshaft openings.
The retaining pins -arrows 1- must engage into the holes -arrows 2-. The inscription
“TOP”-arrow 3- must be legible from above.
If the camshaft clamp -T10171- can not be inserted up to limit stop into the camshaft
openings the timing is wrong and must be adapted again → Chapter.
The timing is OK when the camshaft clamp -T10171- can be inserted into the camshaft
openings up to limit stop.
Further assembly is basically the reverse of the dismantling procedure. During this
step, observe the following:
t Renew seals for the camshaft sealing caps and lubricate before installing.
t Installing exhaust gas recirculation valve -N18- → Chapter.
