  • Torque wrench - V.A.G 1331- (5 - 50 Nm)
  • Torque wrench - V.A.G 1332- (40 - 200 Nm)

»Carry out the following work sequence«

Removing

  • Lock chain tensioner using locking pin - T40011- -arrow-.
  • Unscrew bolt from idler sprocket -1- and remove idler sprocket.
  • Unscrew bolts -2- from chain tensioner and remove chain tensioner.
  • Remove chain from sprockets and lay chain on a clean surface.

Installing

Specified torque ⇒ 5 Balancer shaft module

  • Check chain drive components for wear.
  • Screw balance shaft module onto cylinder block hand-tight.
  • Align the balance shaft module so that the belt pulley end is flush with the outer edge of the cylinder block.
  • Check that marking -arrow- on crankshaft sprocket is positioned almost at top.
  • Clean chain with a lint-free cloth.
  • Fit chain onto chain sprockets of crankshaft, oil pump and balance shaft as shown in illustration.
  • Marking on crankshaft sprocket must align with single colour marking on chain link -top arrow- in this case.
  • Marking on balance shaft sprocket must be located between 2 colour markings on chain links -bottom arrow-.
  • The colour markings are only on the outer plates of the chain. They must be on the outside. This also guarantees the original direction of rotation of the chain.
  • Insert guide sprocket into chain, and bolt to balance shaft module at 23 Nm.
  • Install chain tensioner.
  • Replace bolts -2- and tighten as follows.
1)Centre bolt8 Nm
2)Bolt on oil pump8 Nm
3)Bolt on guide rail8 Nm
4)Centre boltTurn 90° (1/4 turn) further
5)Bolt on oil pumpTurn 90° (1/4 turn) further
6)Bolt on guide railTurn 90° (1/4 turn) further
  • Remove locking pin - T40011- from chain tensioner.
  • Check whether markings on sprocket/crankshaft and sprocket/balance shaft are still positioned correctly to colour markings on chain links -arrows-.
  • Install sealing flange on belt pulley end ⇒ 1.9.2 Ancillary bracket (removing and installing).
  • Install balance shaft cover.
