Procedures

Crankshaft, Locking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Torque Wrench (5-50 Nm) (V.A.G 1331)

• Crankshaft Adapter (T03003)

• Locking Pin (T40069)

Procedure

- Remove the noise insulation.

- Remove the front section of the right wheel housing liner..

- Install the crankshaft adapter (T03003) onto the bolts of the vibration damper.






The crankshaft adapter (T03003) can only be installed correctly in one position.

- Rotate the crankshaft in engine rotation direction until the arrow - A - on the crankshaft adapter (T03003) faces downward vertically in comparison to the engine axis.

This position corresponds approximately to the Top Dead Center (TDC) position of the crankshaft at cylinder 5.

- Remove the locking bolt - 1 - from the rear of the cylinder block.






- Look through the threaded hole and check whether the bore - 2 - in the crankshaft aligns with the threaded hole.

Use a mirror to do so, if necessary.

- Rotate the crankshaft slightly if necessary.

- If the bore and the hole align, install the locking pin (T40069) completely into the threaded hole and tighten it to 10 Nm.

• With the engine removed, the TDC mark can also be seen on the vibration damper and sealing flange. The notches - A and B - must align.






- Check whether the crankshaft can be rotated.

After Disassembly and Assembly Work

- Remove the locking pin (T40069) and install the locking bolt - 1 -.






The rest of the installation follows the reverse of the removal procedure.
