Note:
Care must be taken when disposing of old sodium filled valves. They must be cut through in the centre of the
stem with a hacksaw. When doing this they must be perfectly dry (must not come into contact with water). The
valves prepared in this way can then be thrown into a bucket of water a maximum of ten at a time. When doing
this step back quickly because a sudden chemical reaction causes the sodium filling to burn. After this treatment,
the valves can be put in with the normal scrap.

◆ Depth gauge
◆ Valve seat refacing tool
Work sequence
Notes:
◆ When repairing engines with leaking valves, it is not sufficient to replace or renew valve seats and valves.
It is also necessary to check the valve guides for wear. This particularly important on high mileage engines
=> Page 102 .
◆ The valve seats should only be reworked just enough to produce a perfect seating pattern. The maximum
permissible reworking dimension must be calculated before work is carried out. If the reworking dimension
is exceeded, the function of the hydraulic tappets can no longer be guaranteed and therefore the cylinder
head should be renewed.
- Remove camshafts => Page 96 .
The max. permissible reworking dimension is calculated as follows:
- Insert valve and press firmly against seat.
Note:
If the valve is to be renewed as part of a repair, use a new valve for the calculation.
- -> Measure distance between end of valve stem and upper edge of cylinder head.
- Calculate max. permissible reworking dimension from measured distance and minimum dimension.
Minimum dimension:
Outer inlet valves 34.0 mm
Centre inlet valve 33.7 mm
Exhaust valve 34.4 mm
Measured distance minus minimum dimension

= max. permissible reworking dimension.
Example:
- Measured distance 34.4 mm

Minimum dimension 34.0 mm
= max. perm. rework dimension* 0.4 mm

2.4 - Checking hydraulic bucket tappets
◆ Feeler gauge
◆ Wood or plastic wedge
Notes:
◆ Renew defective tappet complete (cannot be adjusted or repaired).

◆ Irregular valve noises when starting engine are normal.
Test sequence
- Start engine and run until the radiator fan has switched on once.
- Increase engine speed to about 2500 rpm for approx. 2 minutes.
If the hydraulic tappets are still noisy, locate defective tappets as follows:
- Remove pressure hose between combi-valve and secondary air pump motor at combi-valve and unclip
pressure hose from retainers.
Note:

- Rotate crankshaft clockwise, until cam of the tappet to be checked is pointing upwards.
- Determine play between cam and bucket tappet.
- If the play is in excess of 0.2 mm, renew bucket tappet. If the play is less than 0.1 mm or no play, proceed
with check as follows:
- -> Push bucket tappet down lightly with a wooden or plastic wedge. If when the bucket tappet is pushed
down a 0.2 mm thick feeler gauge can be pushed between the camshaft and bucket tappet, the bucket
tappet is to be replaced.
Note:
After installing new tappets the engine must not be started for approx. 30 minutes. Hydraulic compensation
elements must settle (otherwise valves will strike pistons).

Filling
Notes:
◆ Only use coolant additive G 12 in accordance with TL VW 774 F.

Distinguishing feature: coloured violet
◆ G 12 and coolant additives marked "In accordance with TL VW 774 F" prevent frost and corrosion damage,
scaling and also raise boiling point of coolant. For this reason the system must be filled all year round with
frost and corrosion protection additives.
◆ G 12 violet (in accordance with TL VW 774 F) can be mixed with the previous coolant additives G 11 and
G 12 red!
◆ 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 anti-freeze ratio must be at least 40 %.
1.8 - Draining and filling cooling system 153

Sharan 1996 ➤
◆ If for climatic reasons a greater frost protection is required, the amount of G 12 can be increased, but only
up to 60 % (frost protection to about -40 °C), as otherwise frost protection is reduced again and cooling
effectiveness is also reduced.
◆ The refractometer T10007 is recommended for determining the current anti-freeze density.
◆ If radiator, heat exchanger, cylinder head or cylinder head gasket is replaced, do not reuse old coolant.

1.4 - Safety precautions when working on the fuel supply system
Warning!
cramped conditions:
When removing and installing the fuel gauge sender or fuel pump (fuel delivery unit) from a full or partly full fuel
tank the following must be observed:
Warning!
◆ Before commencing work, switch on exhaust extraction system and place an extraction hose close to the
sender opening in the fuel tank to extract escaping fuel fumes.
If no exhaust extraction system is available, a radial fan (as long as motor is not in air flow) with a displace‐
ment greater than 15 m3/h can be used.
◆ Prevent skin contact with fuel! Wear fuel-resistant gloves!

Sharan 1996 ➤
◆ For reasons of safety, remove fuse No. 14 from fuse holder before opening the fuel system because the
fuel pump can be activated by the driver's door contact switch.
1.5 - Rules for cleanliness
When working on the fuel supply/injection system, pay careful attention to the following "5 rules":
◆ Thoroughly clean all unions and the adjacent areas before disconnecting.
◆ Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover. Do not use fluffy cloths!
◆ Carefully cover opened components or seal, if the repair cannot be carried out immediately.
◆ Only install clean components:
Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation.
Do not use parts that have been stored loose (e.g. in tool boxes etc.).
◆ When the system is open:
Do not work with compressed air if this can be avoided.
Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.

3 - Electronic power control (EPC): engine code AWC

3.1 - Electronic power control (EPC): engine code AWC
3.2 - Function of EPC system
With the EPC system the throttle valve is not operated by a cable. There is no mechanical connection between
accelerator and throttle valve.
The position of the accelerator is transmitted to the engine control unit by two accelerator position senders
(variable resistors together in a housing) which are connected to the accelerator pedal.
The position of the accelerator (drivers requirement) is the main input value for the engine control unit.
The throttle valve is operated over the complete revolution and load range by an electric motor (throttle valve
positioner) in the throttle valve control part.
The throttle valve is operated by the throttle valve positioner which is controlled by the engine control unit.
When the engine is not running and the ignition is switched on the engine control unit moves the throttle valve
exactly as prescribed by the accelerator pedal position sender. This means that when the accelerator is de‐
pressed halfway the throttle valve positioner opens the throttle valve by the same amount, the throttle is then
approximately half open.
When the engine is running (under load) the engine control unit can open or close the throttle valve independ‐
ently of the accelerator pedal position sender.
This means that the throttle valve can already be completely open even though the accelerator pedal is de‐
pressed half way.
After evaluating the torque requirements of various components (e.g. air conditioning, automatic gearbox, ABS/
ESP and so on), the engine control unit calculates the optimal throttle valve opening angle for the respective
situation.
This also gives vastly improved consumption and exhaust emission levels at certain load conditions.
It is incorrect to believe that the "EPC" is comprised of one or two components only. The EPC is a system,
which is comprised of all components which have an influence, control or monitor the position of the throttle

4 - Activated charcoal filter system

4.1 - Activated charcoal filter system
4.2 - Function
Depending upon the air pressure and ambient temperature, fuel vapour will form above the level of fuel in the
tank.
The activated charcoal filter system prevents these HC emissions escaping to the atmosphere.
Fuel vapours pass through a gravity valve (which closes at an angle of 45 °) located at the highest point in the
tank and through a pressure retention valve into the activated charcoal filter in limited quantities.
The activated charcoal stores these vapours like a sponge.

Sharan 1996 ➤
When the Lambda control is active when driving (engine warm), the activated charcoal filter solenoid valve
(N80), also called regeneration valve), is activated (pulsed) from engine control unit depending upon load and
engine speed. The opening period is dependent on the input signals.
During the purging procedure (regeneration of activated charcoal), the intake manifold vacuum draws fresh air
through the vent opening on the activated charcoal filter. The fuel vapours stored in the activated charcoal and
fresh air are fed in pulses for combustion.
The pressure retention valve prevents fuel vapours from being drawn from the tank when the activated charcoal
filter solenoid valve (N80) is open and intake manifold vacuum is present. It thus ensures that the evacuation
of the activated charcoal filter has priority.
With no voltage (e.g. wiring open circuit), the activated charcoal filter solenoid valve (N80) is closed and the
activated charcoal filter will not be purged.
Notes:
◆ Hose connections are secured with either spring-type or clamp-type clips.
