1.1 Engine number

The engine number („code letters“ and „serial number“) can be
found at the joint between engine and gearbox.
The engine number consists of up to nine characters (alphanu‐
meric). The first part (maximum 3 characters) makes up the
„engine code“, and the second part (6 characters), the „serial
number“. If more than 999,999 engines with the same engine
code are produced, the first of the six characters is replaced with
a letter.
Additionally there is a sticker on the toothed belt guard with „en‐
gine code“ and „serial number“.
The engine code is also included on the vehicle data sticker.

2.2 Reworking valve seats

♦ Depth gauge
♦ Valve seat refacing tool
Note
♦ When repairing engines with leaking valves, it is not sufficient

to rework or renew valve seats and valves. There is also a
requirement to check the valve guides for wear. This is par‐
ticularly important on high mileage engines.
♦ Valve seats are only to be reworked to the extent required to
yield a proper surface appearance. Before beginning to rework
valve seats, calculate the maximum permissible reworking di‐
mensions. If the reworking dimension is exceeded, the hy‐
draulic valve clearance compensation can no longer be
guaranteed and the cylinder head must be renewed.
The max. permissible reworking dimension is calculated as fol‐

lows:
– 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 -a- between end of valve stem and upper

edge of cylinder head.
– Calculate maximum permissible reworking dimension from
measured distance -a- and minimum dimension.
Minimum dimension: inlet valve 43.4 mm, exhaust valve 43.2 mm
Measured distance minus minimum dimension = max. permissi‐
ble reworking dimension.
Example:
Measured distance 44.1 mm
Minimum dimension 43.4 mm
= Max. permissible reworking 0.7 mm

dimension
2.2.1 Reworking inlet valve seat

a = ∅ 35.7 mm
b = 1.6 mm

Note
The 30° lower valve seat chamfer is necessary to ensure that the
inlet channel flow characteristics are maintained.
2.2.2 Reworking exhaust valve seat

a = ∅ 31.4 mm
b = 2.7 mm
45° = Valve seat angle
2.3 Checking valve guides

♦ Universal dial gauge bracket -VW 387-
♦ Dial gauge

Test procedure
– Insert new valve into guide. The end of the valve stem must
be flush with the guide. On account of differing stem diame‐
ters, only use inlet valve in inlet guide and exhaust valve in
exhaust guide.
– Rock: max. 1.3 mm
– Cylinder head must be renewed if rock exceeds wear limit.

– Remove sump.
– Remove sump, it may be necessary to release sump by tap‐
ping lightly with a rubber head hammer.
– Remove sealant residue from cylinder block with a flat scraper.
– Remove sealant residue on sump with a rotating brush, e.g.

an electric hand drill with a plastic brush attachment (wear eye
protection).
– Clean sealing surfaces. They must be free of oil and grease.

1.4.2 Installing
Note
♦ When fitting the oil sump to the removed engine, make sure
that the oil sump is aligned flush with the intermediate plate on
the flywheel side, i.e. the sump must protrude 0.8 mm beyond
the cylinder block.
♦ When the engine is installed, the oil sump must be flush with
the gearbox flange.
♦ Observe expiry date of sealing compound.
♦ The sump must be installed within 5 minutes of applying sili‐
cone sealing compound.
– Cut off tube nozzle at forward marking (∅ of nozzle approx. 3

mm).
– Apply silicone sealing compound, as shown, to clean sealing
surface on sump. Sealant bead must be:
♦ 2 ... 3 mm thick.
♦ Run bead along inner side of bolt holes -arrows-.
Note
The sealant bead must not be thicker, otherwise excess sealing

compound will enter the oil sump and may block the oil suction
line strainer.

– Apply silicone sealing compound bead as shown to the clean

sealing surface of the sump. (The figure shows the position of
the sealant bead on the cylinder block.)
– Before fitting oil sump, insert vertical M10 bolts in oil sump.

Not illustrated:
♦ Cooling system charge unit -VAS 6096-
1.3.1 Draining
– Detach vacuum hose from vacuum unit of shut-off valve (only
in vehicles up to 01.02).
– Open filler cap on coolant expansion tank.
– Remove noise insulation ⇒ General body repairs, exterior;
Rep. gr. 50 ; Noise insulation .

– Pull off lower coolant hose retaining clip -arrow- and remove
coolant hose from radiator.
– To drain coolant from engine, also detach coolant hoses from

engine oil cooler -arrows-.
Note
Follow disposal regulations for coolant!

1.3.2 Filling
Note
♦ For vehicles up to and including model year 2007 coolant ad‐

ditive G 12 plus according to TL VW 774 F and G 12 plus-plus
according to TL VW 774 G can be used.
♦ The coolant additive G 12 plus-plus can be mixed with the
previous coolant additive G 12 plus. Identification: both are
coloured purple.
♦ Coolant additives marked „according to TL VW 774 G“ or „ac‐
cording to TL VW 774 F“ prevent frost and corrosion damage,
scaling and also raise boiling point of coolant. Therefore, the
cooling system must be filled all year round with coolant ad‐
ditive.
♦ Because of its higher boiling point, the coolant improves en‐
gine reliability under heavy loads, particularly in countries with
tropical climates.
♦ Frost protection is required down to about -25°C (in countries
with arctic climates: down to about -35°C).
♦ The coolant concentration must not be reduced by adding wa‐
ter even in warmer seasons and in warmer countries. The
coolant additive concentration must be at least 40%.
♦ If for climatic reasons greater frost protection is required, the
amount of coolant additive can be increased, but only up to 60
% (frost protection to about -40 °C). Otherwise frost protection
and cooling effectiveness are reduced again.
♦ The refractometer -T10007- is recommended for determining
the current anti-freeze concentration.
♦ If radiator, heat exchanger, cylinder head or cylinder head
gasket is renewed, do not reuse old coolant.
Recommended mixture ratios:

Frost pro‐ Anti-freeze G 121) Water1)
tection quantity
to
-25 °C 40 % 3.0 l 4.0 l
-35 °C 50 % 3.5 l 3.5 l

WARNING

tions:
sitions.
hot components.
When removing and installing the fuel gauge sender from a full or
partly full fuel tank the following must be observed:
♦ Even before work commences, the extraction hose of an ac‐
tivated fume extraction system has to be placed in the vicinity
of the assembly opening of the fuel tank to extract any escap‐
ing fumes. If no exhaust gas extraction system is available, a
radial fan with a displacement greater than 15 m3/h can be
used providing that motor is not in air flow.
♦ Prevent skin contact with fuel! Wear fuel-resistant gloves!
1.2 Rules for cleanliness

When working on the fuel supply and injection system, pay careful
attention to the following „6 rules“ for cleanliness:
♦ Thoroughly clean all connections and surrounding areas be‐
fore disconnecting.
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover. Use only
lint-free cloths.
♦ Carefully cover opened components or seal if repairs cannot
be carried out immediately.
♦ Install clean components only. Do not remove replacement
parts from packing until immediately before installing. Do not
1. Parts of fuel supply system 101

use parts that have not been stored in their packing (e.g. in
tool boxes etc.).
♦ When system is open: do not work with compressed air if this
can be avoided. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely nec‐
essary.
♦ Also ensure that no diesel fuel comes into contact with the
coolant hoses. Should this occur, the hoses must be cleaned
immediately. Damaged hoses must be renewed.
