The lateral stop of the instrument must rest on the side
Press pushbutton to apply uniform pressure in perpendicular direction on top of V-belt until the detent spring can be heard (or felt) to disengage. After the detent spring has disengaged, the measuring instrument or the pushbutton, respectively, must not be pressed anymore as the reading will otherwise be incorrect.
Lift measuring instrument carefully off the V-belt.
Caution:
Do not push against instrument when lifting off the instrument as sudden impacts may alter the position of the pointer and may give a faulty reading. Read off measurement (tensioning value) at the point of intersection of the pointer with the upper scale (KG


Checking and/or adjusting alternator and fan wheel drive belt Caution: Make sure the ignition key is pulled off whenever measurements are made.
Checking used drive belts:
Use belt tension measuring instrument (Special Tool 9574) to check tension.
A description of how to use the Special Tool is contained in Repair Group 13, page 13-30.
Retensioning the belt is only required if the belt tension displayed at the measuring instrument is less than 15 scale increments when the engine is cold and less than 20 scale increments when the engine
Retensioning the belt
Retension the belt as described in the General Adjustment Notes section. Before measuring the belt tension, start engine and let engine idle briefly.
Tension:
Cold engine: 15 to 23 scale increments
Engine at operating temperature: 20 to 28 scale increments
When fitting a new belt, be sure to observe the correct assembly sequence in order to avoid any loss of belt tension during vehicle
1. Fit new belt. Adjust tension by inserting or removing shims as required.
Shims are available for belt tensioning in thicknesses of 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm. The 0.7 mm shim is identified by a 2 mm dia.
2. Before measuring the belt tension, start engine once more and run engine at idle
Cold engine: 23 to 35 scale increments
3. Run engine at idle for approx. 15 minutes or test drive vehicle for approx. 10 miles. Check tension again. Specification: 28 to 40 scale increments
Test requirement: Engine at operating tem-
General adjustment notes
Fan wheel and alternator have separate drives.
Note
Rotate engine only at lower belt pulley or by operating the starter. After completing all operations, check to make sure that hexagon head nut has been tightened suffl ciently on alternator shaft.

1 = Alternator drive components
2 = Fan wheel drive components
Adjusting the V-belts
1. Use polygon wrench (999 571 052 02) to lock shaft and undo hexagon head nut. Remove shims and pulley half.
2. If belt tension is below specification, remove one shim from between pulley halves and refit in front of pulley half.
Tighten hexagon head nut to 50 ± 5 Nm.
3. Three additional M 6 screws have to be undone for V-belt and fan wheel.
4. Use only V-belts that have been approved

Precision adjustment
1. Place locking tool 9551 on left camshaft and locking tool 9552 on right camshaft and tighten them. Fit the fit bolts (2 ea.) to the three-hole flange (arrows).
Note
Due to tolerances of the hole pattern of the camshaft housing, the adjustment procedure may differ in some cases:
If the special tools cannot be fitted with 2 fit bolts each, use one fit bolt and one standard M6 bolt to locate them.
In extreme cases (large deviations of the mounting hole pattern on the camshaft housing), standard M6 bolts may be used to locate the special tools. (This will result in slight deviations of the camshaft timing).
Before installing Special Tools 9551 + 9552, check for any burr formation at the 6 H7 holes and at the fit bolts. The fit bolts must be able to rotate in the holes.

17 10 30 Cleaning crankcase (oil
The oil passages in the crankcase are plugged (i.e. closed) with sheetmetal covers during production.
- 1872- 17
If the sheetmetal covers have been removed e.g. to clean the oil passages after bearing damage has occurred, the sheetmetal covers have to be replaced with service aluminum plugs.
Sheetmetal covers have not been released

Replacement aluminium plugs
The following oversize plugs are available for repairs:
0 23 mm, part no. 911 101 185 01 (2 plugs) Plug (B)

Removal
Drill out plug (using a 6.5 mm bit) and tap M8 thread. Pull out plug using a "home-made" extractor consisting of an M8 bolt, spacer ring and washer. Push out the opposite plug, for example using a 10 mm dia. pipe.
Installation
Apply Optimoly HT (copper paste) to plug and press plug in flush.
17 03 01 Checking oil pressure
1. Screw standard oil pressure tester or VW 1342 tester combined with M 10 x 1 fitting and M 14 x 1.5 flange into hole of temperature sender unit in base.

2. Warm up engine to operating temperature (80 °C to 90 °C oil temperature).
Use oil temperature tester (Special Tool 9122 + 9122/2) to check temperature.
3. The oil pressure at idle speed must remain between 2.0 and 2.5 bar. Have a second person raise the engine speed to 2,500 rpm. Read off oil pressure on tester. The reading must be above 5 bar.
4. Fit temperature sender unit with new seal.

1. Apply a thin coat of Optimoly HT (copper paste) to the stud threads.
2. Fit cylinder heads.
3. Apply a thin coat of Optimoly HT to the cylinder head nuts and tighten them as follows:

Each time valve seats or valves are machined, the lift of the valve lifters must always
The following parts are needed for the test
1 intake rocker arm 1 exhaust rocker arm
(the valve lifters must be free from oil; clean them in petroleum spirit)
Note: These parts should only be used for checking valves and lifters and must therefore be appropriately marked and stored separate-
original rocker arm shafts fastening screws dial gauge mount (VW 387) dial gauge
Measurement
Set piston to TDC, at which point the valves are closed. If the timing chain is not installed, turn the camshaft until the rocker arms are within the circle of the cam.
2. Push rocker arm by hand and read valve lift
The lift must be at least 0.2 mm on the in-
take rocker é haust rocker arm
If the valve lift measured is lower than the figure specified, a special, shorter replacement valve lifter must be installed.
Replacement valve lifters are available in
Size 1: 0.5 mm shorter
Part No. 993 105 141 50
Size 2.1.0 mm shorter
Part No. 993 105 141 60
Caution:
The lift must not exceed
1.85 mm on the intake rocker arm
2.25 mm on the exhaust rocker arm!
15 75 02 Checking valve guides
1. Clean valve guides thoroughly
2. Use a new valve to measure the tilting play
3. Fit dial gauge holder VW 387 to cylinder head. The dial gauge must be aligned parallel to the valve head.
- 1763-15
4. The tilting play is measured at a valve lift of 10 mm (clearance from valve head to valve seat).
Wear limit for inlet guide = 0.80 mm exhaust guide = 0.80 mm
