7 Page 7 of Safety precautions WARNING! Be alert when working on or near the engine. High ignition secondary voltage can cause serious personal injury and damage vehicle components. DO NOT touch or disconnect ignition system wires when the engine is running or being cranked at starting RPM. DO NOT operate the starter if the fuel injectors have been removed. Be sure the ignition is switched OFF, when: Disconnecting ignition wires Disconnecting fuel injection system wiring Connecting or disconnecting test equipment leads Disconnecting the battery Washing the engine or engine compartment. BEFORE cranking the engine at starting RPM (such as for compression testing) disable the ignition and fuel injection systems: Disconnect the ignition coil power output stage. Disconnect harness connectors from all fuel injectors.

8 Page 8 of 25 After the work is completed, erase Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory.

9 Page 9 of CAUTION! BEFORE disconnecting the battery: Stop the engine. Be sure the ignition is switched OFF (also applies when connecting the battery). Failure to do so may damage the Engine Control Module (ECM). Be sure of the proper radio code (for vehicles equipped with coded anti-theft radio). Be sure the battery negative (-) cable is disconnected, when: Working on the electrical system Resistance (spot) welding or electric arc welding anywhere on the vehicle. When connecting and disconnecting electrical test equipment (LED voltage tester, multimeter, etc.): Be sure the ignition is switched OFF. Use correct adapters from the VW 1594 connector test kit. For any work affecting the Engine Control Module (ECM): BEFORE disconnecting the ECM harness connector, switch the ignition OFF and WAIT at least 20 seconds. Failure to do so may damage the ECM. DO NOT connect any outside voltage source to stimulate an output signal at the ECM.

11 Page 11 of Distributor, removing and installing Special tools, testers and auxiliary items Pin wrench Matra V159 Note: Torque wrench VAG 1331 (5-50 Nm) The Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) requires the Cyl. 1 TDC signal from the camshaft position sensor in the distributor in order to allocate the fuel injection and knock sensor systems according to the firing order. Checking Cyl.1 Top Dead Center (TDC) markings - Set flywheel -A- or automatic transmission drive plate -B- to align marks for Cyl.1 TDC.

12 Page 12 of Engine removed Set vibration damper (V-belt pulley) to mark for Cyl.1 TDC. Mark on camshaft sprocket must align with arrow on cylinder head cover.

Page 13 of 25 28-10 Mark on distributor housing must align with mark on rotor arm or camshaft position sensor cover.

13 Page 13 of Mark on distributor housing must align with mark on rotor arm or camshaft position sensor cover. Removing Crankshaft and camshaft in Cyl.1 TDC position - Remove distributor. Installing - Align oil pump shaft drive lug parallel to crankshaft.

Page 14 of 25 28-11 - Install distributor. Note: Pins on distributor must point toward mounting bolt threaded hole (arrow).

14 Page 14 of Install distributor. Note: Pins on distributor must point toward mounting bolt threaded hole (arrow). When installing, turn the rotor arm slightly the the right of the distributor marking (clockwise). When inserting the distributor and meshing the drive gears, the rotor arm will turn back toward the marking. Mark on distributor housing must align with mark on rotor arm or camshaft position sensor cover. - Tighten distributor securing bolt. Tightening torque: 25 Nm (18 ft lb) If the markings cannot be aligned correctly: - Loosen toothed drive belt tensioner roller and remove toothed belt from camshaft sprocket.

Page 15 of 25 28-12 - Turn intermediate shaft sprocket with toothed drive belt (in direction of arrows) until rotor arm aligns with markings for Cyl.1 on distributor housing.

15 Page 15 of Turn intermediate shaft sprocket with toothed drive belt (in direction of arrows) until rotor arm aligns with markings for Cyl.1 on distributor housing. (Toothed belt slides over crankshaft sprocket.) Note: Mark on distributor housing must align with mark on rotor arm or camshaft position sensor cover. - Position toothed drive belt onto tensioner roller and camshaft sprocket. For easier installation of the toothed belt, loosen the tensioner roller lock nut by only approx. one thread.

Page 16 of 25 28-13 - Turn tensioner with pin wrench (e.g. Matra V159) in direction of arrow to adjust toothed drive belt tension.

16 Page 16 of Turn tensioner with pin wrench (e.g. Matra V159) in direction of arrow to adjust toothed drive belt tension. It must be just possible to turn the toothed belt through 90 with the thumb and forefinger in the center between camshaft and intermediate shaft sprockets. - Tighten tensioner lock nut. Tightening torque: 45 Nm (33 ft lb) - Rotate crankshaft two full turns and check adjustment. - Check distributor housing and rotor arm markings. - Install upper toothed drive belt cover. - Before installing, clean distributor cap, check for cracks and signs of tracking, and replace if necessary.
