PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BULLETIN BEFORE CONTINUING WITH YOUR TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BULLETIN BEFORE CONTINUING WITH YOUR TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT Bulletin: Prevent Premature Water Pump Failure! BLAUfergnugen! Inc. recommends that an Audi Vw Factory Trained ASE Certified Technician install your parts to ensure your safety. Always read the factory service manual safety instructions and guidelines. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND OTHER SAFETY ITEMS WHEN PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING WORK! Installers Responsibility: Blauparts recommends that installers take the necessary time to thoroughly follow the steps outlined in this bulletin to prevent future labor costs, as well as any inconvenience after the installation of the water pump included in this timing belt kit. It has been noted that due to time constraints, inconvenience, and profit, many individuals and mechanics alike, do not take the extra time needed to thoroughly flush the entire vehicle cooling system prior to the installation of the new water pump. Just draining the cooling system and refilling the system is not enough! Premature water pump failure (water pump seals and bearings) can occur because of failing to take the time to flush the entire cooling system and its related components. Often when problems arise, such as a coolant leak, the new water pump is blamed as the cause when in fact the opposite is true. It is usually because the installer has neglected to follow these steps listed below. Flushing the Cooling System: It is imperative that the cooling system be thoroughly flushed of all accumulated silt and sediment build up, including all aftermarket cooling system additives, or stop leak products that may have been added to the cooling system, past or present. This would entail flushing the radiator, engine block, heater core and hoses etc. Use Only Tap Water to flush the entire cooling system. DO NOT USE Cooling System Flush Products since many contain muriatic and/or other acids. Remnants of such acids left in the cooling system can cause your new water pump to prematurely fail. Water Pump Installation: Take extra time in cleaning the water pump gasket/o-ring mating surfaces. Make sure the surface is free of all old gasket material and corrosion build up before installing your new water pump. It may be necessary to use a light abrasive scuff pad or razor blade. Gasket sealing agents should NOT be used if your water pump includes a paper gasket. If the water pump mounting surface area on the engine block is throughly cleaned, smooth and free from old gasket debris, gasket sealing agents ( Form a Gasket products in gel or spray forms) are not needed. Sealing agents vary in composition and intended usage, and when used in conjunction with paper gaskets may affect the paper gaskets long term ability to compress and/or perform its sealing function. Appropriate gel like gasket sealing agents should only be used in the case of severe pitting of the engine block surface whereby an even and smooth mounting surface for the water pump is not attainable. Double check all water pump mounting bolts for tightness. A loose or missing water pump or thermostat housing bolt can result in a leak and falsely attributing the water pump as defective. Filling the Cooling System: IMPORTANT: Read the Warnings on the antifreeze coolant bottle, improper use is HARMFUL or FATAL. Use only Audi, Vw G-12 antifreeze coolant which was included in your timing belt kit. These bottles contain coolant that is concentrated. You must dilute the coolant. Mix 50% coolant with 50% DEIONIZED WATER. DEIONIZED WATER IS PREFERRED. However, if it is not available use distilled water. DO NOT MIX TAP WATER with new coolant if at all possible. Tap water varies in Ph and mineral content and depending on these factors, can adversely effect your new water pump and other cooling system components. Water Pump Break in Period: All water pumps are inspected and air pressure tested at the factory for any leaks. However, new water pumps do have a break in period. It is not uncommon for a new water pump to have some seepage of coolant from the discharge hole below the water pump pulley shortly after start up. This is because the unique seal material in the new water pump is designed to bed in as the impeller shaft spins. Slight weeping or dampness from or around the discharge hole or cap is allowable for at least 100 miles after installation and should not be attributed as a defective water pump. Maintenance: Mixing other brands of unauthorized antifreeze coolants with the approved G-12 antifreeze coolant included in your new timing belt kit can also cause an adverse chemical reaction to G-12 coolant, causing the coolant to gel and clot. This can damage the new water pump, plug the cooling system, and weaken other plastic cooling system components such as, the radiator and plastic coolant hose connections. Environment: Be environmentally responsible. Dispose of the old anti freeze coolant properly. Page 1 Copyright BLAUfergnügen! Inc. 2012 9/14/12 Form # Ins 165/145

Guidelines For Installation Of Your Audi 1.8T AEB, ATW Timing Belt Kit continued... 27) Install the new tensioner pulley and torque to 18 ft lbs. 28) Install the new timing belt. When installing the new timing belt, start by going around the lower crank and work your way up to the camshaft sprocket. On models with AEB engine code, you may see that the timing marks will appear as if your timing is off by one tooth. This is normal, but it is important that you set your belt in place such that the timing is set slightly retarded. Visually, the camshaft pulley marks should appear slightly rotated towards the drivers side. This will allow for any belt stretch. 29) After the new belt has been installed, you will want to re-check the timing marks on the camshaft and the crankshaft If these are not aligned you will need to realign as necessary. 30) With all the timing marks properly lined up, you can proceed to tension the timing belt. To do this, remove the pin from the new hydraulic tensioner damper and rotate the engine with a socket on the front crank 2 full revolutions in a clockwise direction. This allows the hydraulic tensioner damper to set proper tension on the belt. After rotation, recheck your timing marks. While rotating, at no time should any abrupt resistance be felt from interference by internal engine components. 31) Reinstall the lower timing belt cover and torque to 7 ft lbs. You may choose to apply a locking thread compound to these bolts. 32) Reinstall the lower serpentine belt crank pulley. Torque Spec 7 ft lbs + 1/4 turn. (Image 6) 33) Reinstall viscous fan and torque to 30 ft lbs. 34) Reinstall water pump pulley and all ribbed belt tensioners. You may consider installing the water pump V-belt along with the pulley to ease installation. Torque specs: Water pump pulley fasteners - 18 ft lbs. A/C belt tensioner - 15 ft lbs. Ribbed belt tensioner - 18 ft lbs. 35) Install all accessory belts. 36) Locate any components removed not specifically addressed in this guideline and re-install. 37) Review each step found in this set of guidelines to ensure each component has been addressed properly and has been re-fastened to specifications. Cooling System Filling: 38) Loosen the clamp on the coolant hose that runs up to the heater core. Pull the hose back until the small bleeder hole located near the end of the hose is no longer sealed as can be seen in Image 13. 39) Slowly fill the coolant expansion tank with a 50/50 mixture of coolant and water until it flows from the bleeder hole in the above heater core hose. 40) Push the heater hose back into place and re-affix clamp. 41) Top off coolant level to the maximum level mark of the expansion tank and install the expansion tank cap. 42) Start the engine and increase engine speed to around 2-3K for 3-5 min. 43) Allow engine to idle until the lower coolant hose on the radiator is hot. 44) Turn off engine. 45 When engine has cooled re-check coolant level and add as needed. 46) Check for coolant leaks. AEB Engine Code This parts bulletin applies to all hydraulic tensioner dampers Image 13 IMPORTANT!!!! If your timing belt tension was not properly applied or if you need to release your timing belt tension you will need to reset or compress the hydraulic tensioner damper. To avoid premature damage or failure of your hydraulic tensioner damper and tensioner pulley please continue as follows. 1) Avoid a OVERABUNDANT amount of pressure when compressing the hydraulic tensioner damper. 2) Compress the hydraulic tensioner damper in a slow manner taking in upwards of 2-5 minutes to do so. 3) Always compress the hydraulic tensioner damper on the vehicle as outlined by your factory bentley manual 3) Install locking pin or locking plate when in compressed position. 4) Set timing belt tension and timing of engine as outlined in your corresponding instruction form. (Failure to comply with these steps will damage your hydraulic tensioner damper and or pulley.) (Failure to heed this bulletin can cause the timing belt to skip a tooth and catastrophic engine damage) Page 4 Copyright BLAUfergnügen! Inc. 2006 Form # Ins145
