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 Robert Bentley 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 165/152

Guidelines For Installation Of Your Audi / Vw 2.0T (FSI) Timing Belt Kit! CAUTION! Performing Work on Your Automobile Without Having Proper Knowledge, Mechanical Ability or the Proper Tools and Safety Equipment, CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH! BLAUfergnugen! Inc. recommends you have an A.S.E. Certified Technician install your parts to ensure your safety. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND OTHER SAFETY ITEMS WHEN PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING WORK The following information is simply a guideline and is not intended to replace the official Bentley Factory Manual. Always refer to the factory manual for proper installation and safety guidelines. Before proceeding with the following guidelines, locate and follow the Bumper Cover Removal section for your specific vehicle as found starting on page 6 of this document. 1) Remove all decorative engine covers, air box intake and the forward engine compartment hood seal. (Image 1) 2) Drain all remaining coolant from the engine block by removing the oil cooler coolant hose located above the oil filter and also the furthest away from the front of the vehicle. 3) Disconnect turbo coolant hose that runs in front of the timing belt cover. There are two ways you can choose to do this. A) You can choose to completely remove the hose and pipe or B) Remove the drivers side end of the hose and pipe and lightly pull it outward just enough to get this timing belt cover off. There will be (1) hose clamp and (2) fasteners one of which is for a mounting bracket and the other is on the turbo.

A) remove upper intercooler hose from throttle body and put off to the side. B) Remove (4) 6mm allan fasteners mounting the alternator. (Image 13) Place alternator off to the side keeping wires connected. C) Remove all hoses from thermostat housing. There will be three total hoses. The lower radiator hose has a pull clip that needs to be pulled upward to release. The other 2 hoses are solid coolant pipes. One is large and has (1) fastener holding this in place. To remove this fastener you will need to pull some engine harness off to the side. The smaller of the 2 pipes has one fastener that is removed with the fastener that is mounting the turbo coolant return pipe. Also the turbo coolant pipe has a second fastener holding it in place. This is located at the top side of the intake manifold. (Image 14 and 15) D) Remove (2) fasteners along with old thermostat housing. Be prepared to use a catch pan for a small amount of fluid left within this manifold even after draining the coolant system. With thermostat housing removed, thoroughly clean out the recessed area where the new thermostat housing mates to the block. Install the new thermostat housing with the same orientation as the old unit and torque housing to 7 ft lbs. 21) Locate any other components removed at this time and install. 22) Install the alternator and torque (4) fasteners to 17 ft lbs. Image 13 Image 14 Image 15 Installation of Tensioners, Water pump and Timing Belt: 23) Clean machined perfectly area where the water pump will mate with engine block.

Make sure the timing belt is evenly around all the tensioners and pulleys. 28) Set timing belt tension by placing hex key into eccentric rotating eccentric clockwise tensioning the timing belt until small notch on tensioner is positioned above tab then release tension from the timing belt. This will allow the timing belt to fully mate to all the tensioners and into the teeth of the cam and crank pulleys. Set timing belt tension by placing hex key into eccentric rotating eccentric clockwise tensioning the timing belt until the small notch on the tensioner is positioned above tab and torque 13mm nut to 17 ft lbs. (Image 18) 29) Rotate engine in clockwise direction 2 full revolutions listening and feeling for any interference. Then re-check the cam and crank timing marks. If timing marks seem to be a tooth off on timing make adjustments where needed. Also check the tensioner tension and make sure the small notch on the tensioner is positioned above tab. If needed r-set tension as outlined in step 28. Image 18 Wrap Up: 30) Turn engine over by hand two full revolutions and verify that there is no interference. By turning the engine over by hand two full revolutions this will allow the hydraulic damper to set the correct timing belt tension. 31) Bring # 1 cylinder of engine to top dead center and verify all timing marks align properly as outlined earlier. 32) Install the lower timing belt cover. Important: Apply Loctite to these fasteners when reinstalling. 33) Install vibration damper and torque fasteners to 15 ft lbs. 34) Locate any components removed not specifically addressed in this guideline and reinstall. 35) Review each step found in this set of guidelines to ensure each component has been addressed properly and has been re-fastenedto specification.
