Removing

To remove the valve stem seals, the following components must be removed as follows:

Intake valves cylinder 1: Transport strap

Intake valves cylinder 5: Camshaft adjustment valve 1 (N205)

Exhaust valves cylinder 5: Secondary air injection solenoid valve (N112)

- Remove the camshafts. Refer to => [ Camshafts ] Service and Repair.

- Remove the roller rocker arm and lay them on a clean surface. Make sure that the rocker arms are not interchanged.

- Remove the spark plugs using the spark plug removal tool (3122 B).

- Install the guide plate for FSI engine (VAS 5161/19B) using the knurled thumb screws M6 (VAS 5161/12) to the cylinder head as shown.






- Adjust the piston of the respective cylinder to Bottom Dead Center (BDC).

- Install the adapter (T40012) into the spark plug hole and connect the compressed air (minimum 6 bar).

- Loosen any stuck valve retainers using the punch (VAS 5161/3) and a plastic mallet.






- Install the retainer (VAS 5161/6) with the guide forks M6/M8 with threaded studs (VAS 5161/5) into the guide plate for FSI engine (VAS 5161/19B).






- Insert the assembly cartridge (VAS 5161/8) into the guide plate for FSI engine (VAS 5161/19B).

- Engage the pressure fork with lever for assembly cartridge (VAS 5161/2) on the retainer (VAS 5161/6).

The pressure fork with lever for assembly cartridge (VAS 5161/2) must engage on the exhaust side as illustrated.






- Press down the assembly cartridge (VAS 5161/8). At the same time, turn knurled bolt on the assembly cartridge (VAS 5161/8) clockwise until the points engage in the valve retainers.

- Lightly move the knurled bolt on the assembly cartridge back and forth, this causes the valve retainers to be pressed apart and captured in the cartridge.

- Release the pressure fork with lever for assembly cartridge (VAS 5161/2).

- Remove the assembly cartridge (VAS 5161/8) , valve spring retainers and valve springs.

- Remove the valve stem seal using the valve seal removal tool (3364).






- In the event the valve seal removal tool (3364) cannot be used due to space constraints, drive the out pin - arrow - using a drift and remove the impact device.






- Place the lower part of the valve seal removal tool (3364) onto the valve stem seal.






- Insert a drift - 1 - into the bore in the lower part of the valve seal removal tool.

- Using the drive - 1 - as a lever, pull out the valve stem seal - arrow -.

Installing

- Place the plastic sleeve - A - on the valve stem to prevent damage to the new valve stem seal - B -.






- Lubricate the sealing lip of the valve stem seal - B -, insert it into the valve stem seal driver (3365) and carefully slide it onto the valve guide.

- Remove the plastic sleeve - A -.

- Insert the valve spring and valve spring retainers.

- Install the valve cotters asm/disasm device (VAS 5161) components as shown.

Intake Side





Exhaust Side





If the valve retainers were removed from the assembly cartridge, they must be inserted into the valve insertion device (VAS 5161/18) next.






Press the assembly cartridge (VAS 5161/8) onto the valve insertion device from above and take up the valve retainers.

- Press down the assembly cartridge (VAS 5161/8) using the pressure fork with lever for assembly cartridge (VAS 5161/2) , knock lightly against the assembly cartridge in the lower area, rotate the knurled bolt on the assembly cartridge back and forth and pull upward while doing this.

- Release the pressure fork with lever for assembly cartridge (VAS 5161/2) with the knurled bolt pulled.

- Remove the valve cotters asm/disasm device (VAS 5161) components.

The rest of the installation follows the reverse of the removal procedures. When doing this note the following:

- Remove the locking pin (T40069) from the rear of the cylinder block and install the locking bolt.

- Fill the coolant. Refer to the following:
