Valve Guide Seal: Service and Repair
Valve Stem Seals
(With the cylinder head installed)
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Spark Plug Removal Tool (3122 B)
• Valve Seal Removal Tool (3364)
• Valve Stem Seal Driver (3365)
• Adapter (T40012)
• Torque Wrench (5-50 Nm) (V.A.G 1331)
• Valve Cotters Asm/Disasm Device (VAS 5161)
• Guide Plate for FSI Engine (VAS 5161/19B)
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:
• Jetta from MY 11, refer to => [ Draining and Filling ] Procedures.
