Notes:
When installing an exchange cylinder head with fitted camshaft, the contact surfaces
between the hydraulic lifters and the cam must be oiled before installing the cylinder
head cover.
The plastic packing pieces for protecting the open valves must not be removed until
immediately before fitting cylinder head.
If the cylinder head is replaced, all the coolant in the system must also be replaced.

Installing
Notes:
There must be no oil or coolant in the cylinder head bolt pockets in the cylinder
head.
Only remove the new cylinder head gasket from its packing immediately before
installing.

Notes:
Valves must not be reworked. Only lapping - in is permitted.

Notes:
Care must be taken when disposing of old sodium filled valves. They must be cut through
in the center of the stem with a hacksaw. When doing this they must be perfectly dry. The
valves prepared in this way can then be thrown into a bucket of water a maximum of ten
at a time. When doing this step back quickly because a sudden chemical reaction causes
the sodium filling to burn. After this treatment, the valves can be put in with the normal
scrap.

Valve seats, reworking


Special tools and equipment
Depth gauge
Valve seat refacing tool
Notes:
When repairing engines with leaking valves, it is not sufficient to replace or replace
valve seats and valves. It is also necessary to check the valve guides for wear. This
particularly important on high mileage engines
Page 15-50 .
The valve seats should only be reworked just enough to produce a perfect seating
pattern. The maximum permissible reworking dimension must be calculated before
reworking commences. If the reworking dimension is exceeded, the function of the
hydraulic tappets can no longer be guaranteed and the cylinder head should be
replaced.
The max. permissible reworking dimension is calculated as follows:
- Insert valve and press firmly against seat.
Notes:
If the valve is to be replaced as part of a repair, use a new valve for the calculation.

Volkswagen New Beetle


1.8 Liter 4-Cyl. 5V Turbo OBD II Engine Mechanical
Valve gear, servicing (Page 15-30)

- Measure distance between end of valve stem and upper edge of cylinder head.
- Calculate max. permissible reworking dimension from measured distance and
minimum dimension.
Minimum dimension:
Outer intake valves: 34.0 mm
Center intake valve: 33.7 mm
Exhaust valve: 34.4 mm
Measured distance minus minimum dimension = max. permissible reworking dimension.
Example:

The max. permissible reworking dimension is shown on illustrations for reworking valve
seats as dimension "b."

Hydraulic lifters, checking


Special tools and equipment
Feeler gauge
Wood or plastic wedge
Notes:
Replace defective lifter complete (cannot be adjusted or repaired).
Irregular valve noises when starting engine are normal.
Test sequence
- Start engine and run until the radiator fan has switched on once.
- Increase engine speed to about 2500 rpm for approx. 2 minutes.
If the hydraulic tappets are still noisy, locate defective tappets as follows:
- Remove cylinder head cover.
- Rotate crankshaft clockwise, until cam of the tappet to be checked is pointing
upward.
- Determine play between cam and hydraulic lifter.

Volkswagen New Beetle


1.8 Liter 4-Cyl. 5V Turbo OBD II Engine Mechanical
Valve gear, servicing (Page 15-41)

- If the play is in excess of 0.2 mm, replace hydraulic lifter. If the play is less than 0.1
mm or no play, proceed with check as follows:

- Push hydraulic lifter down lightly with a wooden or plastic wedge. If when the
hydraulic lifter is pushed down a 0.2 mm thick feeler gauge can be pushed between
the camshaft and hydraulic lifter, the hydraulic lifter is to be replaced.
Notes:
After installing new tappets the engine must not be started for approx. 30 minutes.
Hydraulic compensation elements must settle (otherwise valves will strike pistons).

Notes:
After installing new tappets the engine must not be started for approx. 30 minutes.
Hydraulic compensation elements must settle (otherwise valves will strike pistons).

Test sequence

- Insert new valve into guide until end of valve stem is flush with end of guide. Due to
the slight difference in stem dimensions, ensure that only an intake valve is used in
the inlet guide and an exhaust valve in the exhaust guide.
- Determine rock wear limit: 0.8 mm

Valve guides, replacing

Special tools and equipment


Press tool VW 411
Drift 3360
Support 3361
Hand reamer 3363 and cutting fluid
Removing
- First check whether the valve seat insert rings and if necessary the cylinder head
sealing surface can be reworked. If this is not the case, then the valve guide should
not be replaced.

First set the support as follows:


- Fit mounting pins for cylinder head bolt holes - A - into threaded hole positions 2 and
3.
- Fit pin - B - into relevant hole for valve angle.
Outer intake valves: 21.5 -5
Center intake valve: 15 -5
Exhaust valve: 20 -5

- Press the worn valve guides out with drift 3360 from the camshaft side.
Installing
When the shoulder on guide makes contact, the pressure must not exceed 10 kN (approx.
1.0 t) otherwise shoulder may break off.
- Coat the new valve guides with oil and press with drift 3360 into cold cylinder head
from the camshaft side until the shoulder makes contact.
- Ream guides out with hand reamer 3363 using plenty of cutting fluid.
- Rework valve seats

Removing
- Remove camshafts
Page 15-42 .
- Remove the hydraulic lifters and place them with the contact surface downward.
When doing this ensure that the tappets are not interchanged.
- Remove spark plugs with spark plug spanner 3122B.
- Set piston of appropriate cylinder to "bottom dead center".
- Screw pressure hose VW 653/3 into the spark plug thread.

- Mount fitting tool 3362 on cylinder head with fitting tool securing bolts.
- Position fitting tool for compressing valve springs to one of the following positions
outer intake valves: lower position, center intake valve: upper position, exhaust
valve: lower position.

- Connect pressure hose to compressed air system supplying at least 6 bar and
remove valve springs.

- Pull off valve stem seals with 3364.


Installing

- Place the plastic sleeve supplied on the appropriate valve stem. This will prevent the
new valve stem seal being damaged.
- Place new valve stem seal in fitting tool 3365.
- Oil valve stem seal sealing lip and press carefully onto the valve guide.
