Installing toothed belt
  Note
t  When camshaft is turned, crankshaft must not be at TDC. Danger of damage to valves and piston crowns.
t  The engine must be no more than warm to touch.
t  Specified torques → Chapter.
–  Fit toothed belt on crankshaft pulley (note direction of rotation).
–  Secure toothed belt guard lower part with the two lower bolts.
–  Install belt pulley/vibration damper using new bolts. Specified torque: 20 Nm + turn 90° further.
   
–  Turn crankshaft and camshaft to TDC No. 1 cylinder -arrows-.
  N15-10145
–  Fit toothed belt in the sequence: tensioning roller, camshaft pulley, coolant pump and last onto idler roller -arrow-.
  Note
  N15-10143
Check that tensioning roller is seated correctly in cylinder head.
  N15-10140
–  Tension toothed belt. To do so, turn hexagon key at the eccentric adjuster clockwise (direction of arrow) until the notch is above the indicator (toothed belt over-tensioned).
–  Then release tension on toothed belt.
–  Now tension toothed belt until the notch and the indicator are aligned.
–  Tighten securing nut to 25 Nm.
–  Turn crankshaft two turns in engine direction of rotation until engine is again at TDC. It is important that the last 45° rotation (1/8 turn) is performed without interruption.
–  Check toothed belt tension again. Specification: indicator and notch must align.
  N15-10139
–  Check valve timing again.
If the markings do not align:
–  Repeat valve timing adjustment.
If the markings align:
  N15-10145
–  Install toothed belt guard -arrows-.
–  Install engine support on cylinder block from above and tighten bolts hand-tight.
  Note
t  Note the different bolt lengths. Bolt -3- is about 25 mm shorter than bolts -1 and 2-.
  N15-10146
t  Golf, Eos with engine code BPY and Passat: The bolt -1- can be installed through the hole in wheel housing and tightened.
–  Lower engine with support bracket -10-222A- until lower bolt -3- can be tightened.
–  Tighten all bolts to 45 Nm.
–  Install engine assembly mounting. Specified torques → Chapter.
  N15-10144
–  Tighten bolts for engine assembly mounting and engine bracket hand-tight -arrows-; to do so, bring surfaces into contact using support bracket -10 - 222 A-.
–  Align engine mountings as follows:
  N10-0437
t  There must be a distance -a- of at least 10 mm between engine support and longitudinal member (right side).
t  The side surface of the engine support -2- should be located parallel to the support arm -1-.
–  Tighten bolts for engine assembly mounting and engine bracket. Specified torques → Chapter
–  Remove support bracket -10 - 222 A-.
–  Remove bracket -T10339- and install poly V-belt tensioner.
–  Install poly V-belt → Chapter.
–  Reconnect fuel and breather lines. Ensure that push-on connectors are properly secured.
–  Install coolant expansion tank and check coolant level.
–  Install noise insulation → General body repairs, exterior; Rep. gr.50.
–  Reconnect current supply.
–  Install engine cover/air filter.
