Note From 01/2006 engines with engine codes BVX, BVY, BVZ and AXW have a split toothed belt guard. Identification: top part of toothed belt guard has no cover → Item and the toothed belt guard is split in the area of the engine bracket. Removing seal: Vehicles with split toothed belt guard:

–  Remove bolts -arrows- and remove toothed belt guard upwards. –  Loosen tensioning roller and remove toothed belt from camshaft toothed belt pulley. Vehicles without split toothed belt guard –  Remove toothed belt:    Golf without split toothed belt guard (BLR, BLX, BLY, BVX, BVY, BVZ) → Chapter.    Touran without split toothed belt guard (BLR, BLX, BLY, BVX, BVY, BVZ) → Chapter. Continuation for all vehicles:

–  Loosen securing bolt for camshaft pulley and unscrew approx. 10 mm (use counterhold tool -3036-).

–  Pull camshaft sprocket off with two arm puller -T40001-, claw -T40001/6- and claw -T40001/7-. Two arm puller -T40001- is supported on securing bolt -arrow-. –  Remove securing bolt and camshaft pulley.

–  To guide seal extractor, screw adapter -2085/2- into camshaft to stop by hand. –  Screw inner part of oil seal extractor -2085- two turns (approx. 3 mm) out of outer part and lock using knurled screw.

–  Lubricate threaded head of oil seal extractor -2085-, place it in position and, exerting firm pressure, screw it into oil seal as far as possible. –  Loosen knurled screw and turn inner part against camshaft until oil seal is pulled out. Installing seal: –  Remove oil residue from camshaft journal using a clean cloth. –  Tape over groove in taper of camshaft (e.g. with Sellotape). –  Carefully push dry seal onto camshaft journal.

–  Press in oil seal to stop using fitting sleeve -T10071-, thrust piece -T10353- and a washer -arrow-. To do this, use screw -T10071/4-.   Note The thrust piece -T10353- is required for the length compensation of the bolt -T10071/4-. Washers can also be used for this purpose. –  Insert parallel key into camshaft.

–  Install camshaft sprocket. To tighten screw, hold camshaft using counterhold tool -3036-. Specified torque → Chapter.   Note t  When turning the camshaft, the pistons must not be at TDC. This could otherwise result in damage to valves and pistons. t  Ensure the parallel key is correctly seated. Vehicles with split toothed belt guard: To install the toothed belt, fit support bracket -10-222A- and remove engine bracket and lower toothed belt guard. Continuation for all vehicles: –  Install toothed belt:    Engine code AXW → Chapter    Golf without split toothed belt guard (BLR, BLX, BLY, BVX, BVY, BVZ) → Chapter.    Touran without split toothed belt guard (BLR, BLX, BLY, BVX, BVY, BVZ) → Chapter.    Golf with split toothed belt guard (BVX, BVY, BVZ) → Chapter    Touran with split toothed belt guard (BVX, BVY, BVZ) → Chapter –  Install poly V-belt → Chapter. Further assembly is basically the reverse of the dismantling procedure.
