Previously published service information regarding camshaft sprocket bolt torque specifications for the 1.8L Volkswagen/ Audi 1.8L AEB engines may have incorrectly listed the torque value at 74 ft.lbs.
The correct torque value for the camshaft sprocket bolt is 48 ft.lbs. (65 Nm).These cylinder heads are beginning to be seen in machine shops because many miles have accumulated since they were new. If the incorrect torque value is used,the result may be engine failure.Even if the bolt does not break after over-torquing, it is possible that all engine valves (20) will bend/break if the head bolts fail while engine is running (Figure 1, left).

1. Locate the oil filter flange on your motor and find the stock oil pressure sender. To access this location fully, certain emissions devices or the intake manifold may need to be removed. Remove the wiring harness from the stock oil pressure sender and move aside. Using a 24mm deep socket, unscrew the sender.
2. Install the included M10×1 adaptor in the stock oil pressure sender port. Start threads by hand and tighten snug using an open end wrench. Do not over tighten this adaptor! Install one end of the 12” extension hose and use an open end wrench to tighten.

The Geniscan GS200 VW/AUDI Code Reader is specially designed to work with most Volkswagen and Audis sold Worldwide of 1990 or newer models. If a VW/AUDI has a 16-pin “OBD-II style” Data Link Connector(DTC), the code reader will certainly work. If it has an old-style 2×2 Data Link Connector(DTC), then it depends on whether there are 4 or 3 wires connecting to the pins. If there are 4 wires, each connecting a pin, then it will work. If there are only 3 wires, leaving one pin disconnected, then it will not work . For VW/AUDIs with old-style 2×2 Data Link Connector(DTC), you need to have a 2×2 cabling adapter which is not included in this product package.

Volkswagen and Audi models, beginning with production year 1988 thru 1995, utilize a system of blink codes for injection, ignition and emissions fault diagnosis. These faults can be easily read with a simple set of tools and this document. The tools needed consist of a simple LED test light (this is not needed if the vehicle is equipped with a CHECK ENGINE light) and a small jumper wire. (Jumper wires are normally sold in pairs. One can be used to construct the test light below if needed.)

These instructions are for the Audi TTand Volkswagen Mark IVchassis vehicles. The photos shown are of an Audi TT. The Volkswagen applications use the same caliper brackets, rotors and hats, and the caliper bodies are identical, so the installations are very similar on all vehicles. The one main difference is the brake lines, which may vary slightly from the photos shown. Also, brake pad wear sensors and ABS line routing may vary. Though the actual fitment may look slightly different, the order in which the kit is installed is the same for all vehicles.

We are writing to inform you of an emissions recall on some 2004-2005 model year Volkswagen Golf, Jetta and New Beetle TDI engine vehicles. Our records show that you are the owner of one of these vehicles.
What Is The Problem?
The EGR cooler on affected vehicles has the potential to develop an internal leak. If this happens, the MIL light may come on, and the vehicle may exceed Federal and/or California emissions standards.
