When draining or replacing fluid in a transmission, if it is an automatic there is always residual fluid in the torque converter. In most cases, you will put in a quart of the proper transmission fluid so you do not burn out the pump. Then you will want to check it and periodically ad until full on the dipstick when the engine is hot and in park or neutral. When changing the fluid, it is always a good idea to change the filter also. In most cases, you will need to drop the pan to do this. So make sure you get a new gasket and filter as this is a good idea Also. Do not run the engine without sufficient fluid to prime the hydraulic pump and the transmission. Then just add to the correct level. Please excuse any spellcheck errors due to this phone. I am sure you will get the point.
both marks need to line up or you'll be off timing. You can double check the timing marks by pulling the rubber plug on the transmission and seeing the tdc marks on the flywheel. Good luck and I hope this helps
Hi Oupa there are special tools required to lock crank and cam shafts in position. It is imperative that they are used to prevent engine failure. Regards Jim...
THESE ARE THE TOOLS U NEED TO HAVE AND PROCEDURE!!GOOD LUCK AND BEWARE THE TIMING..REPLACE BOTH CHAIN AND TENTIONER!!!!!!
Special tools and workshop equipment required
t Dial gauge -VAS 6079-
t Puller -T10094 A-
t Dial gauge adapter -T10170-
t Camshaft clamp -T10171-
t Counterhold tool -T10172-
t Locking pin -T40011-
t Spark plug spanner -3122 B-
t Counterhold tool -3415-
t Torque wrench (5...50 Nm) -V.A.G 1331-
Procedure
- Remove valve timing housing > Chapter.
- To turn crankshaft, reinstall bearing bush, crankshaft pulley -2- and crankshaft bolt -3- and securely tighten crankshaft bolt (use counterhold 3415).
- Remove spark plug from No. 1 cylinder. Use puller -T10094 A- and spark plug wrench 3122 B.
- Screw dial gauge adapter -T10170- into spark plug hole to stop.
- Screw dial gauge -VAS 6079- and extension -T10170/1- in to stop and lock in position with lock nut -arrow-.
- Turn crankshaft in direction of engine rotation, to TDC No. 1 cylinder. Note position of small needle on dial gauge.
- Then turn crankshaft back 45° opposite direction of engine rotation.
- Press tensioning guide rail -1- in direction of arrow and lock piston with locking pin -T40011-.
- Mark direction of rotation of timing chain -3- using felt-tip marker.
- Remove bolts -2- and remove camshaft sprocket -1- with timing chain -3-. Counterhold using counterhold tool -T10172-.
- Renew bolts -2-. Tighten bolt -2- to 50 Nm (use counterhold -T10172-).
- Turn inlet and exhaust camshafts until camshaft clamp -T10171- can be pushed into holes in camshaft to stop.
Locking pins -arrows 1- must engage in holes -arrows 2-. Inscription "TOP"-arrow 3- must be readable from above.
Note
Camshafts must not be pushed axially whilst turning.
- Install a M6 bolt -arrow- hand-tight (do not tighten) to secure camshaft clamp -T10171-.
- Remove camshaft sprocket bolts. It is absolutely necessary to use counterhold tool -T10172- for this.
Note
Camshaft clamp -T10171- must not be used as a counterhold tool.
- Remove one camshaft sprocket.
- Place timing chain over camshaft sprockets, observing chain direction of rotation, and install camshaft sprocket again.
- Tighten camshaft bolts until camshaft sprockets can still just be turned on camshafts.
- Tension timing chain by removing locking pin -T40011-.
- Turn crankshaft in engine direction of rotation to TDC No. 1 cylinder. Permissible deviation from TDC No. 1 cylinder: ±0.01 mm.
Note
If crankshaft is turned more than 0.01 mm past TDC, then turn crankshaft back 45° against engine direction of rotation. Then turn crankshaft in direction of engine rotation to TDC No. 1 cylinder.
- Hold camshaft sprockets -1- and -4- in this position with counterhold -T10172- then tighten bolts -2- to 50 Nm.
Note
Crankshaft must not move and timing chain -3- must remain tensioned on both sides when tightening camshaft bolts.
- Remove camshaft clamp -T10171-.
- Turn crankshaft two rotations in direction of engine rotation to TDC No. 1 cylinder. Permissible deviation from TDC No. 1 cylinder: ±0.01 mm.
- Insert camshaft clamp -T10171- to stop in camshaft openings.
If camshaft clamp -T10171- cannot be fitted
- Repeat adjustment.
If camshaft clamp -T10171- can be fitted
- Remove camshaft clamp -T10171-, hold camshaft sprockets with counterhold tool -T10172- and tighten bolts -2- a 1/4 turn (90°) further with a rigid wrench.
Note
Camshaft sprockets must not move on camshaft whilst tightening.
- Turn crankshaft two rotations again, in engine direction of rotation, to TDC No. 1 cylinder. Permissible deviation from TDC No. 1 cylinder: ±0.01 mm.
- Insert camshaft clamp -T10171- to stop in camshaft openings.
If camshaft clamp -T10171- cannot be fitted
- Repeat adjustment.
Further assembly is basically the reverse of the dismantling procedure. In the process, note the following:
t Installing valve timing housing > Chapter.
t Installing poly V-belt > Chapter.
t Renew oil seals for camshaft sealing cover and oil them before fitting.
Unfortunately you will not be able to decode the color of the car from the VIN number. You will need to locate the trim tag, it will have all of the information as far as interior, exterior color and suspension options. ect.
I'm not familiar with that model, but the problem could be the temp sensor or relay. The pcm should read the sensor and turn on the relay when the temp exceeds normal. You can proble the relay socket to see if the pcm is trying to turn the relay on. See tips at link below.
Do It Yourself Diagnosis and Repair
This will likely take a diagnosis by a professional mechanic. The problem has about 4 different possible causes and I can't eliminated them for you. 1. The hydraulic pump might have not been installed correctly. 2. Your transmission fluid might be low. 3. The transmission might have been damaged before or during the pump replacement. 4. The solenoid pack that regulates the flow of fluid in the valve body might be faulty causing the transmission to malfunction. I am sorry to tell you that Volks wagons are expensive to work upon. I will mention that in another brand of Japanese car, a bad interlocking solenoid could be bypassed by pressing a button or jamming a wire in it to keep it depressed and the car would shift gears then. A mechanic might say the assembly might have to be fixed when only the solenoid had to be replaced. But as some of the potential causes are likely to ruffle a mechanic, depending if stay with the one that changed the pump, I don't want to "stir" trouble and my last comment may be totally useless. Sadly, you will have to make use of a professional mechanic experienced with Volkswagons. This is going to sting and I am truly sorry for your predicament. You never know your luck. Maybe it is low transmission fluid.
