Replacing Valve-Stem Seals (Cylinder Head Installed)

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE: Engine damage 
  • Risk of damage to valves due to incorrect handling 

    → To prevent the valve from falling into the cylinder, the guide plate and sealing pins must not be unscrewed.

    → Overpressure in the cylinder must be kept at at least 6 bar.

    → Cover passages and openings from the cylinder head into the crankcase.

  1. Prepare guide plate -1-  .
    1. 1.1 Tighten M8 hexagon socket head bolts with a large bolt head diameter -arrow-  (from > VAS 5161A - Removal and Installation Device for Valve Keys  ) on the underside of the > VAS 5161A/38 - Guide plate  (-1-  ).

  2. Turn the crankshaft clockwise using > T40263 - wrench, a/f 21  and special tool > T40314 - adapter  at the pulley until the piston in the relevant cylinder is at the BDC  position.
  3. > VAS 5161A/38 - Guide plate  (-1-  ) must now be secured to the cylinder head.
    1. 3.1 > VAS 5161A/38 - Guide plate  (-1-  ) on the cylinder head must be aligned above the relevant combustion chamber. Observe markings A - Outlet side/E - Intake side  while doing this.
    2. 3.2 Tighten screws -Arrows-  to > Tightening torque 9 Nm (6.5 ftlb.)  .
    3. 3.3 Position punch VAS 5161/3A  (-2-  ) from tool set > VAS 5161A - Removal and Installation Device for Valve Keys  on the valve-spring plate and loosen any tight valve keys by tapping them with a plastic hammer.

  4. Build up overpressure in the relevant combustion chamber.
    1. 4.1 Screw compression stud VAS 5161/10  from tool set > VAS 5161A - Removal and Installation Device for Valve Keys  hand-tight into the > VAS 5161A/38 - Guide plate  .
    2. 4.2 Fit special tool > T40012 - adapter  with sealing ring hand-tight in the guide plate.
    3. 4.3 Connect compressed air to the > T40012 - adapter  .
      1. 4.3.1 Minimum pressure: 6 bar 
  5. Remove valve springs using > VAS 5161A - Removal and Installation Device for Valve Keys  .
    1. 5.1 Screw retainer VAS 5161/6  with guide fork -1-  and M8 threaded bolt VAS 5161/5  into the guide plate > Removing valve keys 
    2. 5.2 Insert assembly cartridge -2- VAS 5161/8A  into the guide plate.
    3. 5.3 Engage pressure fork -3- VAS 5161/2  on the retainer VAS 5161/6. 
    4. 5.4 Press assembly cartridge -2- VAS 5161/8A  down and turn the knurled screw -arrow-  on the assembly cartridge -2- VAS 5161/8A  to the right at the same time until the tips engage in the valve keys.
    5. 5.5 Turn the knurled screw -arrow-  back and forth to press the valve keys apart and engage them in the assembly cartridge -2- VAS 5161/8A  . The knurled screw slips as far as it will go into the assembly cartridge -2-  .

    Removing valve keys

  6. Relieve pressure fork VAS 5161/2  and remove assembly cartridge VAS 5161/8A. 
    1. 6.1 Remove valve keys from the assembly cartridge.
  7. Mark the installation position of the valve springs for the outlet valves for re-installation.
  8. Remove valve springs with valve-spring plates and sort according to installation position for re-installation.
  9. Pull off valve-stem seal to be replaced using the puller > 3364 - Puller  (-1-  ) > Puller 3364 on cylinder head

  10. Installing new valve-stem seal on intake side: 
    1. 10.1 To avoid damaging the new valve-stem seal -4-  during installation, fit the assembly sleeve -3-  on the valve stem -2-  .
    2. 10.2 Lightly oil the sealing lip on the valve-stem seal -4-  .
    3. 10.3 Insert valve-stem seal -4-  into the > 3365 - press-on tool  (-5-  ) and carefully press it over the assembly sleeve -3-  as far as it will go onto the valve guide -1-  .
    4. 10.4 Remove assembly sleeve -3-  .

  11. Installing new valve-stem seal on outlet side: 
    1. 11.1 To avoid damaging the new valve-stem seal -4-  during installation, fit the assembly sleeve -3-  on the valve stem -2-  .
    2. 11.2 Coat sealing lip of the valve-stem seal -4-  with oil.
    3. 11.3 Insert valve-stem seal -4-  into the > T40376/2 - press-on tool  (-5-  ) and carefully press it over the assembly sleeve -3-  as far as it will go onto the valve guide -1-  .

  12. Pick up valve keys with assembly cartridge VAS 5161/8A. 
    1. 12.1 Insert valve keys into the insertion device VAS 5161/18. 
      1. 12.1.1 The large diameter of the valve keys must be facing upwards.
    2. 12.2 Press assembly cartridge VAS 5161/8A  onto the valve keys from above and pick up the valve keys.
  13. Insert valve springs and valve-spring plates in their original position. Observe installation positions.
    1. 13.1 Installation position of valve springs - intake valve:  The closely spaced spring coils are facing down towards the cylinder head.
    2. 13.2 Installation position of valve springs - outlet valve:  The coloured markings must be facing upwards.
  14. Insert assembly cartridge VAS 5161/8A  into the > VAS 5161A/38 - Guide plate  .
