- Valve Seal Removal Tool -3364-
- Valve Stem Seal Driver -3365-
- Adapter -T40012-
- Torque Wrench (5-50 Nm) -V.A.G 1331-

Removing
-- Remove the camshafts. Refer to CAMSHAFTS .
-- Remove the roller rocker arms and lay them on a clean surface. Make sure that the roller rocker arms are not interchanged.
-- Remove the spark plugs using the spark plug removal tool -3122 B-.
-- Install the guide plate for FSI engine -VAS 5161/19- using the knurled thumb screws M6 -VAS 5161/12- to the cylinder head as shown.
-- Adjust the piston of the respective cylinder to Bottom Dead Center (BDC).
-- Install the adapter -T40012- into the spark plug threads and connect the compressed air (minimum 6 bar).
-- Loosen any stuck valve retainers using the punch -VAS 5161/3- and a plastic mallet.
-- Install the retainer -VAS 5161/6- with the guide forks M6/M8 with threaded studs -VAS 5161/5- into the guide plate for FSI engine -VAS 5161/19-.
-- Insert assembly cartridge -VAS 5161/8- into the guide plate for FSI engine -VAS 5161/19-.
-- Engage the pressure fork with lever for assembly cartridge -VAS 5161/2- on the retainer -VAS 5161/6-.
The pressure fork with lever for assembly cartridge -VAS 5161/2- must engage on the exhaust side as illustrated.
-- Press down the assembly cartridge -VAS 5161/8-. At the same time, turn the knurled thumb screw of the assembly cartridge -VAS 5161/8- clockwise until the points engage in the valve retainers.
-- Lightly move the knurled thumb screw back and forth, this causes the valve retainers to be pressed apart and captured in the assembly cartridge.
-- Release the pressure fork with lever for assembly cartridge -VAS 5161/2-.
-- Take out the assembly cartridge -VAS 5161/8-.
-- Remove the valve stem seal using the valve seal removal tool -3364-.
-- If the valve seal removal tool -3364- cannot be used due to restricted clearance, drive the roll pin -arrow- out using a drift and remove the impact attachment.
-- Position the lower part of the valve seal removal tool -3364- onto the valve stem seal.
-- Insert a drift -1- into the bore in the lower part of the valve seal removal tool -3364-.
-- Using the drift -1- as a lever, pull out the valve stem seal in the -direction of the arrow-.
Installing
-- Place the plastic sleeve -A- on the valve stem to prevent damage to the new valve stem seal -B-.
-- Lubricate the sealing lip of the valve stem seal -B-, insert it into the valve stem seal driver -3365- and carefully slide it onto the valve guide.
-- Remove the plastic sleeve -A-.
-- Insert the valve spring and valve spring retainer.
-- Install the valve cotters asm/disasm device -VAS 5161- components as shown.
If the valve retainers were removed from the assembly cartridge, they must be inserted into the valve insertion device -VAS 5161/18- next.
Press the assembly cartridge -VAS 5161/8- onto the insertion device from above and take up the valve retainers.
-- Press down the assembly cartridge -VAS 5161/8- with the pressure fork with lever for assembly cartridge -VAS 5161/2- and turn the knurled thumb screw on the assembly cartridge back and forth while pulling it upward at the same time.
-- Release the pressure fork with lever for assembly cartridge -VAS 5161/2- with the knurled thumb screw pulled.
-- Remove the valve cotters asm/disasm device -VAS 5161- components.
Further installation is in reverse order of removal.
-- Install the camshafts. Refer to CAMSHAFTS .
