Overview - VALVETRAIN

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Risk of damaging valves and piston heads after working on valve train.
  • The motor must not be started for about 30 minutes after installing camshafts because the hydraulic equalization elements must seat themselves.
  • To ensure valves do not strike pistons when starting, carefully rotate the crankshaft at least 2 turns.
