Tightening Specifications
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Volkswagen Jetta, 2017 Volkswagen Jetta, 2016 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2015 Volkswagen Jetta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Always replace the intermediate sprocket. Otherwise the backlash will not adjust itself and it could result in engine damage.
The new intermediate sprocket has an anti-friction coating that wears off after a short period of use, which automatically adjusts the backlash.
-- Tighten with a new bolt as follows:
| Step | Bolts | Tightening Specification/Additional Turn |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | -1- | 10 Nm |
| 2. | -1- | The intermediate sprocket must not have any play. Loosen and tighten it again if necessary. |
| 3. | -1- | 25 Nm |
| 4. | -1- | Turn an additional 90°. |
