Product Usage Instructions

1. Before using the timing tool kit, follow all general precautionary preparation work.
2. If removing the timing chain, it is necessary to remove the timing chain cover and sump.
3. Camshaft Locking Tool (Component A) : This tool is used on the 1.2 FSi engines (CBZA and CBZB). To use it:
   • Remove the hose connecting block from the rear of the cylinder head (gearbox end) to gain access to the grooved end of the camshaft.
   • Fit Component A (C574) as shown in the manual. Ensure the fixing bolt can be fitted.
4. Dial Test Indicator (Component B) : Top Dead Centre (TDC) measurement must be checked using a Dial Test Indicator. This set includes TDC Adaptor which enables accurate measurement of thepiston position.
5. TDC Indicator (Component C) : This indicator is fitted into the first cylinder spark plug hole. The extension makes contact with the piston face. As the engine is slowly rotated, the DTI indicates the TDC or the highest point required.
6. Camshaft Alignment Tool (Component D) : If the Camshaft Alignment tool cannot be fitted, it indicates incorrect valve timing.
7. Camshaft Tensioner Pin (Component E) : Fit the tensioner locking pin to hold the chain tensioner back. This allows for theremoval of the camshaft sprockets and chain. Set the camshaft  positions and align using the Camshaft Alignment Tool.

Introduction

Designed to offer an engine timing kit for the 1.2, 1.4 & 1.6 petrol engines found across the Volkswagen Audi Group range from 2003 to 2017. The 5742 kit includes the Dial Test Indicator and adaptor required to accurately find TDC on the engines listed.

• Applications: 1.2 FSI/TFSI, 1.4, 1.6 FSI, 1.4 TSI.

Applications

Instructions

Follow all general precautionary preparation work, and then if removing the timing chain it is necessary to remove the timing chain cover and sump.

• A Camshaft Locking Tool
  Component A is the camshaft locking tool used on the 1.2 FSi engines (CBZA and CBZB).
  To gain access to the grooved end of the camshaft remove the hose connecting block from the rear of the cylinder head (gearbox end).
  Fit C574 as shown. Ensure fixing bolt can be fitted.

• B Dial Test Indicator
  Top Dead Centre (TDC) measurement must be checked, this set includes TDC Adaptor (used in conjunction with a Dial Test Indicator) which enables the accurate measurement of the piston position.

• C TDC Indicator
  The Indicator is fitted into the first cylinder spark plug hole. The extension makes contact with the piston face and as the engine is slowly rotated the DTI indicates the TDC, or the highest point required.

• Many performance engines have an interference combustion area, which if the correct timing position is not achieved could result in serious damage to the valves and other parts of the engine.

• D Camshaft Alignment Tool
  If the Camshaft Timing Marks are not correctly aligned with the engine set at TDC, turn the Crankshaft 360° and check the Camshaft timing mark again. Fit the Camshaft Alignment Tool.
  If the Camshaft Alignment tool can still not be fitted the valve timing is incorrect.

• E Camshaft Tensioner Pin
  Fit the tensioner locking pin to hold the chain tensioner back, allowing the removal of the camshaft sprockets and chain.
  Set the camshaft positions and align using the Camshaft Alignment Tool.

• F Crankshaft Locking Pin
  Use the Crankshaft Locking tool when loosening and tightening the crank.

• G Guide Pins (2)
  The two guide pins hold the supercharger in the correct position during installation.
  Re-install the sprockets and chain and correctly tighten the sprockets.
  It is advised to use new crankshaft pulley and camshaft sprocket bolts.
  Remove the Camshaft Alignment Tool and turn the Crankshaft twice in a clockwise direction.
  Check the valve timing again.

Warning
Incorrect or out of phase engine timing can result in damage to the valves.
The Tool Connection cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by using these tools in anyway.

Safety Precautions – Please read

• Disconnect the battery earth leads (check radio code is available).
• Remove spark or glow plugs to make the engine turn easier.
• Do not use cleaning fluids on belts, sprockets or rollers.
• Always make a note of the route of the auxiliary drive belt before removal.
• Turn the engine in the normal direction (clockwise unless stated otherwise).
• Do not turn the camshaft, crankshaft or diesel injection pump once the timing chain/belt has been removed (unless specifically stated).
• Do not use the timing chain to lock the engine when slackening or tightening crankshaft pulley bolts.
• Mark the direction of the chain before removing.
• Crankshafts and camshafts may only be turned with the chain drive mechanism fully installed.
• Do not turn crankshaft via camshaft or other gears
• Check the diesel injection pump timing after replacing the chain.
• Observe all tightening torques.
• Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual or a suitable proprietary instruction book.
• It is always recommended to turn the engine slowly, by hand, and to re-check the camshaft and crankshaft timing positions.
