Hello everyone. I am working on my 2006 Jetta BRM again after a long time not working on it.
I am removing the cylinder head because the engine failed a compression test and leak down test. I currently have an AMC cylinder head on the engine. I am trying to remove the cylinder head but I have run into a small problem. I cannot lift the cylinder head off the engine because it seems to be catching on the plastic guard on the timing belt side of the engine. I have removed the timing belt, timing belt tensioner, the bolt holding the plastic guard to the cylinder head front and back (bolt #19 on page 15A-4 in the Bentley manual)
I do not have VW tool # T10052 so I have not removed the cam hub. I did not think it was necessary when just removing the cylinder head. There is a metal piece behind the cam hub that is catching on the plastic guard and preventing me from lifting the cylinder head straight off.
I cant find any procedure online for removing the cylinder head and it is not covered in the Bentley manual. I ordered the VW dvd-rom from Bentley but I cannot open it because it must be opened on a windows 2000 or window XP operating system only.
Does the cam sprocket hub need to be removed before taking the cylinder head off? Thanks
