When servicing the timing chain sprocket or removing the vibration damper, be aware that one bolt holds both the vibration damper (harmonic balancer) and the crankshaft timing chain sprocket to the crankshaft. Once the damper is removed, the crankshaft should not be rotated unless special tool spacer T10368 has been installed. The crankshaft timing chain sprocket and spur gear drive on the crankshaft have a coupling that must be seated correctly during assembly. Failure to install special tool spacer T10368 before rotating engine will cause the engine to skip time and bend valves.

Warranty Information (Regularly Scheduled Maintenance Interval Time or Mileage Guidelines): The Volkswagen Customer Experience Team has monitored the claims processed through the Carefree Maintenance (CFM) program from its inception. Their findings reveal that, in many cases, the first maintenance interval service (10K) has been claimed multiple times while subsequent maintenance interval services (20K and 30K), although being performed for the customer, have been submitted erroneously. It is crucial that Volkswagen of America receives accurate claim coding information regarding the Carefree Maintenance (CFM) Program. Accurate claim data enables Volkswagen to assist Dealers to improve their CFM penetration and customer return rates. In addition, it allows VWoA to assess the perceived benefits of the program to our customers. To assist Dealer Service Departments in determining the most appropriate service number and maintenance interval to use, Volkswagen has established the guidelines in this document.
