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.

Technical Bulletin (Fuel Additive to Help Prevent Sporadic Misfire Faults): Fuel quality impacts the operating performance, efficiency and service life of the engine. The use of poor quality fuels may result in deposit build up on the fuel injectors and intake valves. This may result in a rough running condition, sporadic misfires, or cold start misfire faults storing in the ECM fault memory. A Volkswagen approved fuel additive is available to help remove and prevent deposits on fuel injectors and intake valves. This document discusses the "Fault Codes" necessary to diagnosis, and potential remedy of the issue. The fault codes for checking warranty coverage for servicing the vehicle are also available.

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.

Tech Tips (Equipped With KESSY ? Key Adaptation Tip): When adapting keys on a vehicle equipped with KESSY, it is recommended to remove the immobilizer reader coil from behind round cover on steering column trim and insert key inside the reader coil. The steering column trim does not need to be completely removed to access reader coil. For vehicles with the Start/Stop button on the steering column, the Start/Stop button assembly can be removed from column trim without disassembling trim. Start/Stop button connector must be disconnected to allow reader coil to be removed from around button assembly. Start/Stop button should be reconnected during key adaptation.

Tech Tips (Equipped With KESSY ? Key Adaptation Tip): When adapting keys on a vehicle equipped with KESSY, it is recommended to remove the immobilizer reader coil from behind round cover on steering column trim and insert key inside the reader coil. The steering column trim does not need to be completely removed to access reader coil. For vehicles with the Start/Stop button on the steering column, the Start/Stop button assembly can be removed from column trim without disassembling trim. Start/Stop button connector must be disconnected to allow reader coil to be removed from around button assembly. Start/Stop button should be reconnected during key adaptation. This document provides photo examples of the procedure.
