Replacing Cylinder Head on 2001 MK4 Golf TDI
This information is currently being edited
This procedure focuses on a cylinder head being installed on a 2001 VW Golf TDI with an automatic transmission. The TDI Guy diagnosed the cylinder head with extensive internal damage. The steps herein apply only for the replacement of the cylinder head. Cylinder head removal procedures are discussed in Defective Cylinder Head Removal.
The owner was short on funds. A used cylinder head with over 140,000 miles is being installed on the 2001 Golf TDI. Step-by step procedures the TDI Guy used for replacing the cylinder head are listed below:
*
Raise the vehicle to a SAFE working height with a lifting device or place on ramps.
*
Place jack stands (2) in an area under the car that provides good support.
*
Place chocks (2) behind the rear wheels.
*
Release the hood lever in the cabin.
*
Using a 10mm nut driver, remove three (3) nuts that secures the upper engine cover.
*
Remove the engine cover.
*
Using a 1/2-inch square drive breaker bar and 1/2-inch 17mm socket remove tire on passenger-side of vehicle.
*
Place the transmission lever in neutral in the passenger compartment.
*
Set the parking brake and remove the ignition key.
Figure 24-1 shows the defective cylinder head that was removed. The owner recently attempted to change the timing belt with poor results. The cylinder head will have to be rebuilt by a professional to restore it to working order.

Cleaning Replacement Cylinder Head
Head gasket remnants on replacement cylinder head were removed with brake cleaner and a plastic spreader. A gasket scraper was not used as it can cause scratches on the head surface resulting in possible oil leaks. Figure 24-2 shows a small plastic spreader being used to remove old gasket materials and sealant.

Figure 24-2 Removing Gasket Material With a Plastic Spreader
The head gasket surface was thoroughly cleaned with brake cleaner and a lint-free cloth. The mating surfaces on the cylinder head and engine block must be clean before an new head gasket is installed. An invitation for oil leaks will result, if residue is present. Figure 24-3 shows the surface on the cylinder head cleaned and ready for installation on the engine block.

Tensioner
An open hole in the rear timing cover is a cutout for the threaded stud that is attached to the cylinder head. When the cylinder head is placed on the new gasket of engine block, the stud protrudes thru the open cutout on the rear timing cover. The tensioner is placed on the threaded stud. The lock nut is secured using a 3/8-inch square drive ratchet and a 3/8-inch square drive 13mm socket. (See Figure 24-4). The cutout in the rear timing cover for the tensioner is shown in Figure 24-5.

Installing Cylinder Head
Before installing the replacement cylinder head, it was checked for hairline cracks and warpage. The TDI Guy used a machinist ruler and a 0.004 thousand feeler gauge to check the head surface. Measurements showed no noticeable warpage. Next, a die grinder, with a wire brush attachment was used to remove carbon deposits on the exhaust and intake valves. The cylinder head was installed on the Golf TDI using the following steps:
Note
Do not discard the old cylinder head gasket once it has been removed. It is used for identification purposes when ordering a replacement gasket.
*
Since new pistons are not being installed, measurement for piston projection is not necessary. This would require a different configuration gasket than the original. Table 24-1 shows the cylinder head gasket configurations for the ALH engine.
*
A replacement gasket with a two (2) hole (like original) pattern and multilayered can be obtained from an Internet vendor or a VW dealer parts center.

Remove Bearing Caps
The bearing caps have to be removed from the cylinder head before the camshaft can be removed for inspection. When removing the bearing caps follow the below procedure:
*
Mark the bearing caps as they are removed starting at Cylinder No.1 (timing belt end).
*
Loosen the lock nuts (10) using a 3/8-inch square drive ratchet and 3/8-inch square drive 13mm socket. Loosen the bearing caps in stages. For example, No.1, No.5 and No.3 then loosen No.2 and No.4.
*
The camshaft bearing caps should be marked with a number and letter stamp or a marker.
*
Mark arrows on the caps as they are removed indicating the front of the engine.
*
The bearing caps have to go back in the same location from which they were removed. Figure 24-12 shows the camshaft bearing cap identification markings.

Camshaft Removal
Once the bearing caps have been removed, the camshaft is removed as follows:
*
The camshaft is lifted from its position to clear the bearing journals on the cylinder head.
*
Tilt it to the rear to clear the rear timing cover. Remove the camshaft from the cylinder head for inspection.
Camshaft Inspection
This is an AS IS repair so some routine camshaft measurements were not made. For example, camshaft run out and camshaft endplay procedures were not made for this repair. A visual inspection was made to check the camshaft bearing surfaces for pitting, score marks, galling, and abnormal wear.
Removing Lifters
Remove the lifters from the cylinder head, keeping them in order with their respective valve and cylinder. Remove as follows:
*
Lifters can usually be picked up by there grooves with the fingers.
*
In other cases, a solvent is used with a pickup magnet to remove the lifters from their bores.
Tools and Materials
*
Solvent
*
Pick-up magnet
Installing Lifters
New lifters, head bolts (10), head gasket, bearing cap lock nuts, and camshaft oil seal were the only new parts installed on the 2001 Golf TDI replacement cylinder head. Install the new lifters using the below procedures:
*
After old lifters have been removed from their bores, clean all debris, varnish, and corrosion with brake cleaner or solvent.
*
Blow dry with a pencil tip air nozzle and compressed air.
*
Apply clean engine oil onto the sides of all new lifters.
*
The lifters are installed with the grooves facing down in their bores.
*
Install one (1) new lifter in its bore starting at cylinder No.4 of the cylinder head (Figure 24-13).
*
Push the lifter firmly down in its bore until it makes contact with the valve.
*
Install the remaining lifters in their bores until they also make contact with their valves.
*
Oil the upper surfaces of the camshaft bearing journals with clean engine oil.
*

Cylinder Alignment Re-Check
Before removing locking tools, check that no settings have changed since the tools have been installed. Check the following:
*
Cylinder No. 1 cam lobes in the "Up" position.
*
Engine timing window is still set to TDC.
* Camshaft bolt is torqued
* Injection pump bolts are torqued
* Tensioner is aligned properly and nut is tight.
*
Assuming OK - Remove all locking tools.
*
Using the P/N 3036 cam sprocket holding tool, rotate the camshaft "clockwise" one (1) full turn or with a 12 point 19mm socket rotate the crankshaft two (2) full turns until the No.1 cylinder cam lobes are in the "UP" position and pointing North and South, install the cam locking tool into the camshaft.
* Check the TDC mark on the flywheel/torque converter
* Check the alignment of the tensioner
* Check the injection pump lock hole is still "in the window"
Tip
In this step, you should feel good compression as you turn the cam sprocket with the cam holding tool. If little or no compression is felt, and the lobes of the camshaft are in the "UP" position, the piston is on the "exhaust stroke" and not on the compression stroke of the engine cycle. Solution - Turn the cam sprocket one (1) revolution or 360 degrees. Compression should be felt. The No.1 cylinder cam lobes should be pointing "UP" indicating TDC.
Secondly, if you feel like the engine is hitting a valve then there is a problem that will have to be corrected before the engine can be started. Solution - Recheck all steps above and then make sure that all bolts have been torqued to specifications.

Injection Timing
When cam and crank timing have been set and injection pump positioned, the Vag-Com scan tool is used to adjust the ignition timing for peak performance. Figure 24-43 shows the Vag-Com interface cable being connected to the sixteen (16) pin diagnostic link connector (DLC) on the Golf TDI. Figure 24-44 shows the Basic Settings Mode data blocks information displayed on the screen of a laptop computer.
Note
An OBDII scan tool is used to retrieve soft and hard DTC'S (trouble codes) on your Golf TDI. The link between the scan tool and the computer can be uni-directional or bi-directional. This means that uni-directional scan tools sold by retailers and auto part stores can read data, but cannot give commands to the computer. A bi-directional scan tool can receive commands from the computer. Body codes, chassis codes, power train codes, and network codes can be operated with a bi-directional scan tool. The tool of choice to communicate with the Golf TDI ECM is the Vag-Com scan tool by Ross-Tech for retrieving DTC'S on the Golf TDI.
