Timing belt the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) – information on part operation, installation, diagnostics, and service intervals
Contact a service station for replacement of the timing belt.
It is recommended to replace all other timing mechanism elements (pulleys, rollers and tensioners, and, if necessary, also the cooling system pump) together with installation of a new timing belt on the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) car. This will help to save on purchase as well as on installation of the parts because you won’t need to perform the same work twice. Moreover, replacement of all defective components guarantees long-time and faultless operation of the timing mechanism.
After demounting you need to thoroughly inspect both the belt itself and other timing mechanism elements. By the nature of the defects, many failures in engine operation can be detected.
During demounting and mounting of the timing belt, pulleys and rollers, it is very important to use appropriate tools. Usually, the manufacturer specifies in technical documentation which exact ones are necessary for belt replacement. It is not recommended to use materials at hand, as you can damage the mechanism elements.
It is prohibited to rotate the engine shafts after belt demounting. This can become the cause of valves damaging. But in case if engine cranking is necessary, force should be applied to the crankshaft, but in no case to the camshaft.
During replacement of the timing belt on the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) car it is advisable to inspect and, if necessary, replace the oil seals of the crankshaft and camshaft. Oil getting onto the drive belt surface becomes the cause of its slipping and destruction.
It is very essential during installation to follow all tightening torque values indicated in the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) car technical documentation. Otherwise proper operation of the timing mechanism will not be provided.
While mounting a new belt it is important to properly synchronize the crankshaft and camshaft by aligning the marks on their surfaces with corresponding ones on the engine housing. Improper synchronization does not only reduce the engine performance, but can break it down.
The automotive timing belt should be installed in CCW direction starting from the crankshaft pulley. During works performing, avoid pinching or bending the component, otherwise its operability will be violated.
AUTODOC recommends you to necessarily perform the following actions after replacement of timing belt on VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) car
Provide the required belt tensioning, precisely following the instruction given in the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) car technical documentation.
Check and top up, if necessary, technical liquids to a needed level, in order to ensure efficiency and integrity of important units and assemblies of the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) car.
Perform test start of the engine. Let it run for some time idling. If vibrations are noticeable in the passenger compartment, whistling is heard from the belt, or, when pressing the accelerator pedal, popping sounds are heard in the exhaust system, most likely the component is installed improperly.
