Removing and installing balancer shaft module — AUDI

🧭 Before you start

Remove the upper and lower timing chain covers, noise insulation and camshaft timing chain with its guide rail and tensioner. Take out the balance shaft chain tensioner, tensioning rail, both guide rails and the chain. Turn the sprockets to their markings, fit the chain with the coloured links on the marks, refit the rails and the tensioner with locking fluid, and check the adjustment again. Then refit the camshaft chain, covers, poly V-belt tensioner and belt.

Fits: VW Transporter T6 (7E), VW Transporter T6 (7F)

Don't miss

• Coloured links on the timing chain must sit exactly at the markings on the sprockets.
• Turn the intermediate shaft sprocket and balance shaft to their markings before fitting the chain.
• Fit the balance shaft chain tensioner with locking fluid.
• Recheck the adjustment after the tensioner is fitted, before the camshaft chain goes back on.
