Oil pump replacement: VW Eos 2.0TSi (CAWB, CCZA, CCZB)

Step-by-step oil pump replacement for the VW Eos 2.0TSi: 194 steps. What to remove, in what order, and what to check after.

This is the timing chain job on the VW Eos 2.0 TSI (CAWB, CCZA, CCZB). The engine is supported with a special tool while the engine support and bracket come off, and the ancillary belt tensioner, turbocharger outlet pipe, upper and lower timing covers, inlet camshaft adjuster and crankshaft pulley are removed. With the crankshaft held, the oil pump chain, cam chain, guide and tensioner rails and balance shaft chain come out. Installation is where it is won or lost: the coloured links must align with the punched marks on the gearwheels, the cam chain goes on in one operation, the tensioner type must be identified, and the timing is checked again after turning the engine.

194 steps 3 engine codes

🧭 Before you start

Disconnect the battery, support the engine and remove the engine support, belt tensioner, turbo outlet pipe and timing covers. Turn the crankshaft to the timing marks, hold the pulley and remove it, then lock the tensioners and remove the oil pump chain, cam timing chain and balance shaft chain with their rails. Refit with coloured links on the punched marks, in one operation, using new bolts and gaskets, release the tensioners and check the balance shaft marks. Turn the engine 2 rotations clockwise and check the valve timing at TDC for cylinder 1 before refitting the rest.

Fits: platform codes 2.0, TSI

  • Timing position: the crankshaft or camshaft is set and locked during this job
  • Special tools named: locking pin, locking tool
  • Renewed: gaskets removal tool

Don't miss

  • Coloured chain links must line up with the punched marks on the gearwheels.
  • The camshaft adjuster has a left-hand thread.
  • Lock the chain tensioner with a locking pin; identify whether it is type 1 or type 2.
  • Use new bolts and gaskets where specified; counterhold the camshafts with a wrench.
  • Turn the engine 2 rotations and recheck valve timing before final assembly.

Who makes these pages, and how

TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.

The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.

Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
