Alright guys my drive chain to the oil pump has snapped on my polo. I've ordered a new pump & chain just wondering if anyone with autodata could possibly do me a big favour & sort me a diagram of the position that the new chain goes in it would be much appreciated ! The car is a polo 6n2 1.4 TDi engine , engine code is AMF

Thanks Steve

Removing and installing counterbalance shaft and retaining frame

Removing and installing counterbalance shaft

Special tools, workshop equipment, test and measuring appliances and auxiliary items required

◆ T10060 Retaining pin

◆ T10061 Socket

◆ V.A.G 1331 Torque wrench (5...50 Nm)

◆ V.A.G 1332 Torque wrench (40...200 Nm)

◆ Spanner (24/27 mm AF)

Removing

‒ Remove ribbed belt => Page 13-16.

‒ Remove toothed belt => Page15-10.

‒ Remove sump => Page 17-17.

‒ Remove sealing flange, pulley side => Page 13-22.

‒ Remove securing bolts from cover.

‒ Unclip cover from retaining frame.

‒ → Lock chain tensioner with retaining pin T10060 -arrow-.

‒ Unbolt sprocket/idler roller -1- from retaining frame.

‒ Remove securing bolts -2- from chain tensioner and remove it.

‒ Remove chain from sprockets and lay it aside on a clean surface.

‒ → Block the counterbalance shaft as shown with a spanner (24/27 mm AF) -1-.

Note:

When blocking the counterbalance shaft, make sure that the spanner is centred on the counterbalance weight and at right angles to counterbalance shaft.

‒ Loosen securing bolt -2- of counterbalance weight.

Note:

Only loosen counterbalance weight securing bolt -2-; do not remove it.

‒ Unbolt retaining frame -3- from cylinder block and remove retaining frame with counterbalance shaft.

‒ Lay retaining frame aside on a clean surface.

‒ Remove securing bolt from counterbalance shaft.

‒ Remove counterbalance weight and sprocket from counterbalance shaft.

‒ Turn the counterbalance shaft so that it can be removed from the bearing.

Installing

‒ Oil bearing's running surfaces.

‒ Set counterbalance shaft in bearing.

‒ Fit sprocket and counterbalance weight on counterbalance shaft.

Note:

The assembly of the sprocket and the counterbalance weight is possible in one position only.

‒ Hand tighten securing bolt for counterbalance weight and sprocket.

‒ Tighten retaining frame to cylinder block by hand so that there is no play.

Notes:

◆ When fitting retaining frame, ensure that the dowel sleeve is inserted in the cylinder block and the O ring is fitted in the retaining frame.

◆ Align the retaining frame so that it fits flush with the outer edge of the cylinder block on the pulley end.

‒ Bolt retaining frame with counterbalance shaft to cylinder block

Tightening torque: 20 Nm.

‒ Check that retaining frame aligns flush with outer edge of cylinder block on the pulley end.

‒ → Block counterbalance shaft as shown with spanner (24/27 mm AF) -1-.

Note:

When blocking the counterbalance shaft, make sure that the spanner is centred on the counterbalance weight and at right angles to counterbalance shaft.

‒ Tighten counterbalance weight securing bolt -2-

Tightening torque: 100 Nm + 1/4 turn (90 °) further.

Note:

The securing bolt is a stretch bolt am must always be replaced.

‒ Install chain tensioner

Tightening torque: 8 Nm + 1/4 turn (90°) further.

Note:

The chain tensioner securing bolts are stretch bolts and must be renewed without exception.

‒ Clean chain with a lint-free cloth.

‒ → Ensure that mark on crankshaft sprocket -arrow- is at top.

‒ → Lay chain over crankshaft sprocket, oil pump sprocket and counterbalance shaft sprocket. Ensure that the marks on the crankshaft sprocket and counterbalance sprocket align with the colour-coded chain links -arrows-.

Note:

The colour-coded chain links are marked with a notch.

‒ Engage idler sprocket in chain and tighten idler sprocket to retaining frame

Tightening torque: 20 Nm.

‒ Remove retaining pin T10060 from chain tensioner.

‒ → Check that marks on crankshaft sprocket and counterbalance shaft sprocket align with the colour-coded chain links -arrows-.

Note:

The colour-coded chain links are marked with a notch.

‒ Install pulley end sealing flange => Page 13-22.

‒ Install counterbalance shaft cover

Tightening torque: 5 Nm.

Notes:

◆ Before installing cover, oil O ring of oil pump as well as shaft on inside of cover.

◆ Ensure proper seating of sealing strip in cover.

◆ When installing cover, ensure that cover engages in retaining frame.

‒ Install sump => Page 17-17.

‒ Install and tension toothed belt => Page 15-10.

‒ Install ribbed belt => Page 13-16.

Thanks nige ! You have helped me out again buddy

No Probs.

Word.

I realise this is an old post, it just came up on le google search!

Does anyone know if this is a common fault? I've got a '10 plate ibiza sat on a ramp with a pinhole in the oilpump cover. Turns out the oilpump drivechain has been running along it. to me it looks like the chain is just far to long! Like it's streched and not far from snapping.

Any help would be totally rad man!
