Timing
The timing is made up by three chains driven by the
crankshaft toothed gears module:
- One chain for driving the camshafts. The existing
down gearing drives the camshafts at half the rotation
speed of the crankshaft,
- One chain for driving the balance shafts. The existing
down gearing drives the balance shafts at twice the
rotation speed of the crankshaft, Balance shaft toothed gear

- One chain for driving the oil pump.

The chains used are of new design, metallic and mainte-

nance free. The operation principle is very similar to the
one used for driving the conventional type of belts.

Also, these chains are more noiseless, have a much

higher performance and greater flexibility than the
chains being used up o now. They also transfer the same
amount of torque with a thinner chain.
Hydraulic tensioner
For optimum guiding and tension of the chains several
polyamid plastic guides and three tensioners have been
used:
- An hydraulic tensioner for driving the camshafts. To
remove it you need to lock the tensioner piston by
using special tool T40011,
- A mechanic tensioner for driving the balance shafts.
The tensioner is screwed onto the block and lubri-
cated with oil,

cial tool T40011 has to be used for locking it. ical tensioner Special tool T40011

To set the timing, the marks on the toothed gears must

coincide with the three darker links on the two chains.
There are darker links only on one side of the chain in
order to guarantee a single assembly position.

BYT engine blow-by vapours ven-

tilation Regulator valve

The 1.8l TFSI engine uses a blow-by vapours ventilation

system similar to the on used in the 2.0l TFSI engine. An
engine block forced ventilation system is used, which
creates a constant flow of air inside the engine, drag-
ging the existing vapours from the engine into the oil
separator in order to carry out the vapours elimination
process.

Fresh air intake takes is carried out behind the air filter
and air mass meter. The ventilation passage is linked to
the cylinder head cover by means of a choke valve.

The choke valve has a double function. On the one hand Choke valve
it allows air to flow towards the inside of the engine, and
on the other hand it acts as a safety valve. In the event of
high pressure inside the engine, the valve opens and
sends the non-filtered vapours to the inlet passage, thus Filtered vapours
preventing damage to the seals due to excess vapours output
pressure inside the engine.

The blow-by vapours go through the thick particles sep-

arator placed on the inlet side of the engine block,
which separates any existing oil particles in the vapours.
These oil droplets are recovered in the separator by
means of a syphon system, and are then returned to the Entry of

Vacuum system
Vacuum supply to the brake servo and the engine con-
sumers is achieved by means of a vacuum pump
attached to the cylinder head and driven by the exhaust
camshaft, just behind the fuel high pressure pump.
Only the brake servo and the guided intake system use
the vacuum circuit.

The vacuum pump provides vacuum under any engine

running condition. That is why it is not necessary to use
an additional vacuum tank. The pump’s operation has
been devised so that it can maintain an absolute pres-
sure rate of 50 mbar when the engine is running.

Air mass meter G70

The new air mass meter uses the “hot film with ebb”
technique, and measures the air mass intake by means
of a partial flow (bypass).

The engine control unit receives a modulated frequency

digitalised signal. Once the frequency of the input sig-
nal is calculated, the engine control unit consults the
intake air mass associated to that frequency in a memo-
rised characteristic curve. The range of frequencies can
oscillate between 1200 Hz for a kg/hr. air mass, up to
3900 Hz for a 640 kg/hr. air mass.

Replacement function
In the event of lack of signal from the air mas meter, the
engine control unit will use the gas butterfly throttle

The position of the variator is defined by the variable

After engine stop, the variator is blocked at the delay

position. This function is carried out by means of a lock-
ing pin under the pressure of a spring. The system
unlocks when the oil pressure overcomes 0.5 bar. Hall sensor G40

The variator is made up by a rotor, a stator, an oil pres-

sure distributor valve and a locking pin. The rotor is
welded to the inlet cams and the stator activates the tim-

the camshaft anticlockwise. The new special tool
T10352 is needed to remove the valve.

Depending on the magnetic field, the solenoid valve

It is a resistance whose ohm rating deceases when the European On Board Diagnose System

Compression ratio the same time it is a check up and control point for the

An engine’s compression ratio is the quotient between
the volume inside the cylinder when the piston is at
BDC (bottom dead center) and the volume inside the Overboost
cylinder when the piston is at TDC (top dead center). In An overboosted engine has a pressure in the inlet mani-
