B5 S4 Timing Belt Kit Installation
Repair Steps
These steps begin with the front of the car removed for access.
See pages 8-9 for engine images that identify component locations.
1) Remove the top engine beauty cover above the throttle body.
2) Remove the viscous fan clutch (left hand thread).
3) Loosen the air intake pressure pipe connection hose clamps. (These are the pressure ducts connecting the
charge air coolers to the y-hose at the throttle inlet.) Remove the pressure pipes.
4) Loosen the power steering pulley bolts.
5) Rotate the accessory belt tensioner to
release belt tension; remove the ribbed
serpentine accessory belt.
6) Remove the power steering pump bolts.
Leave the pump in place, with hoses
attached. Remove the dipstick tube.
7) Remove the accessory belt tensioner.
8) Remove the top camshaft sprocket
timing belt covers (left and right).
9) Using a 24mm 12-point socket and a
long wrench, bar the engine over until
the TDC marks on the front cover and
crankshaft damper pulley align.
10) Make sure the larger holes in the
propeller-like securing plates at the cam sprockets face toward the center of the engine. If they do not,
turn the engine 360° and align the crank marks again. Install the cam locking tool temporarily to check
correct cam position.
11) Remove the access plug on the left rear of the engine block, just above the oil pan seam, and insert the
crankshaft locking tool. Screw it in all the way to lock the crankshaft in place at TDC.
12) Unbolt the crankshaft pulley (vibration damper) from the crankshaft sprocket. Remove the belt guard be-
hind it. Remove the main crankshaft sprocket retaining bolt.
13) Remove timing belt tensioner components (tensioner, relay pivot, and tensioner roller) and the timing belt.
