B5 S4 Timing Belt Kit Installation
Step 7.
Unbolt and remove the hex socket accessory belt
tensioner bolt (arrow). Remove the tensioner from the
engine.
FYI: Check the tensioner bearing for noise or
looseness. e bearings in our old tensioner growled
when we spun the roller. We recommend replacing
the roller as part of this service to ensure that it will
last as long as the new belt, and continue to apply the
proper tension for maximum power transfer from the
crankshaft to all accessory pulleys.
Step 8.
Remove the top timing belt covers (highlighted
in a blue glow in this image). e covers are
held in place by bolts and snap clips. Pay close
attention to the interlocking tabs and slots that
join them for future reference during reassembly.
Step 9.
Use a 24mm 12-point socket on a long handled ratchet
to bar the engine over until the crank is at TDC. Align
the marks on the pulley and timing cover as shown.
