KR and 9A 16v torque settings / fuel pressures

Recommended Posts

I'll try and find as much info as possible for both these engines, and will update on this first/second post.

Feel free to add any info that you know and I'll gladly update like I say this first/second post.

The 4 Banjo bolts for the injector pipes in the fuel distributor are:

10 Nm (7 ft.Ib)

 

Small Banjo bolt for fuel pipe to cold start valve

10Nm (7 ft.Ib)

 

Large Banjo bolts around metering head are 20 Nm (15 ft.Ib)

 

Small Banjo bolts around metering head are 10 Nm (7 ft.Ib)

 

KR engine

The same torque settings for large & small Banjo bolts on the fuel pressure regulator that's bolted to front of engine block on (KR) 1.8 16v

Large Banjo 20 Nm (15 ft.Ib)

According to Bentley Manual.

 

ENGINE

 

Camshaft & intermediate shaft sprockets,

torque setting for both 65Nm (48 ft.Ib)

 

Intermediate shaft oil seal housing

25Nm (18 ft.Ib)

 

Cam belt tensioner 45Nm (33 ft.Ib)

 

Camshaft bearing caps 15Nm (11 ft.Ib)

 

Cam cover bolts

10Nm to 12Nm (7 to 10 ft.Ib)

 

Water pump pulley 20Nm (15 ft.Ib)

 

Crankshaft x4 allen key bolts

20Nm (15 ft.Ib)

 

Crankshaft front main oil seal housing

M8 bolts 20Nm (15 ft.Ib)

M6 bolts 10Nm to 12Nm (7 to 10 ft.Ib)

 

Sump bolts 20Nm (15 ft.Ib)

 

Crankshaft rear main oil seal housing

M8 bolts 20Nm (15 ft.Ib)

M6 bolts 10Nm to 12Nm (7 to 10 ft.Ib)

 

*************

*************

 

Crankshaft main bolt (Lubricated)

6 sided bolt with washer

180 Nm (137 ft.Ib)

 

Hex head bolt with washer

150Nm (111 ft.Ib)

 

12 sided bolt with collar (no washer)

90 Nm (66 ft.Ib) + 180° (half turn)

 

*************

*************

 

 

LUBRICATION

 

Engine oil low pressure range

Switch opens from

0.5 to 0.45 bar (2.1 to 6.4 PSI)

Manual says 0.3 bar is normal.

 

Low oil pressure switch

(brown 0.3 bar)

Also you can get the blue one below.

(Blue 0.4 bar)

Part number 028 919 081H

 

***************

 

Engine oil high pressure range

Switch closes from

1.6 to 2.0 bar (23.2 to 29 PSI)

Manual says 1.8 bar is normal.

 

High pressure oil sensor switch

(white 1.8 bar)

Part number 056 919 081

 

Oil pressure switch torque settings

25Nm (18 ft.Ib)

This is from the Bentley manual but me personally I'd say 15 ft.Ib is enough so be careful when tightening the oil pressure switches.

 

Normal operation of oil pressure switch.

When the ignition is turned on the oil warning light may flash meaning no oil pressure. Once the engine is started oil pressure should rise which opens the switch = opening the ground/earth circuit and turning the oil warning light off.

When you have too low oil pressure or have a faulty switch, the oil warning light will flash or stay on, plus you might have a warning alarm buzz from your dash.

 

Also manual says on the 16v engines that they have extra oil pray nozzles attached to base of cylinder bores, these nozzles open up at oil pressure above 3.5 bar (50 PSI)

 

 

Oil temp sender

Part number 049 919 563A

Normally fits in back of head the side facing exhaust manifold, on top left for 9A & ABF

But the KR might be on the oil filter housing.

 

 

*********************************

 

CYLINDER HEAD

 

Cylinder head torque settings 16v

 

Stage 1) 40Nm (30 ft.Ib)

Stage 2) 60Nm (44 ft.Ib)

Stage 3) + 180° (half turn) or you can do this as two 90° turns = 180°

NOTE= Always use new head bolts as they are stretch bolts

 

Cylinder head face warpage maximum

0.1mm (.0004 in)

Anymore then this and there's a possibility your head gasket may not seal.

 

Head gasket should be the metal compression genuine VW one, as the 16v can have high compression, the other cheap pattern gaskets don't last as long.

 

Cylinder head minimum thickness

118.1mm (4.650 in)

measure the thickness of the head between where the valve cover sits and cylinder head face.

 

Valve seat dimensions

Intake 31.2mm (1.228 in)

Exhaust 27.6mm (1.087 in)

 

Valve seat angle

Inlet 45°

Exhaust 45°

 

Valve head diameter

Inlet 32mm (1.259 in)

Exhaust 28mm (1.102 in)

 

Valve stem diameter

Inlet 6.97mm (.2744 in)

Exhaust 6.94mm (.2732 in)

 

Valve lengths

Inlet 95.50mm (3.760 in)

Exhaust 98.20mm (3.866 in)

 

Valve face angle

Inlet 45°

Exhaust 45°

 

****************************************

 

IGNITION

 

Knock sensors KR/ PL torque settings

15 to 25Nm (11 to 18 ft.Ib)

 

Knock sensors 9A torque settings

15 to 20Nm (11 to 15 ft.Ib)

 

Knock sensor 1 is on left

Knock sensor 2 is on right

Testing value approx 300k ohms

 

Ignition timing setting

6° + or - 1° BTDC

 

Engine ilde speed setting

Up to 1990 (700rom to 900rpm)

After 1990 (800rpm to 1000rpm)

 

Spark plug torque setting

20Nm (15 ft.Ib)

 

Firing order = 1, 3, 4, 2

 

Number 1 cylinder is at the cam belt end,

number 4 cylinder is closest to distributor.

 

The engine rotates clockwise but the distributor will rotate anticlockwise.

Thanks mate I'm going to print that off now so I dont blow up my car . Ive just ordered a new white oil switch definitely threaded the new one and it was OE VW , managed to damage £30.00 of sensors x1+ oil switch x1 as they were Buri + OE but at least learnt something today, do not work on my own car lol.

STEERING

 

1.8 16V and 2.0 16v Corrado looks like the original retaining U-clamp for left side of steering rack was 15mm wide with matching bush.

 

Actual Width 16.5mm

Thickness 5mm

Inner diameter 61mm to 62mm

Height inner 70mm

Height outer 75mm

 

15mm wide U-clamp now obsolete

Aftermarket 15mm bush still available.

 

 

If you're able to clean up your original 15mm wide clamp, basically you don't have heavy corrosion and it's just light surface rust, then you should be ok to reuse it.

 

******************

 

Replacement retaining U-clamp is 18.5mm

Part number 191 419 875

VW Heritage sell them plus some on Ebay.

 

Actual Width 20.3mm

Thickness 5mm

Inner diameter 61mm to 62mm

Height inner 70mm

Height outer 75mm

 

Plus you'll need the matching bush to fit the above clamp 18.5mm

 

*******************

 

Power steering rack retaining flange bolts

M8 X 75mm thread pitch 1.25

Thread length 40mm

Size of Hex head 13mm

Grade = high tensile grade 8.8

OEM Part number N901 845 02 obsolete

 

Original flange nuts for above bolts

Size of hex on nut 13mm

Thread pitch 1.25

OEM Part number N902 264 04 obsolete

 

Due to OEM rack bolts now obsolete,

you can still purchase ordinary shouldered bolts, just make sure they're minimum grade of 8.8 high tensile and ideally shouldered bolts.

Regarding the thread the original pitch was 1.25mm if the thread length on bolt replacement is only 25mm or 30mm long then it'll be too short, you can use a M8 die with 1.25mm to cut and extend the thread to make it 40mm long if needed.

 

Also make sure you use nylon lock nuts,

the original rack bolts and nuts were flanged ones.

Main ECU has 35 terminals for the 2.0 16v E-Motronic Bosch system (9A eng)

 

 

Terminal 1 =

0.5mm grey/white wire (goes to 6 point push on connector ground behind fuse box)

Then goes to 3 point push on connector behind centre console. Then goes to double white diagnostic connector plug under gear stick boot,

possibly up to 1992

After 1993 it'll be the OBD2 black connector.

 

Terminal 2 =

0.5mm blk/white wire (earth to behind fuse box) says six point push on connection.

Linked to battery to body earth.

 

Terminal 3 =

0.5mm violet/blk wire (goes to terminal 1 of coolant temp switch) in back of cylinder head.

 

Terminal 4 =

Terminal 6 =

0.5mm white wire (goes to 3 point push on connector near starter motor) then goes to terminal 1 of knock sensor 2.

 

Terminal 7 = (For Lambda sensor)

0.5mm to 1mm black wire leaves terminal 7 and branches off into second black wire which goes to earth point on bulkhead, main black wire though continues to Lambda sensor, plus goes to single point connection in engine bay at the back, possibly to rear engine mount?

1mm white wire from Lambda plug goes to double connection point in rear of engine bay, then goes to single connection point behind fusebox panel.

Also looks like the red/yellow wire from fuel pump circuit is partly connected to Lambda sensor via white wire.

BUT NEED TO DOUBLE CHECK THIS

 

Terminal 8 = has two wires.

0.5mm blk wire and 0.5mm yellow wire. **************

Blk wire (goes to 3 point push on connector near starter motor)

***************

Yellow wire (goes to 3 point push on connector near starter motor, then goes to terminal 2 of knock sensor 2.

Terminal 3 of knock sensor 2 is 0.5mm blk wire says is earth goes back in ECU main wiring loom.

 

Terminal 9 = POSSIBLY ONLY ON USA MODEL.

possibly up to 1992

After 1993 it'll be the OBD2 black connector.

 

Terminal 14 =

1.5mm blk wire (goes to 5 point push on connector behind fuse box)

Then comes back out as 1mm blk wire, looks like an earth.

Changes to 1.5mm blk/yellow wire (goes to 6 point push on connector behind fuse box) which links to terminal 1 of ignition module.

 

Terminal 15 =

0.5mm green/yellow wire

(goes to terminal 2 of carbon canister solenoid valve 2)

Terminal 1 of solenoid valve is 0.5mm blk/white wire, says earth connection goes back in ECU main wiring loom.

 

Terminal 16 =

0.5mm brown/red wire (goes to terminal 2 of cold start valve injector)

Terminal 1 of cold start valve is 0.5mm blk/white wire, says earth connection goes back in ECU main wiring loom.

 

Terminal 17=

Terminal 2 of idle valve is 1mm blk/white wire, says earth connection back in ECU main wiring loom.

 

Terminal 18 =

1.5mm brown/yellow wire (goes through ECU main wiring loom, where it changes to 2.5mm brown wire and

0.5mm brown wire.

(Says ?? 2.5mm goes to THIS I'VE GOT TO TRACE YET ??

(Says 0.5mm goes to terminal 2 of carbon canister solenoid valve 1)

Terminal 1 of solenoid valve 1 is 0.5mm blk/white wire,

says earth connection back in ECU main wiring loom.

 

Terminal 19 =

1.5mm red wire (looks like this is main live power to ECU) says goes to 2 point push on connector behind fuse box.

 

Terminal 20 =

???? Possibly blank as not listed ????

 

Terminal 21 =

0.5mm red/blk wire (goes to terminal 3 of hall sensor)

Terminal 1 of hall sensor = is 0.5mm brown/white wire = says earth goes back in ECU main wiring loom.

This hall sensor is inside the ignition distributor = should have a 3 pin connector plug.

 

Terminal 22 =

0.5mm yellow wire (goes to 5 point push on connector behind fuse box = says earth connection)

then goes to 2 point push on connector behind centre console.

Then goes to single white diagnostic connector under gear stick boot.

possibly up to 1992

After 1993 it'll be the OBD2 black connector.

 

Terminal 23 =

0.5mm grey/green wire (goes to terminal 2 of air flow sensor)

Terminal 3 of above sensor = 0.5mm brown/white wire - says is earth connection goes back in ECU main wiring loom.

this is normally connected onto HT lead number 4.

Only on 16v eng.

 

Terminal 28 =

0.5mm black/blue wire goes to terminal 1 of throttle position switch.

 

Terminal 29 =

Red wire (goes to ignition timing reference sensor/knock control sensor)

this is normally connected onto HT lead number 4.

Only on 16v eng.

 

Terminal 30 =

0.5mm green/white wire (goes to terminal 2 of hall sensor)

Terminal 31 =

???? Possibly blank as not listed ????

 

Terminal 32 =

0.5mm grey wire goes to pin 3 of throttle position switch.

Pin 2 of switch is 0.5mm brown/white wire that goes back into main ECU wiring loom, possibly an earth.

 

Terminal 33 =

0.5mm blk/green wire (goes to 2 point push on connector behind fuse box.

 

Terminal 34 =

0.5mm white/green wire (goes to 3 point push on connector behind fuse box)

Then changes to 0.5mm brown/red wire = says goes to white 12 pin connector plug with central rear location tab, terminal/pin 6 of white 12 pin plug.

 

Terminal 35 =

1mm brown wire (looks like this is one of the main earth connections for ECU)

looks like it goes to valve cover on back right, close to where the distributor is.

 

 

This is now all 35 terminal/pins listed for the 2.0 16v main fuel/ignition ECU.

Diagrams from the Bentley Manual for the 2.0 16v (9A) electrical circuit for the ECU, I have already listed most of them in a previous post, but thought these wiring diagrams may help also.

Green dots show ECU pins.
