Afterthe valve cover is removed loosen all of the caps for both camshafts. Remove the first 3 camshaft caps that are nearest to the timing chain tensioner. Be sure to keep tension on the timing belt to avoid any slipping. Remove the bolts that are holding the timing chain tensioner in place. Carefully angle both cams upward lifting the timingHereare some common repair costs associated with the P0014 code: VVT or VCT Control Valve Cleaning – 0$ Low Engine Oil Level – $10 to $100; Variable camshaft timing control solenoid – 200$ to 500$ VVT or VCT control unit replacement 500$ to 1500$ Timing chain or timing chain replacement 600$ to 3000$ 04touareg V8 cam timing chain tensioner. The low oil pressure warning light came on and had noisy lifters on cyl's 5-8. I put in a mechanical oil pressure gauge and saw that I had 75 psi cold at idle and 50 psi after the car warms up a little. Pulled the valve cover off and noticed the cam chain was loose.

Ifyou're not finding common place chain based issues from the V6 or V8 vehicles, then it's probably a reasonable expectation to be problem free to at least 124k miles. Even with all the chain problems on the 2.0T, mine was still fine enough when I replaced it at 130k miles.
Atthis point you can remove the puller from the balancer and return to the parts store or stow it away until next time it is needed. 5. Remove the Front Main Seal. The front main seal will now be exposed at the front of the crankshaft. Inspect the woodruff key which aligns the damper to the crankshaft.
