Removal
Note: For disassembly "Removing oil protection tube", the cylinder head cover in the vicinity of the oil protection tube must be heated up. Two different methods can be used for this:
First method: Heat cylinder head cover in the area of the oil protection tube using an industrial hot-air gun.
Second method: Warm engine up to operating temperature.
The second method is preferable if no further assembly work has to be performed, e.g. sealing cylinder head cover, replacing tensioning element (VarioCam) or replacing the flat-base tappets, etc.
