The 1.8t cam caps must be fitted correctly so the oil way lines up with the cylinder head

These are numbered and from 1-5 on both the intake and exhaust cams and must be fitted as the diagram shoes below.

The numbers on the caps must also be always readable from the intake side of the cylinder head ( not upside down )
