How to remove cylinder head? 1.9 tdi BKC

[Tangles553]

Hey all

Does anyone here have experience with these engines and can run me through removing the cylinder head? Particularly just the timing belt, I have the manifolds and fuel pump off already.

This is a BKC engine. I have the workshop manual however its very general and covers a wide variety of engines, involves a swathe of special tools, and is overall pretty confusing.

I'm not renewing the timing belt and tensioners, I just want the head off.

Cheers,
Tangles

from memory can just use an allankey or similar to turn the tensioner and take pressure off the belt.
Didnt bother with any of the fancy tools when I did my 1.9 timing

why wouldn't you replace the timing belt/tensioner etc while you are there? all the hard work is done if you are at the point of taking the belt off.

Cheers, good to know. Belt and tensioner kit was recently done, it's only got about 10,000km on it
