Adjusting Shim S6 For Positioning Center Differential, Determining
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Audi A5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This adjustment is required when the following components are replaced:
- Transmission cover
- Spacer sleeve
- Spur gear
- Tapered roller bearing on the spur gear
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Ruler (1 Set = 2 Pieces) T 40100
- Digital depth gauge (for example, VAS 6087)
- The outer race / tapered roller bearing for the gear wheel mounting is installed inside the transmission cover.
- The spur gear and the spacer sleeve -1- are installed.
-- Mount the T40100 on the clean joint surface on the transmission cover.
-- Measure from the spacer sleeve -1- to the T40100 using the digital depth gauge -2- (for example, digital depth gauge VAS 6087). Press the spur gear downward, toward the transmission cover, in direction of -arrow-.
In the example, dimension -A1a- = 5.13 mm
-- Add the height of the T 40100 to this measurement.
| Example: | ||
|---|---|---|
| The value read on the digital depth gauge (dimension -a-) | 5.13 mm | |
| + | Height of T 40100 | 39.70 mm |
| = | Measuring range (total dimension) | 44.83 mm |
Determine shim according to table, refer to ADJUSTING SHIM S6 FOR POSITIONING CENTER DIFFERENTIAL, DETERMINING .
| Measuring Range (Total Dimension) | Adjustment Shim "S6 " |
|---|---|
| Measured value (mm) | Thickness (mm) |
| 44.30 to 44.40 | 1.41 |
| 44.40 to 44.50 | 1.31 |
| 44.50 to 44.60 | 1.21 |
| 44.60 to 44.70 | 1.11 |
| 44.70 to 44.80 | 1.01 |
| 44.80 to 44.90 | 0.91 |
| 44.90 to 45.00 | 0.81 |
| 45.00 to 45.10 | 0.71 |
NOTE:
Allocate adjustment shims.
-- The thickness of the shim S6 in this example is 0.91 mm.
