NOTE:

Replace the O-ring after removing.

-- Lay the O-ring -arrow- in the groove on the supercharger housing.

-- Place the driver -2- on the solenoid coupling -1-.

-- Place the trim -3- on the solenoid coupling and secure with three bolts -4-.

-- Insert the :T40302 in the drive plate and the solenoid coupling.

The drive plate is centered to the solenoid coupling.

-- Connect the :VAS6909 to a 12V battery or on the vehicle jump start terminal.

-- Connect the :VAS6909 connector with the solenoid coupling and switch on the power supply to the solenoid coupling.

With the power supply switched on the drive plate is secured on the solenoid coupling.

NOTE:

Pay attention during the assembly that the solenoid coupling current feed with the :VAS6909 is not interrupted.

Interrupting the solenoid coupling current feed with the :VAS6909 may only take place when the clamping hub clamping bolts secured on the shaft.

CAUTION:

There is a risk of destroying the solenoid coupling.

The solenoid coupling must not be connected longer than 15 minutes to the power supply.
The current feed heats the solenoid coupling.

-- Remove the :T40302 with the power supply switched on.

-- Check that the coil spring -1- is seated correctly in the driveshaft -2-.

The driveshaft must be free of oil and grease.

The following marks help with the allocation of the solenoid coupling driver to the supercharger shaft:

Position the solenoid coupling drive plate so that the groove -4- for the coil spring alights with the arrow marking on the trim -3-.
Position the supercharger so that the coil spring -2- points to the mark "KEY" -1-.

-- Place the solenoid coupling drive plate -1- on the supercharger shaft -2- -arrow-.

-- Switch off the power supply, remove the :VAS6909 from the solenoid coupling and from the power source.

-- Install the coolant pipes to the supercharger. Refer to COMPRESSOR COOLANT PIPES, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

-- Adapt the solenoid coupling after removing and installing or replacing:

The Vehicle Diagnostic Tester is connected.

-- Select the mode.

-- Press the Go To button and select the "Function/component selection" and the following tree structures one after the other:
