Determining thickness of shim "S3"
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Audi A4, 2007 Audi A4, 2006 Audi A4, and 2005 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The deviation (tolerance) "r" in relation to the master gauge "Ro" is measured for the final drive sets supplied as replacement parts and marked on the outer circumference of the ring gear.
- Subtract value "e" if measurement is obtained on red scale.
- Add value "e" if measurement is obtained on black scale.
Formula:
"S3 " = "S3 *" + "r" + "e" ("e" on black scale)
"S3 " = "S3 *" + "r" - "e" ("e" on red scale)
| Example: | ||
| Inserted shim "S3 *" | 0.61 mm | |
| + | Deviation "r" | 0.38 mm |
| - | Determined value "e" (in red scale) | 0.26 mm |
| = | Thickness of shim "S3 " | 0.73 mm |
- Determine shim(s) according to table.
Available shims for "S3 "

*The exact shim thickness required can be obtained by using the shim tolerance variations. Install two shims if necessary.
