Determining average backlash
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Audi A4, 2004 Audi A4, 2003 Audi A4, and 2002 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Add four measured values together and divide by four.
| Example: | ||
| 1st measured value | 0.28 mm | |
| + | 2nd Measured value | 0.30 mm |
| + | 3rd Measured value | 0.30 mm |
| + | 4th Measured value | 0.28 mm |
| = | Sum of measured values | 1.16 mm |
- Result: The average backlash is 1.16 mm divided by 4 = 0.29 mm
NOTE:
If the individual measurements differ by more than 0.06 mm this means that the installation of the ring gear is not correct or that the final drive set itself is defective. Check installation, replace final drive set if necessary.
