General Warning Notes: Replacing

Information 

From model year 2008 onwards, new hydraulic bearings with a larger diameter were introduced in parallel for the bearing -A-  . The supplement set T10230/14-16 must be used for these bearings.

The procedure for pressing the bearings in and out is the same for both bearings.

Information 

If a hydraulic mount/rubber-metal mount is installed, it must be fitted in the correct position. In other words: the "cut-outs" must be fitted horizontally, in vehicle position (± 5°). Additional instruction in relation to the hydraulic mount -B-  : always fit the wide face of the core of the mount towards the centre of the vehicle. Vehicle position = vehicle standing on its wheels.

• Position the tubular piston cylinder and pre-tension slightly to prevent the pressure pieces from slipping out of place. Check the position of the pressure pieces again. 
• Maximum assembling force must not exceed 60 KN at the stop. 
• The three rubber-metal mounts -A, B, C- must be replaced once the trailing arm is removed.

The pressure pieces and the tubular piston cylinder VAS 6178 are used for removal. This involves screwing pressure head T10205/13 into the tubular piston cylinder. T10230/2 is screwed on to the threaded rod and positioned in T10205/13 for pressing bearings in and out. Nut T10230/15 and washer T10230/14 are screwed onto the opposite end of the threaded rod.

The following pressure pieces and nuts are required for bearings -A-  :
