Damage Diagnosis On Aluminium Components
The information in
> Refer to 5X00IN62 Procedure for determining scope of damage in the appropriate service information
applies for damage diagnosis on aluminium sheet and extruded aluminium components.
Damage diagnosis for damaged areas on cast aluminium components requires greater attention .
Cast aluminium parts must always be replaced if chipped paintwork, cracks or other signs of deformation are visible.
The dimensions must also be within the permitted dimensional deviations in order to ensure that there is no invisible damage.
If dimensional deviations greater than > nominal value 0 mm +/- 2 mm are found on cast parts during damage diagnosis, these parts must also be replaced.
Information
- Due to the narrow tolerances, damage diagnosis and repairs must be carried out using an electronic measuring system (e.g > VAS 6526/11 - Measuring Unit, Professional or > VAS 811 019 - Measuring system ).
The relevant measuring points are shown in the following illustrations: -Arrow-
