Clutch Coil & Bearing: Installation
Ensure clutch coil lug fits into hole on compressor housing. Using Installer (VAG 1719/2) and a plastic hammer, press pulley on and install snap ring. Install shim(s) and clutch plate. Tighten compressor shaft bolt to 11 ft. lbs. (15 N.m). Using a feeler gauge, ensure air gap between pulley and clutch plate is 0.011-0.023" (0.30-0.60 mm). If air gap is incorrect, add or remove shim(s) as necessary.
- Install clutch coil and snap ring. Ensure clutch coil electrical lead is properly positioned on compressor housing. Position pulley on compressor. Using Puller (999-5598-1) and Adapter (999-5519-5 or 999-5600-5), press pulley onto compressor and install snap ring.
- Install shims in reverse order of removal and clutch plate. Hold clutch plate stationary and tighten compressor shaft nut to 11 ft. lbs. (15 N.m). Using a feeler gauge, ensure air gap between pulley and clutch plate is 0.012-0.020" (0.30-0.50 mm). If air gap is incorrect, add or remove shims as necessary.
