WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Volkswagen GTI, 2004 Volkswagen Jetta, 2004 Volkswagen GTI, 2003 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2003 Volkswagen GTI. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
- Internal dial gauge 50...100 mm
Test sequence
- Measure bores at 3 locations in both directions - A - across engine and - B - in line with crankshaft. Deviation from nominal dimension: max. 0.08 mm
NOTE:
- The cylinder bores must not be measured if the cylinder block is mounted on a repair stand with engine bracket 3269 or engine bracket VW 540 , as incorrect measurements would then result.
