Determining adjustment shim

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volkswagen R32. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The specified bearing pre-load is reached when determined measured value (example: 0.27 mm) is subtracted from inserted adjustment shim (1.70 mm) and a constant pre-load value (0.20 mm) is added.

Example: 

inserted shim 1.70 mm
- measured value 0.27 mm
+ preload (const. value) 0.20 mm
Thickness of adjustment shim 1.63 mm
