Determining thickness of shim S3
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2001 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1999 Volkswagen Jetta, and 1999 Volkswagen Golf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The correct thickness for shim S3 is determined by adding:
- Specified bearing preload (a constant, 0.20 mm)
- Measured axial play (example: 0.30 mm)
- Test shim thickness (0.65 mm)
Example:
DETERMINING THICKNESS OF SHIM S3 (EXAMPLE)
| Inserted test shim + Reading from dial indicator + Preload (constant) |
0.65 mm 0.30 mm 0.20 mm |
| = Thickness of shim S3 | 1.15 mm |
- Remove output shaft and extract outer race of small tapered roller bearing.
- - Internal extractor 37-46 mm, e.g. Kukko 21/6
- - Counter support, e.g. Kukko 22/2
