Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Measure bore at 3 locations in both directions - A - across engine and - B - in line with crankshaft. Deviation from nominal dimension: 0.10 mm maximum

NOTE:

Do NOT measure the cylinder bores when the block is mounted on a repair stand using the holding fixture VW 540. Bending stresses resulting from the mass overhang will make incorrect measurements likely.
