Mandatory Replacement Parts
- Bolts - Drive plate
-- Remove the transmission. Refer to TRANSMISSION, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
:VW558 , Preparing:
-- Tighten the M8x40 hex bolt -A- with a hex nut on the :VW558 .
Drive Plate, Loosening and Tightening:
-- Insert the :VW558 into the cylinder block and drive plate as shown.
Counterhold tool installation position: -A- to loosen, -B- to tighten.
Drive Plate, Installing:
-- First position the drive plate without the washer -A-.
-- Insert the used bolts -3- and tighten them to 30 Nm.
-- Check the dimension between the drive plate and the cylinder block in three locations and calculate the average.
This is measured through the hole in the drive plate to the machined surface of the cylinder block. If measuring on the intermediate plate, then the plate thickness must be taken into account.
- Specified value measured without intermediate plate: 19.5 to 21.1 mm
- Specified value measured with intermediate plate: 18.8 to 20.4 mm
If the specified value is reached, replace all bolts and tighten them.
If the specification is not obtained:
-- Remove the drive plate again and use the shim -A-. Tighten the bolts -3- to 30 Nm again.
-- Repeat the measurement. If the specified value is reached, replace all bolts and tighten them.
