• Depth Gauge: VAS6082 
• Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft: T10134 
• Crankshaft Locking Pin: T10340 
• M 6 x 35 Bolts (quantity: 3)

Procedure 

• Transmission removed

-- Remove the flywheel. Refer to FLYWHEEL, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

-- Remove the intermediate plate -1- from the alignment sleeves -arrows A-.

-- Guide the intermediate plate -1- upward.

-- While doing so, remove the retaining tab -arrow B- for the intermediate plate -1- from the opening behind the sealing flange.

-- Position the engine in the "TDC position for cylinder 1". Refer to VALVE TIMING, CHECKING .

-- Remove the oil pan lower section. Refer to OIL PAN LOWER SECTION, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

-- Remove the oil pan upper section. Refer to OIL PAN UPPER SECTION, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

-- Remove the Engine Speed Sensor -G28-. Refer to Engine Speed Sensor -G28-, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

-- Remove the bolts -arrows- for the sealing flange -1-.

-- To press out, install three M6 x 35 bolts -arrows- in the sealing flange -1-.

-- Tighten the bolts alternating a maximum ¹ /₂ turn each in the sealing flange.

-- Remove the sealing flange -1- together with the sensor wheel -2-.

Sealing Flange with Sensor Wheel, Installing 

Installing the : T10134  .

A -  Tension Surface

B -  Nut

C -  Assembly Bell

D -  Locating Pin

E -  Hex Socket Bolt (Quantity: 2)

F -  Guide Pin for Gasoline Engines (Red Handle)

G -  Guide Pin for Diesel Engines (Black Handle)

H -  Knurled Bolts (Quantity: 3)

I -  Inner Panel

Sealing Flange with Sensor Wheel, Securing on : T10134  :

-- Install the nut -B- just up to the tension surface -A- on the threaded spindle.

-- Tension the : T10134  in a vise -1- by the tension surface -A- on the threaded spindle.

-- Push the assembly bell -C- downwards so that it touches the nut -B-.

• The inner part of the assembly tool and assembly bell must be on the same level.

-- If equipped, remove the securing clip -arrow- from the new sealing flange.

-- Place the sealing flange on the front side on a clean level surface.

-- Press the sealing lip support ring -1- downward in direction of -arrow- until it rests on the level surface.

• Sealing lip support ring upper edge -1- and the front edge of the sealing flange -2- must be flush -arrows-.

• The sealing flange must lie flat on the assembly tool.

-- Remove the knurled bolts -H- from the sealing flange -1-.

-- Push the sealing flange -1- and the sealing lip support ring -2- while tightening on the surface of the : T10134  .

-- This way the locating pin can no longer slide out of the sensor wheel hole.

-- Make sure the sensor wheel remains fixed inside the assembly tool when installing the sealing flange.

Secure the : T10134  with the Sealing Flange -1- on the Crankshaft Flange

• The crankshaft flange must be free of oil and grease.
• The engine is at "TDC". Refer to VALVE TIMING, CHECKING .

-- Install the nut -B- up to the end of the threaded spindle.

-- Press the threaded spindle on the : T10134  in direction of -arrow- until the nut -B- touches the assembly bell -C-.

-- Align the flattened side of the assembly bell with the oil pan side sealing surface of the cylinder block.

-- Secure the : T10134  together with the sealing flange -1- on the crankshaft flange -2-.

-- To do this insert the hex socket bolts -E- to approximately five threads on the crankshaft flange with a hex socket wrench.

-- Insert the gasoline engine guide pins (red handle) -F- in the crankshaft flange.

-- Install two M6 x 35 bolts -2- into the cylinder block to guide the sealing flange -1-.

-- Slide the assembly bell -C- in direction of -arrow- by hand until the sealing lip support ring -1- touches the crankshaft flange -2-.

-- Check if the guide pin for gasoline engines (red handle) -F- is seated correctly in the crankshaft hole. Thereby the sensor wheel is retained in the final installation position.

-- Tighten both hex socket bolts on the assembly tool hand-tight.

-- Install the nut -B- far enough onto the threaded spindle by hand until it touches the assembly bell -C-.

Installing the Sensor Wheel on the Crankshaft Flange with the : T10134  :

-- Tighten the nut -B- for the : T10134  to 35 Nm.

• After tightening the nut to 35 Nm, a minimal air gap must still be present between the cylinder block and the sealing flange -1-.
