Subject:
968 Flywheel



ATTENTION:
Service Manager/Service Technician

Models Affected:
An 968's with manual transmission

Concern:
Holding or turning Dual Mass Flywheel

General Information:





The motronic sensing ring on the 968 Dual Mass Flywheel is pressed on. It is very important that when holding the flywheel or turning the engine by hand, the flywheel should not be held or turned by the motronic sensing ring. If excessive torque is applied to the sensing ring it is possible that the ring could move out of TDC position on the flywheel, resulting in engine performance problems. Special tool 9206/1 or 9538/1 should be used to prevent this from happening.
