Crankshaft Gear/Sprocket: Service and Repair

Crankshaft Sensor Wheel, Installing

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Torque Wrench (5-50 Nm) (V.A.G 1331)

• Locking fluid (D 154 100 A1)

Make sure the crankshaft and sensor wheel contact surface are free of oil and grease.

• Sensor wheel may only be installed once, since attachment points - arrows - of countersunk screws - 1 - in the sensor wheel - 2 - are so severely deformed after installing the second time that screw heads make contact on the crankshaft - 3 - and sensor wheel lies loosely under the screws.






- Apply a thin coat of locking fluid (D 154 100 A1) to contact surfaces of crankshaft and sensor wheel for additional security.

- When installing, make sure that marking VR6 - arrow - aligns with the single threaded hole.

- Tighten all new securing bolts lightly by hand.

- First, tighten bolt - 1 - to 10 Nm + 90° (1/4) additional turn.






- Tighten the bolts - 2 - to 10 Nm + 90° (1/4) additional turn.
