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 Compound (D154 100 A1)

Procedure

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

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





- Apply a thin coat of locking compound (D154 100 A1) to the contact surfaces of the crankshaft and sensor wheel for additional security.

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

- Install the new bolts lightly by hand.

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





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