Door, Adjusting

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Door adjusting wrench (3320)

• Joint for 3320 (3320/1)

• Box wrench (3320/2)

• Box wrench (3320/3)

• Torque wrench 5 to 50 Nm (V.A.G 1331)

• Adjustment gauge (3371)






• The vehicle must be standing on its wheels in order to adjust the front door.

• The front door is adjusted properly when it has an even gap dimension overall when closed, it does not rest too far in or out and the contours align.

• Check the gap dimensions.

• Perform corrosion protection measures on the hinge and bolts after assembly or adjusting work.

To adjust the gap dimensions correctly, remove the bolts - 3, 5, and 6 - from the A-pillar. Remove the A-pillar lower trim to access the bolt - 6 -:.

Other measures, such as aligning the door upward, are not effective. Excess pressure thereafter will again cause the door to sag.

The bolts- 2 and 4 - must be loosened in order to correctly adjust the flush dimension.

For this, the door adjusting wrench (3320) with the bit insert (3320/3) is used.
