Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Flywheel Retainer (3067)

• Centering Mandrel (3190 A)

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

• Grease for Clutch Plate Splines (G 000 100)

Removing

• Remove the transmission.

- Install the Flywheel retainer (3067) to loosen the bolts.

- Loosen the bolt diagonally and in small steps.

- Remove the pressure plate and the clutch disc.

Installing

Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal while observing the following:

• Replace the pressure plate and the clutch disc together. Allocate the pressure plate and the clutch disc according to the engine code. Refer to the Parts Catalog.

• Make sure the alignment sleeves for the engine to transmission are installed in the cylinder block, install them if necessary.

• If the alignment sleeves are missing, it will be difficult to shift, there will be clutch problems and transmission may make noises (loose rattling).

Clutch Plate Installed Position





• "Getriebeseite" (transmission side) faces the transmission.

Checking the Ends of the Diaphragm Spring





• Wear up to half the thickness of the diaphragm spring - arrows - is permitted.

Checking the Spring and Rivet Connections





- Check the spring connections - arrows A - for damage and make sure the rivet connections - arrows B - are tight.

Only Check the Position of the Adjustment Mechanism with a New Pressure Plate





• Both edges - A - of the adjusting ring must be located between both notches - arrows B -.

• If the adjusting ring takes on a different position with a new pressure plate, the pressure plate and clutch disc must not be installed.

• With used clutches, the adjusting ring may take on a position outside of the notches.

• Replace the clutch disc and pressure plate if the rivets are damaged or loose.

• Replace the pressure plate and the clutch disc together.

• Allocate the pressure plate and the clutch disc according to the engine code. Refer to the Parts Catalog.

• To reduce odor caused by a burnt clutch, thoroughly clean the clutch housing, the flywheel and the side of the engine facing toward the transmission.

• Clean the input shaft splines and (on used clutch discs) the hub splines, remove corrosion and apply a very thin coating of grease for clutch plate splines (G 000 100) to the splines. Then, move the clutch disc back and forth on the transmission input shaft until the hub moves freely on the shaft. Remove any excess grease.

• The pressure plate is corrosion-protected and greased. Only the running surfaces may be cleaned, otherwise the service life of the clutch will be shortened considerably.

• The pressure plate contact surface and the clutch disc lining must completely touch the flywheel. Install the bolts.

- Remove the (3067) when installing.





- Position the pressure plate on the alignment sleeves.

- Use the centering mandrel (3190 A) to center the clutch disc.

- Install all the bolts evenly, by hand, until the bolt heads contact the pressure plate.

- Tighten the bolts in small steps and in a diagonal sequence to prevent damaging the centering holes of the pressure plate and the centering pins of the dual mass flywheel.
