Clutch, Sachs

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)

Requirement:

• The transmission is removed.

Removing

- Install the flywheel retainer (3067) in order to loosen the bolts.

- Loosen the bolts diagonally and in small steps.






• When loosening, the stop - 2 - and the bolt - 1 - must loosen up together.

- If the stop does not loosen: Press the pin in the direction of the dual mass flywheel.

- 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.

• Check whether there are alignment sleeves for the engine/transmission in the cylinder block; install if necessary.

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

Clutch Disc 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 between the pressure plate and the cover for cracks and make sure the rivet connections are tight.

- Remove the flywheel retainer (3067) when installing.






When installing, tighten the bolts as follows so the pressure plate does not distort (causing shuddering on acceleration):






- Make sure the stop pin (position sensor) - arrow - moves easily.

• When doing this, the stop pin - arrow - must lift off from the pressure plate.

- Position the pressure plate on the alignment sleeves.

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

- 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 alignment sleeves of the dual mass flywheel.
