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) 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.

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

Only check the position of the adjustment mechanism on 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 on a new pressure plate, the pressure plate and clutch disc must not be installed.

On a used clutch, the adjusting ring may take on a position outside of the notches.

- Remove the flywheel retainer (3067) when installing.






- Position the pressure plate on the alignment sleeves.

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

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

- 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.
