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 fluid (D 154 100 A1)

Procedure

Make sure the crankshaft/sensor wheel contact surface is free of oil and grease.

• After tightening the screws for a second time, the points - arrows - where the heads of the countersunk screwed make contact with the sensor wheel become so deformed that the screw heads at the crankshaft - 3 - and the sensor wheel lie loosely under the bolts.

• The sensor wheel can only be installed in one position. The holes are offset.





- Apply a thin coat of locking compound (D 154 100 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 individual threaded hole.

- Tighten all new bolts lightly by hand.

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





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