Volkswagen Golf / Golf GTI / Golf Variant. Manual - part 530

– Attach the measuring tools to the clutch housing.
In the case of protruding housing edges:
– Place washers (total thickness: 8 mm) under the -VW792-

-arrow-.

– Set the dial gauge (3 mm range) with 1 mm preload to “0”.
– Loosen securing bolts for clutch housing/transmission housing

in diagonal sequence until bolts clear transmission housing

and output shaft.

– Read measured value on dial indicator and note (example:

0.25 mm).

Note

♦

The measured value will not be displayed when loosening the

bolts that connect the clutch housing to the transmission hous‐

ing.

♦

Install a 1.95 mm shim or, if necessary, a 2.20 mm shim in

place of the 1.70 mm shim for measuring.

♦

For the correct adjusting shim. Refer to the Parts Catalog.

Determining the Shim
The required bearing tension is reached as follows:
The specified bearing pre-load is reached when determined

measured value (0.25 mm) is subtracted from inserted shim (1.70

mm).
A constant figure of (0.20 mm) is added to the reading.
Example

Inserted shim

1.70 mm

- measured value

0.25mm

+ Preload (constant value)

0.20 mm

= Shim thickness

1.65 mm

– Select the correct shim thickness according to the table. Refer

⇒ page 193

– Remove the transmission housing and remove the tapered

roller bearing outer race from the transmission housing.

A - Counter Support , for example, -22/2-
B - Internal Puller 46 to 58 mm , for example, -21/7-
– Remove the inserted shim (1.70 mm) from the transmission

housing.

– For the correct part numbers. Refer to the Parts Catalog.
Tolerance variations make it possible to find the exact shim thick‐

ness required.

– Install the outer race/tapered roller bearing with the selected

shim (in the example: 1.65 mm) Support transmission housing

directly beneath bearing mount using -2050- .

Checking Measurement
• The selected adjusting shim is installed.

– Attach the measuring tools to the clutch housing.
In the case of protruding housing edges:
– Place washers (total thickness: 8 mm) under the -VW792-

-arrow-.

– Set the dial gauge (3 mm range) with 1 mm preload to “0”.
– Loosen securing bolts for clutch housing/transmission housing

in diagonal sequence until bolts clear transmission housing

and output shaft.

• For correctly selected adjustment shim, dial gauge must now

display a value of 0.15 mm to 0.25 mm.
