Volkswagen Golf / Golf GTI / Golf Variant. Manual - part 886
– Measure and record the height at all four wheels.
Note
♦
The Setting Device Basic Set - VAS6430/1- must not be
moved on the calibration beam.
♦
The alignment stand must be in the lowest level position for
the next step.
– Rotate the Setting Device Basic Set - VAS6430/1- upward just
enough so that the calibration beam is parallel to the center of
the measuring sensors on the front wheels, so that it is possi‐
ble to correctly measure the distance measuring unit -1-.
1 - Distance measuring unit with spring tape measure and
mounting pin
– Position the Setting Device Basic Set - VAS6430/1- at a dis‐
tance -a- of 1,500 mm ± 25 mm (59 ± 0.98 in) from the center
of the wheel hub on the front wheels to the beam on the Setting
Device Basic Set - VAS6430/1- .
Caution
♦ Distance -a- 1,500 mm ± 25 mm (59 ± 0.98 in) must be
measured on both side of the vehicle and then the Setting
Device Basic Set - VAS6430/1- must be aligned.
♦ Distance -a- must be the same on both sides of the vehi‐
cle.
– Mount the front wheel measuring sensors -1- to the Setting
Device Basic Set - VAS6430/1- .
– Determine the height value -a- between the Setting Device
Basic Set - VAS6430/1- contact area and the wheel contact
surface on the vehicle alignment platform. Enter it in the align‐
ment computer.
