◆ Vehicles with V6 2.7l bi-turbo engine (S4 and RS4) are fitted with an SAC pressure plate (SAC = self-adjusting clutch) which requires resetting of an adjuster ring if only the clutch plate is replaced.
-
◆ So as not to damage SAC pressure plate on removal and installation, pay attention to assembly specifications for SAC pressure plate
=> Page 30-56.
-
◆ Checking SAC pressure plate for torsion => Page 30-55, Fig.2
-

=> Parts List
-
◆ Clean input shaft splines and - in the case of used clutch plates - hub splines, remove corrosion and apply extremely thin layer of grease G 000 100 to splines. Then move clutch plate back and forth on input shaft until hub moves freely on shaft. Excess grease must be removed.
-
◆ Pressure plates have an anti-corrosion coating and are greased. Only the contact surface may be cleaned, as otherwise the clutch service life will be considerably shortened.
-
◆ To reduce the odour nuisance of a scorched clutch, thoroughly clean bell housing, flywheel and parts of engine facing gearbox.
