A6 Quattro Sedan V6-2.7L Turbo (APB) (2000)
1st measurement 0.28 mm
+ 2nd measurement 0.30 mm
+ 3rd measurement 0.30 mm
+ 4th measurement 0.28 mm
= Sum of measured values 1.16 mm
Result: The average backlash is 1.16 - 4 = 0.29 mm
Determining thickness of shim "S2"
Formula:
"S2" = "S2*" - backlash + lift
Example:
Inserted shim "S2*" 1.00 mm
- Average backlash 0.29 mm
+ Lift (constant) 0.15 mm
= Thickness of shim "S2" 0.86 mm
-
Determine shim as accurately as possible from table.
The following shims are available for "S2"
1. Using the shim tolerance variations it is possible to find the exact shim thickness required, insert two shims if necessary.
Determining thickness of shim "S1"
Formula:
"S1" = "Stotal" "S2"
Example:
Total shim thickness "Stotal" 1.80 mm for"S1" + "S2"
- Thickness of shim "S2" 0.86 mm
= Thickness of shim "S1" 0.94 mm
-
Determine shim(s) as accurately as possible from table. Part numbers
