Special tools and workshop equipment required

t	Used oil collection and extraction unit -V.A.G 1782-, see equivalent → Anchor

t	Extractor -T10037-

t	Mandrel -VW 295-

Detaching l  Gearbox must be fitted –  Remove front left-hand wheel.

–  Release the bolts or quick release fasteners -1... 3- and remove the noise insulation at the front and back.

–  If fitted, remove bolt -1- on soundproofing cover above left drive shaft. –  Disengage retainer -2- and remove soundproofing cover. –  If fitted, unbolt heat shield for drive shaft (left-side). –  Remove left-hand articulated shaft: → Running gear, shafts, steering; Rep. gr.40.

–  Place used oil collection and extraction unit -V.A.G 1782- below gearbox. –  Screw on the bottom support of the extractor -T10037- to the cover of the differential -arrow-.   Note In order to prevent damage to the needle bearings (polygon bearings) or the differential during removal, the flange shaft must be kept straight when removing (pull out evenly). –  Only pull out the left flange shaft using the extractor unit -T10037- far enough so that the bearing on the shaft has been pulled out of the gearbox housing.   Caution Make sure that flange shaft (right-side) is installed before removing cover for front final drive. The differential may otherwise drop out of the gearbox housing.

–  Unscrew the bolts on the cover for the final drive following the sequence -11…1-.   Caution t  Detach cover for front final drive slowly and carefully from gearbox housing. The differential may otherwise fall out of the gearbox. t  A differential which has fallen to the ground can no longer be installed. Renew gearbox if differential has fallen to the ground. t  Make sure that the bearing races and shims for the differential do not drop out of the gearbox housing and the front final drive cover. t  Bearing races and shims cannot be re-allocated to their original positions by the workshop if they have dropped out.

–  Secure differential -arrow- to prevent it falling out.

Installing –  Check that magnet is fitted under plastic cover in cover for front final drive.

–  Renew O-ring -1- in cover for front final drive. –  Make sure cover -2- is securely seated.

–  Check that differential -arrow- is correctly seated in gearbox.

–  Fit cover for front final drive onto gearbox housing. –  Renew all bolts in cover for front final drive. –  If fitted, insert guard plate -B- between cover for final drive and bolt -1-.   Note The guard plate -B- serves to protect the breather hole -arrow A- against the ingress of dirt and water.

Tightening sequence:   Caution t  Fit the three bolts with spacers at the positions shown -arrows-. t  Use only the correct bolts (same as original equipment) → Spare parts catalogue.   Note On certain gearboxes, spacers are not fitted at the points indicated by the -arrows-; in this case make sure to fit the bolts without spacers. –  Tighten bolts securing cover for front final drive in two stages in the sequence shown: 1.  Stage: First screw bolts -1 ... 11- in finger-tight. 2.  Stage: Tighten bolts in the sequence -1 ... 11- to tightening torque in several stages. –  Renewing rotary oil seal for the left flange shaft → Chapter –  Install flange shaft (left-side) → Chapter. –  Fill up with gear oil and check gear oil level in front final drive → Chapter.   Caution The gear oil required for the multitronic 01J gearbox is different from the oil used in fixed-ratio automatic gearboxes. Only the gear oil available as a replacement part for the multitronic may be used in the front final drive → Electronic spare parts catalogue. Tightening torque
