Checking ends of diaphragm spring l  Wear up to half the thickness of the diaphragm spring -arrows- is permissible.   Note When performing repairs always match up clutch pressure plate and clutch plate by checking engine code → Electronic parts catalogue.

Checking springs and riveting I -  Springs OK l  Slight kinking on the outside -arrows A- is normal on production parts. II -  Springs damaged l  Renew pressure plate if springs are broken or badly bent -arrow B-.

–  Check that riveting -arrows B- is secure at all springs -arrows A-. l  Renew pressure plate if rivets -arrows B- are loose.

Checking wire ring –  Check that wire ring in pressure plate -arrow- is not damaged. l  Renew pressure plate if wire ring is broken.

Removing dual-mass flywheel   Caution Do not use an impact wrench or pneumatic wrench to remove bolts -B-: this would severely damage the dual-mass flywheel. Bolts -B- must always be removed by hand. –  Rotate dual-mass flywheel -A- so that the bolts are aligned centrally behind the holes -arrows-. –  When removing the bolts, make sure that none of the bolt heads contacts the dual-mass flywheel, as this would damage the flywheel when the bolts are unscrewed further. –  Removing and installing dual-mass flywheel → Rep. gr.13.
