A4 Quattro Cabriolet V6-3.2L (BKH) (2007)
Pressure Plate: Procedures
Adjuster ring in SAC clutch pressure plate, resetting, 02X, 6-Speed Four-Wheel Drive M/T
Note:
^
"SAC" stands for "Self-Adjusting Clutch".
^
When installing a new clutch plate in conjunction with a used SAC pressure plate, the adjuster ring in the pressure plate has to be reset by turning
it back as far as it will go. If you do not reset the adjuster ring in the pressure plate, the SAC pressure plate will operate with reduced clamping
force, which will cause excessive wear, especially of the clutch plate (clutch will then slip).
^
If the clutch plate is not replaced, it is not necessary to reset the adjuster ring.
^
New SAC pressure plates are pre-set accordingly, and do not have to be reset.
