Renewing oil seal for flange shaft (left-side) Special tools and workshop equipment required

t  Used oil collection and extraction unit -V.A.G 1782-

t  Thrust piece -T40164- t  Sealing grease -G 052 128 A1-

Procedure l  Gearbox must be removed and secured to engine/gearbox support in horizontal position → Chapter. –  Place used oil collection and extraction unit -V.A.G 1782- below gearbox. –  Remove flange shaft (right-side) → Chapter. –  Remove bolts -arrows- in diagonal sequence. –  Carefully detach cover for front final drive (gear oil will drain off).   Caution Risk of damage to the differential. t  Detach differential 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 tapered roller bearing races and shims of the differential do not fall out of the gearbox housing and the differential. t  Tapered roller bearing races and shims cannot be re-allocated to their original positions by the workshop if they have dropped out.

–  Carefully remove differential -arrow- and set it down on a soft surface.

–  Remove flange shaft (left-side) → Chapter.   Caution Risk of damage to fitting surface in gearbox housing. Apply screwdriver with care. –  Press out oil seal from rear side using a screwdriver.

–  Lightly oil outer circumference of new oil seal and slide onto thrust piece -T40164-. l  Open side of oil seal faces towards thrust piece -T40164-. –  Drive in oil seal for flange shaft (left-side) as far as stop using thrust piece -T40164-; keep seal straight when installing. –  Pack space between sealing lip and dust lip half-full with sealing grease -G 052 128 A1-. –  Fit differential.

–  Renew O-ring -A- on cover for front final drive and lubricate lightly with gear oil.

–  Install cover for front final drive with new O-ring and tighten bolts to specified torque → Fig.. –  Install flange shaft (left-side) → Chapter. –  Install flange shaft (right-side) → Chapter. –  Before installing gearbox, front final drive must be pre-filled with gear oil → multitronic 0AW, front-wheel drive; Rep. gr.39.   Caution Risk of damage to gearbox t  Different types of gear oil are available for the „multitronic 0AW“ gearbox. t  Use only the correct type of gear oil, as assigned to the gearbox code letters. t  The gear oils must NOT be mixed, even in small quantities. This would result in leaks at the oil seals. Select correct gear oil for vehicle according to gearbox code letters → Electronic parts catalogue. Only the gear oil available as a replacement part for the „multitronic 0AW“ may be used in the front final drive. t  The filler plug must always be renewed after checking the oil level. Always select correct type according to gearbox code letters in → Electronic parts catalogue. To prevent leaks on the gearbox, please check the new filler plug by comparing it with the old one. t  The gear oil must NOT be mixed with other types of gear oil, even in small quantities. This would cause leakage on the gearbox. –  After installing gearbox, check gear oil level in front final drive and correct as necessary → multitronic 0AW, front-wheel drive; Rep. gr.39.
