Checking and resetting adjuster ring of self-adjusting pressure plate in LUK clutches (vehicles with 6-cylinder engines)

Special tools and workshop equipment required

t	Press tool -VW 412-

t	Thrust pad -3062-

–	Return adjuster ring to stop if:

t	a new clutch plate is installed together with a used self-adjusting pressure plate,

or if

t	the -springs- of a new pressure plate are not compressed to the “block”.

If the adjusting ring is not reset, clutch pressure will be reduced and cause an increase in clutch plate wear.

If the clutch plate is not renewed, do not reset the adjusting ring.

–	Insert three pressure plate securing bolts -A- offset by 120° in securing holes of pressure plate, as shown in the diagram.

–	Turn the three nuts -B- M8 onto bolts -A- and tighten nuts.

–	Place pressure plate on workshop press so that just the 3 bolt heads -arrows- make contact.

–	Centre thrust pad -3062- in middle of pressure plate.

Do not use excessive force for the following work or the adjuster ring forks may break off.

–	Apply two screwdrivers to pins on adjusting ring.

–	Press down on pressure plate with press until adjusting ring can just be moved.

–	Using the two screwdrivers, turn back adjusting ring evenly in direction of arrows to stop.

–	Hold adjusting ring against stop and reduce pressure exerted by the press so that adjusting ring is held in this position.
