Power transmissionComponents
| t
| When installing the manual gearbox, ensure the dowel sleeves are correctly located between the engine and gearbox. |
| t
| When assembling mounts as well as waxed components, the contact surfaces must be cleaned. Contact surfaces must be free of wax and grease. |
| Angle gearbox (four-wheel drive) |
| t
| The angle gearbox is screwed on laterally to the manual gearbox and equipped with its own closed oil supply. |
| t
| Inspect gear oil level (top up oil if necessary) → Chapter. |
| t
| When installing waxed carriers and components, the contact surfaces must be cleaned. Contact surfaces must be free of wax and grease. |

Note | t
| The „Haldex coupling“ is located in the rear final drive. |
| t
| The final drive and the „Haldex coupling“ have separate oil circulation systems. |
| t
| The final drives „02D/0AV“ are fitted with the „Haldex coupling of the 2nd generation“. |
| t
| The final drive „0BR“ is fitted with the „Haldex coupling of the 4th generation“. |
| t
| The rear final drives „02D/0AV“ and „0BR“ have different „Haldex couplings“. |
| Targeted fault finding, Vehicle self-diagnosis and Measuring method |
| t
| Before repairing the Haldex coupling, try to determine the origin of the damage as accurately as possible using the → Vehicle diagnostic tester in the functions „Targeted fault finding“, „Vehicle self-diagnosis“ and „Measuring method“. |
| t
| Thoroughly clean the contact surfaces of the housing before applying the silicone sealant. |
| t
| Apply sealant AMV 188 200 03 evenly and not too thick. |
| Gasket rings, O-rings, gaskets |
| t
| After removing gaskets, check the contact surface in the housing or shaft for burrs or damage which occured during the assembly. |
|
|
|
| t
| Radial shaft seals - before mounting lightly oil at outside diameter and fill half the space between the sealing lips -arrow- with sealing grease -G 052 128 A1-. |
| t
| The open side of the sealing rings is turned towards the fluid to be sealed. |
| t
| Press in new gasket ring in such a way that the sealing lip is not located on the same point as the sealing lip of the old gasket ring (use tolerance for insertion depth). |
| t
| Before inserting lightly oil the O-rings, in order to prevent the rings being squashed during installation. |
| t
| Inspect the oil level after replacing the gaskets and gasket rings. |
| t
| Do not over-tension the circlips. |
| t
| Circlips must be positioned in the base of the groove. |
|
|
|
| t
| Replace roll pins. Fitting location: slot longitudinally to power flow. |
| t
| Slacken the bolts and nuts against the tightening sequence. |
| t
| Slacken and tighten screws or fixing nuts of covers and housings without tightening sequence diagonally across in stages. |
| t
| Replace the self-locking screws and nuts. |
| t
| Tightening torques apply for non-oiled nuts and bolts. |
| t
| Clean the threaded holes into which self-locking screws or screws with locking agent were screwed in (using e.g. a screw-tap). Otherwise there is a risk that the bolts will shear at the next disassembling. |
| t
| It is important to ensure at all bolted connections that the contact surfaces as well as the nuts and bolts are waxed only after being installed, should this be necessary. |
| t
| New taper roller bearings are fitted as supplied and do not require any additional lubrication. |
| t
| Insert moist all bearings (except taper roller bearings) into the gearbox with gear oil. |
| t
| Before installing, heat the inner rings of the tapered-roller bearings on a heating plate or with an induction heater unit, e.g. -VAS 6414-, to approx. 100°C. Press on axial and play-free up to the stop. |
| t
| Do not mix up the outer and inner races of bearings of the same size. |
| t
| Always jointly replace tapered-roller bearings on the same shaft and use products of the same manufacturer. |
| t
| Position needle bearing with the lettered side (thicker end) towards the drift pin. |
|
|
|
| t
| Gauge shims at several points with a micrometer. Different tolerances allow to select the required thickness for each washer very precisely. |
| t
| Inspect for burrs and damage. |
| t
| Install only adjusting washers which are in perfect condition. |
| t
| These are not interchangeable. If re-using, allocate synchronizer rings to the same sliding gear. |
|
|
|
| t
| Check grooves -arrow 1- on synchronizer ring -A- or inner ring for flattened parts (grooves are worn). |
| t
| On the installed intermediate ring -B-, check outer -arrow 2- or inner -arrow 3- contact surface for traces of scoring and friction. |
| t
| Check the cone of the sliding gear for traces of scoring and friction. |
| t
| Oil with gear oil before installing. |
| Gear pinions and synchronizer body |
| t
| Clean and heat on a heating plate or with the induction heater unit e.g. -VAS 6414- to approx. 100°C before pressing on. |
| t
| Install axial and play-free up to the stop. |
| t
| Check fitting position. |
| t
| Inspect wheels 1st to 6th gear for small axial play or clearance after installation. |
| t
| Do not tilt the clutch pressure plate; release and tighten crosswise in small stages. |
| t
| If the clutch pedal does not return to its initial position after the coupling procedure - clutch pedal in home position - the clutch control must be bled (further measures → Chapter). |
| t
| In order to reduce unpleasant odours if the clutch is burnt, thoroughly clean the clutch housing as well as the flywheel and the engine on the side of the gearbox. |
