Install
Installation is performed in the reverse order, pay attention to the following points:
  Note
t  Always replace pressure plate and clutch disc together.
t  Assign the pressure plate and clutch disc in accordance with the engine identification characters via the → Electronic catalogue of original parts.
   
Fitting location of clutch disc
l  Legend „side of gearbox“ points to the gearbox.
  S30-0123
Check the extremities of the membrane springs
l  Wear is allowed up to half the membrane spring thickness -arrows-.
  S30-0124
Check feather joints and riveted joints
–  Check feather joints -arrows A- for damage as well as riveted joints -arrows B- for firm seating.
  S30-0151
Check position of adjustment mechanism on new pressure plates
t  Both edges -A- of the adjusting ring must be located between the pair of notches -B-.
t  If the adjusting ring of the new pressure plate is located at a different position, the pressure plate with the clutch disc must not be installed.
t  On used clutches the adjusting ring may also be located at a different position outside the notches.
  Note
t  Replace the clutch discs and pressure plate if the riveting is damaged or loose.
t  In order to reduce unpleasant odours if the clutch is burnt, thoroughly clean the clutch bell as well as the flywheel and the engine on the side of the gearbox.
t  Clean the drive shaft serration and hub serration on a used clutch disc, remove corrosion. Apply a very thin layer of grease -G 000 100- onto the serration. Subsequently move the clutch disc up and down on the drive shaft until the hub fits smoothly on the shaft. Remove all excess grease.
t  The pressure plates are protected against corrosion and are greased. Only clean the thrust surface as otherwise the life of the clutch may be considerably reduced.
t  The thrust surface of the pressure plate and the clutch disc lining must fully rest against the flywheel before the screws are inserted. Only then may the fixing screws be inserted.

–  When installing, re-use the counterholder -MP1-223 (3067)- for tightening the screws.
–  Place the pressure plate onto the centering pins.
–  Use the centering mandrel -MP3-475A (3190A)- for centering the clutch disc.
In order to avoid a deformation of the pressure plate when installing it (this leads to jerking during start-up), the pressure plate must be installed as follows:
–  Screw in all the screws by hand uniformly, until the bolt head rests against the pressure plate.
–  Tighten the screws gradually and crosswise so as not to damage the centering holes of the pressure plate and the centering pins of the flywheel.
–  Tighten all 6 screws gradually to tightening torque → Item
–  Install gearbox (Octavia II) → Chapter.
–  Install gearbox (Superb II) → Chapter.
