| Removing and installing „two-piece“ propshaft (up to 05.07) |
| Special tools and workshop equipment required |
| t
| Engine/gearbox jack, e.g. -V.A.G 1383/A- |
Note | t
| The two-piece propshaft was installed until 05.07. The front propshaft pipe can be separated from rear propshaft pipe. |
| t
| The two-piece propshaft was modified as of production date 06.07 (screws in the centre are no longer present). The front propshaft pipe cannot be flanged off from rear propshaft pipe as of this date, therefore the whole propshaft must be replaced as a part. |
| t
| Work on the propshaft should be carried out on a two-pillar lift platform. |
| t
| Before the removal, mark the position of all parts to each other. Carry out the installation again in the same position, otherwise the imbalance is too great, damages to the bearing and humming noises could occur. |
| t
| Do not bend the propshaft, only store extended and transport. |
