Power transmissionComponents
| t
| Thoroughly clean the connection points and their surroundings before releasing. |
| t
| When installing the manual gearbox, ensure the dowel sleeves are correctly located between the engine and gearbox. |
| t
| When installing mounts as well as waxed components, the contact surfaces must be cleaned. Contact surfaces must be free of wax and grease. |
| t
| Filling capacity and specification (Octavia II) → Chapter. |
| t
| Filling capacity and specification (Superb II) → Chapter. |
| Vehicles Octavia ll with four-wheel drive |
| Angle gearbox (four-wheel drive) |
| t
| The angle gearbox is screwed on laterally to the manual gearbox and has its own closed oil circulation system. |
| t
| Inspect gear oil level (top up oil if necessary) → Chapter. |
| t
| If the rear final drive is replaced, inspect the gear oil level (top up oil if necessary) → Chapter as well as the oil level in the Haldex coupling (top up oil if necessary) → Chapter. |
| t
| When installing carriers as well as waxed components, the contact surfaces must be cleaned. Contact surfaces must be free of wax and grease. |

Note | t
| The „Haldex coupling“ is installed 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 „OBR“ is fitted with the „Haldex coupling of the 4th generation“. |
| t
| The rear final drives „02D/0AV“ and „OBR“ have different „Haldex couplings“. |
| Targeted fault finding, Vehicle self-diagnosis and Measuring method |
| Continued for all vehicles |
| 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. |
| O-rings, gasket 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 → Chapter. |
| t
| Do not over-tension the circlips. |
| t
| Circlips must be positioned in the base of the groove. |
|
|
|
| t
| Replace roll pins. Fitting position: Slot -A- longitudinal to power flow -arrow-. |
| 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 all threaded holes into which self-locking screws or screws with locking agent are inserted (using e.g. a thread 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) in the gearbox with gear oil. |
| t
| Heat the inner rings/tapered-roller bearings on a heating plate or with the induction heater unit e.g. -VAS 6414- to approx. 100°C for installing. Install 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 measure the required thickness for each washer very precisely. |
| t
| Inspect for burrs and damage. Install only adjusting washers which are in perfect condition. |
| t
| Do not interchange the synchronizer rings, if re-used assign to the same gear. |
|
|
|
| t
| Check grooves -arrow 1- on synchronizer ring -A-, or check the inside of the ring for flattened parts (grooves worn). |
| t
| When installing the intermediate ring -B-, check outer contact surface -arrow 2- and inner contact surface -arrow 3- for grooves, blue coloring (caused by overheating) and other damages. |
| t
| Insert with some gearbox fluid. |
| t
| Clean and heat with induction heater unit e.g. -VAS 6414- to approx. 100°C before pressing on. |
| t
| The temperature can be checked with a temperature measuring instrument. |
| t
| Check fitting position. |
| t
| Inspect wheels 1st to 6th gear for small axial play or clearance after installation. |
| Damage to sliding gears or sliding sleeves |
|
|
|
| t
| Damage to synchronizer ring or sliding gear |
| A - | Worn tooth pointing of the clutch gearing (engaging gearing) to synchronizer ring or sliding gear. |
|
|
|
| t
| To compare: Synchronizer ring or sliding gear undamaged |
| B - | Undamaged tooth pointing of the clutch gearing (engaging gearing) to synchronizer ring or sliding gear. |
|
|
|
| t
| Damage to the sliding sleeve: |
| C - | Worn tooth pointing of the longitudinal internal serration to the sliding sleeve. |
|
|
|
| t
| To compare: Sliding sleeve undamaged |
| D - | Undamaged tooth pointing of the longitudinal internal serration to the sliding sleeve. |
| t
| If the slave cylinder with connected hydraulic line is removed, do not depress the clutch pedal. Otherwise the tappet is pressed out of the slave cylinder. |
| 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 Octavia II → Chapter, Superb II → Chapter). |
| 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. |
