Remedy:

In case of complaint please clarify in detail whether vehicle in 
charge suffered or suffers from a front crash. 

If so it might have happened that due to the crash the compressor 
housing of the T/C might be touched by the radiator fan, etc. 
causing a mismatch of the T/C. 

Please find attached a procedure how to check the T/C regarding a 
possible mismatch:

a.) Connect vacuum pump (Mity vac, KM-667) to T/C actuator and apply 
    vacuum for about 600 mbar.

b.) In this condition the lever must touch the bar, no gap allowed.

c.) Check condition visually as well as with a proper gauge.

A condition as shown in the attached picture is not allowed and 
requires a replacement of the T/C. 

In case the compressor housing is distorted marks from the former 
position of the washer/screw at the housing might be visible.
