Volkswagen Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

• ‒ → Tighten bearing body with 3155 to 150 Nm as far as the stop and secure.
• ‒ Tighten adjusting ring to 50 Nm and mark.

Note:

When performing measurement, do not turn differential otherwise the bearings will settle and the result of the measurement will be falsified.

• ‒ Turn adjusting ring on by five locking lugs and secure so that the preload of the taper roller bearings is set.

→ Checking friction torque

A - Torque gauge, commercially available 0...600 Ncm

The friction torque of new taper roller bearings must be 60...80 Ncm greater than at the drive pinion.

Example:

• ‒ Oil bearing beforehand with gear oil.

    1)    Insert the friction torque measured for the drive pinion in the case of used bearings.
