Running gearGeneral Remarks
| The vehicle must only be measured with an alignment equipment
recommended and approved by „VOLKSWAGEN“. |
| We recommend measuring the front and rear axle geometry in
each vehicle measurement. |
| Otherwise, the correct vehicle traveling behavior will not
be ensured. |
Note | t
| It is recommended for the vehicle to be aligned only after
1000 to 2000 km have elapsed, because only then the coil spring seating
process is concluded. |
| t
| When performing the adjustment, the values must be the closest
as possible of the nominal specification. |
|
|
|
| Pay attention! The steering wheel and
column have a mark. |
| A - | Mark on the steering wheel |
| B - | Mark on the steering column |
| This is the only way to ensure the gear rack will not be decentralized. |
| Vehicles with Electronic Stability Program „ESP“. |
| –
| If the steering wheel is moved in these vehicles, it is
necessary to check the basic adjustment of the Steering angle
sensor -G85- ⇒ Perform basic adjustment with theDiagnosis, Measurement and Information system → Vehicle diagnostic tester. |
| Steering columns supplied as replacement parts do not present
a punch point. |
| After the vehicle alignment and the subsequent test drive,
these steering columns must be marked. |
| t
| the travelling behavior is irregular |
| t
| parts are replaced after involvement in an accident |
