Crankshaft Gear/Sprocket: Service and Repair

Crankshaft Sensor Wheel, Installing

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Torque Wrench (5-50 Nm) (V.A.G 1331)

• Locking fluid (D 154 100 A1)

Procedure

Make sure the crankshaft to sensor wheel contact surface is free of oil and grease.

• After tightening for the second time, the points where the screw heads contact the sensor wheel become so deformed that the screw heads at the crankshaft - 3 - - arrows - and the sensor wheel lies "loosely" under the screws.

• Installation of the sensor wheel is only possible in one position, the bore holes are shifted.






- Apply a thin coat of liquid locking fluid (D 154 100 A1) to the contact surfaces of the crankshaft and sensor wheel for additional security.

- When installing, make sure that mark "VR6" - arrow - aligns with the individual threaded hole on the crankshaft.

- Tighten the new screws lightly by hand.

- Then, tighten the new screw - 1 - to 10 Nm + an additional 90° (1/4) turn.






- Then, tighten the new screws - 2 - to 10 Nm + an additional 90° (1/4) turn.
