Removing

- Remove the steering gear. Refer to => [ Steering Gear ] Steering Gear.

- Clean steering gear in area of steering pinion, screw plug and adjustment screw.

- Tension steering gear using 2 bolts M10 x 80 as depicted in the illustration.






- Remove thrust piece on steering pinion side => [ Thrust Piece, Steering Pinion Side ] Thrust Piece, Steering Pinion Side.

- Turn steering gear with screw plug upward.

• Tie rods must be assembled.

- Remove the screw plug - arrow - and clean thread.






- Remove the hex nut - arrow - from steering pinion.






Steering rack moves up to stop when this is done.

- Turn steering gear with steering pinion upward.

- Remove sensor wire => [ Sensor Wire ] Sensor Wire.

• Sensor wire must be replaced. It is supplied in replacement part set.

- Mark position of steering pinion on steering gear housing.

- Now pull steering pinion with steering torque sensor out of steering gear housing. Secure spiral spring against twisting using e.g. adhesive tape.






• If corrosion, damage, wear-out or first signs of soiling on steering rack can be seen, complete steering gear must be replaced.

• If no grease film is visible on steering rack, steering gear must also be replaced completely.

Installing






- Coat bushing - arrow 1 - and splines of steering pinion - arrow 2 - with (G 052 192 A1).

While doing this, no grease must enter the sensor or its vicinity!

Do not use other grease under any circumstances.

The new steering pinion with Steering Torque Sensor (G269) has an anti-twist element - arrow -. This may only be removed after locking to sensor wire.






Only remove new steering pinion from packaging when it has been assembled.

Prevent contact with electrical components!

- Observe general repair notes => [ Electrical Components ] Service Precautions for this.

- Insert steering pinion into steering gear housing.

- Rotate steering pinion until spiral spring with sensor wire - arrow - can be locked. While doing this, the marking applied during removal must align with steering gear housing.






• Sensor wire must be replaced. It is supplied in replacement part set.

- Pull anti-twist element off the spiral spring.

- Tighten steering pinion with a new hex nut - arrow -.






Steering rack moves up to stop when this is done.

- Fill hollow space of screw plug with grease (G 052 192 A1).

- Apply LOCTITE(R) (5910) sealant all around onto thread of screw plug - arrow - and install screw plug.






- Install sensor wire => [ Sensor Wire ] Sensor Wire.

- Turn steering into straight ahead position using (T10304).






For this purpose, dimension - a - = 25.5 mm.

- Install and adjust thrust piece on steering pinion side => [ Thrust Piece, Steering Pinion Side ] Thrust Piece, Steering Pinion Side.

Tightening specifications, refer to => [ Steering Gear Overview ] Steering Gear Overview

- Steering gear, installing => [ Steering Gear ] Steering Gear.

- Perform vehicle alignment => [ Wheel Alignment ] Wheel Alignment.

- Perform basic setting for steering angle sensor (G85) via vehicle diagnostic tester "Guided Fault Finding".

- Then perform basic setting of steering system via vehicle diagnostic tester "Guided Fault Finding".
