01A, 5 SPD. M/T (AWD)

Measure radial play at flange/driveshaft and mark, 01A, 5 SPD. M/T (AWD)

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Dial gauge holder VW 387:

^ Dial gauge
^ Bolt M10�85

Note:
^ Radial run-out must always be measured if the flange driveshaft at rear final drive was removed. Make new color marking and remove old color marking.
^ If a new driveshaft is installed and the color marking on the drive flange of the rear final drive is no longer visible, location of largest radial run-out must be determined and marked with a color marking.
^ Align this colored dot with colored dot on driveshaft.
^ Radial run-out can also be measured with the rear final drive installed, for this the driveshaft must be disconnected from the rear final drive. See notes Driveshaft, servicing.





^ Attach dial gauge holder VW 387 with dial gauge to connection between crossmember and final drive.
^ Set dial indicator onto ground diameter - arrow - in driveshaft flange and set to "0" with 1 mm preload.
^ Turn differential via both rear wheels (right and left drive flanges) in one direction until driveshaft flange has made one complete revolution.
^ Mark largest radial run-out on outer edge of flange (equivalent to largest distance from turning axis).
^ Remove old marking on driveshaft flange.





^ When installing driveshaft, markings on flange for driveshaft - arrow A - and for rear final drive - arrow B - must line up.
^ Install driveshaft
