Identification





Pressure plate with stop mechanism (position sensor) - arrow -.

Checking ends of diaphragm spring





• Wear up to half the thickness of the diaphragm spring is permitted.

• When performing repairs, always select the correct clutch pressure plate and clutch plate by checking engine code.

Checking spring connection and rivet





- Check spring connections - arrows A - for damage and make sure riveted fastenings - arrows B - are seated tightly.

• Replace pressure plate if spring connections are broken or badly bent, or if riveted fastenings are loose.

Checking wire ring





- Check that wire ring in pressure plate - arrow - is not damaged. Replace pressure plate if wire ring is broken.

Removing dual mass flywheel





• Do not use an impact wrench or pneumatic wrench to remove bolts - B -: this would severely damage the dual-mass flywheel. Bolts - B - must always be removed by hand.

- Rotate flywheel - A - so that bolts - B - are aligned centrally behind holes - arrows -.

- When removing bolts - B -, make sure the bolt heads do not contact flywheel - arrows - because this would damage the flywheel when the bolts are turned further.
