Note: 2 rods "T10486/1" are included in the set of the device "T10486". If the enterprise has the device "T10486", only two more rods "T10486/1" are needed. The set of the device -T10486 A- includes 4 guide rods "T10486/1" and 2 guide rods "T10486/2".
Remove the noise-insulating casing, unscrew the bolts "1" of the lower support of the power unit.
Place the engine and transmission jack "VAG 1383A" under the subframe. Place a wooden block "1" between the jack "VAG 1383A" and the subframe.
Unscrew the bolts of the supports "1" and "2". To fix the position of the subframe, alternately screw in the guide rods at the points "3", "5", "7" and "8".
Note: The "T10486/1" devices must be tightened to a torque not exceeding 20 Nm, otherwise their threads may be damaged.
Remove bolt "3" and replace it with rod "T10486/1", tighten it to a torque of 20 Nm. Remove bolt "5" and replace it with rod "T10486/1", tighten it to a torque of 20 Nm. Remove bolt "8" and replace it with rod "T10486/1", tighten it to a torque of 20 Nm. Remove bolt "7" and replace it with rod "T10486/1", tighten it to a torque of 20 Nm. Now the position of the front suspension is fixed. If it is impossible to insert rods "T10486/1" into the corresponding holes of the subframe, do the following: Finish the hole in the lower subframe, for example, with a file, so that rods "T10486/1" are inserted into the holes. Treat the fitted holes with corrosion protection, e.g. zinc spray -0 007 500 04-.
Installation
Installation in reverse order. Replace the "T10486/1" rods with new bolts one by one. Tighten the bolts to the specified tightening torque. Perform a test drive. Check the position of the steering wheel during the test drive.
Note: If the steering wheel is turned after a test drive in a straight-ahead direction, the wheel alignment must be adjusted.
