Note:  
Make sure gauge contact surface is precisely installed and free of oil.  -  Place end gauge on face of pinion shaft.
    
Note:  
For transmissions with drive flange without polygon bearing (   Page 00
-
3 ) use VW385/2 centering disc instead of VW385/3 centering disc 
opposite dial indicator.  -  Remove master gauge and install measuring mandrel into transmission 
housing. 
Dial indicator extension -A- = 6.5 mm long must be installed VW385/3 centering disc faces cover for final drive 
-  Install differential cover and tighten 4 bolts to 22 Nm (16 ft lb).
-  Using adjustable ring, pull 2nd VW385/3 centering disc out as far as 
possible, so mandrel can only just be turned by hand.

Measuring friction torque (check 
measurement)  
     
Notes:  
     
Tapered roller bearings for differential are low-
friction. Measurement of friction torque only has 
a limited use as a check. Correct adjustment is 
only possible by determining the total shim 
thickness "Stotal." 
     Do not lubricate new tapered roller bearings for 
measuring friction torque. The bearings have 
already been treated by a special oil by the 
manufacturer.

Friction torque specified values:  
Note:   -  Install torque gauge 0-600 Ncm -A- on differential.
- Read friction torque.New bearings
