Parts, cleaning and checking - Before assembly, the housing must be checked for contamination (paint residue, chips, dirt) and clean
thoroughly with compressed air and alcohol if
necessary
- Check cylinder race for scoring or other damage. If scoring can be felt, replace the complete steering
gear
- Clean toothed rod (remove old grease in tooth
pockets) Page 68 of 99Steering12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.48.1

Checking toothed rod for scoring
If corroded areas or deep scratches are
noticeable on the toothed rod, the toothed rod
must be replaced An evaluation of whether the toothed rod was
damaged by force, e.g. by an accident, is not possible
with this visual inspection
After sanding, lubricate toothed rod lightly
If the old toothed rod is used again, check the sealing
ring for scoring (visual inspection). If there is scoring
that can be seen or felt, the sealing ring and the O-
ring under it must be replaced. - Sand toothed rod with sand paper in radial
direction (this is only possible with slight scoring)
- Check chamfer on the front sides of the toothed
rod for damage, if necessary remove with fine
grinding stone and/or sandpaper
1 - Toothed rod 2 - Sand paper (grain 350-600) Page 69 of 99Steering12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.48.1

Sealing ring on toothed rod, replacing When the sealing rod is replaced it must be replaced
with a new one of the same color
Note the matching of the O-ring to the sealing ring - Press pliers together with slight pressure on the
sealing ring
- Pry out sealing ring and O-ring A - Needle nose pliers (standard commercial) O-ring 30.0 x 1.78/ white sealing ring O-ring 31.0 x 1.5/black sealing ring - Slide mounting sleeve 3315/19 onto toothed rod - Pull O-ring over the tool and insert in the groove of

No grease must get into the oil circulation system! - Grease teeth of toothed rod with AOF 063 000 04
grease
- Slide protective tube over toothed rod to stop - Wipe away excess grease completely When sliding, make sure that the sealing ring is
pressed into the groove of the piston without
jamming - Coat piston of toothed rod and protective tube with
hydraulic oil
