Hydraulic unit, removing and installing

Note:
For easier disassembling and assembling, it is
more practical to remove the hydraulic unit
complete with brake servo and brake master
cylinder.

Removing

- Disconnect battery Ground (GND) strap.
- Separate all electrical connections on ABS
unit.

- Remove as much brake fluid as possible from
brake fluid reservoir using a suction bottle.

- Disconnect brake lines from ABS hydraulic unit
and seal threaded holes with plugs from repair
kit, Part No. 1HO 698 311.

- Remove left-hand trim under instrument
panel.

- Disconnect brake pedal from brake servo unit

- Remove nuts from brake servo/bulkhead.
- Carefully remove hydraulic unit and brake servo
with brake master cylinder from engine
compartment.

Installing

Note:
Hydraulic units supplied as replacement parts
are already filled with hydraulic fluid and bled.
Only remove sealing plugs on hydraulic unit
when the relevant brake line is going to be
connected.
If the sealing plugs are removed too early,
brake fluid can escape, it is then no longer
guaranteed that the unit is sufficiently filled or
adequately bled.

- Preassemble hydraulic unit and brake servo with tandem master cylinder away from vehicle.

- Secure hydraulic unit, brake servo with tandem
master cylinder to bulkhead.

- Connect brake lines.
- Reconnect all electrical connections on ABS unit (ensure correctly connected).

- Bleed brake system Page 47-27 .
- Install left-hand trim under instrument panel. Page 7 of 10Assembly overview - hydraulic unit, brake servo/brake master cylinder12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.45.4

Installing

Note: When installing new circlip ensure opening is
uppermost - installation position (arrow).
- Install new sealing ring to sensor. (Coat sealing
ring with lubricant e.g. soft soap). Note: - Sensor notch must point downward when inserting
into brake servo and be heard to engage.
- Connect sensor unit connection and ensure
correctly located. To ensure correctly seated pull senor by hand. Leaks at the sensor sealing ring, result in
insufficient braking vacuum and poor engine
idling. For ease of illustration, shows installing the
sensor with brake fluid reservoir removed. Page 10 of 10Assembly overview - hydraulic unit, brake servo/brake master cylinder12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.45.4

Front brakes,
servicing (Girling
caliper)
Note: After replacing brake pads,
depress brake pedal firmly
several times with vehicle
stationary so that the brake
pads are properly seated in
their normal operating
position. To remove brake fluid from
the reservoir, use a bleeder
bottle which is used only for
brake fluid. Brake fluid is
poisonous and must on not
be siphoned by mouth
using a hose! Wheel bolt tightening

Installing

Note:
Before inserting new brake pads, press piston
back into the cylinder with resetting tool. Before
pressing the piston back, remove some brake
fluid from the reservoir with a bleeder bottle. If
reservoir has been topped up, fluid may overflow
and cause damage. Note: - Press piston back. - Install brake pads. - Swing brake caliper housing down and tighten bolt. The repair kit contains two self-locking bolts which must always be installed. After replacing the brake pads, depress brake
pedal firmly several times with the vehicle
stationary so that the brake pads are properly
seated in their normal operating position. Page 7 of 7Front brakes, servicing (Girling caliper)12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.46.1
