Clutch kit VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) models – operation, replacement, troubleshooting, and maintenance
In order to avoid cracking and deformation of the parts, the fastening bolts of the clutch cover to the flywheel should be unscrewed according to the certain layout. To see it, service station specialists usually refer to the vehicle technical documentation.
During installation of the clutch kit on the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) car it is important to avoid ingress of dust, dirt and oil on the friction linings of the component, as this increases abrasive wear-out of contacting surfaces thus lowering clutch efficiency.
In the process of work, it is very important to control the proper position of the centering arbor, otherwise difficulties can occur at gearbox installation.
If the clutch release bearing has a metal sleeve, its guide should be treated with special greasing compound, and excessive grease is removed. As for plastic sleeve, grease is not necessary. A spline part of the gearbox input shaft also should be greased before installation of the clutch disk.
During installation of the clutch on the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) car you need to check condition of the engine and gearbox gaskets, and replace them if they are leaking. Otherwise operability of the clutch can be violated due to oiling of the friction linings.
Surface of the engine and clutch pressure plate should be de-oiled using a special agent, and then wiped with a dry clean cloth, in order to ensure reliable contact of the parts.
The fastening bolts should be tightened with the certain torque indicated in the technical documentation. It is also recommended to replace them at installation of a new clutch kit.
AUTODOC recommends you to necessarily perform the following actions after replacement of clutch kit on VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) car
Check tightness of hydraulic clutch actuation system on the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) car, check the level of brake fluid in the tank. Top it up to the needed level if necessary, and then bleed air from the clutch actuation system. Defectiveness of the hydraulic actuator can become the cause of incomplete disengagement of the clutch, which leads to abrasion and burning-out of the friction linings.
Adjust the pedal travel according to the instructions provided by the car manufacturer in the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) car technical documentation. Due to excessive travel, the clutch fails to disengage completely, due to insufficient travel – undergoes high loads, which reduces lifetime of the unit.
