What general repair notes apply to the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010 workshop manual?

To ensure flawless and successful gearbox repairs for the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010, the greatest care and cleanliness as well as the use of good and proper tools are essential. The basic rules for safety also apply during repair work.


What should be observed regarding contact corrosion when working on the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010 gearbox?

The gearbox housing and clutch housing for the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010 are made of a magnesium alloy.

Bolts and other components in direct contact with the gearbox have a surface matched to it.

If the incorrect components (bolts, nuts, washers and so on) are used, contact corrosion will develop, damaging the gearbox housing and clutch housing.

Always install parts listed in the Electronic parts catalogue “ETKA”.


What should be ensured when installing the manual gearbox on the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010?

When installing the manual gearbox on the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010, ensure that the dowel sleeves between the engine and gearbox are correctly seated.

When installing mounting brackets or waxed components, clean the contact surfaces. Contact surfaces must be free of wax and grease.

Allocate bolts and other components using the Electronic parts catalogue “ETKA”.

Following installation, check gear oil level.


What is the procedure for O-rings, seals, gaskets and sealants on the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010?

Thoroughly clean housing joint surfaces before applying sealant.

Apply sealant -AMV 188 200 03- uniformly but not too thick.

Always renew O-rings, seals and gaskets.

When seals have been removed, check contact surface on housings or shafts for burrs and damage and rectify as necessary.

Before installing radial shaft seals, lightly oil outer diameter and half-fill space between sealing lips -arrow- with sealing grease -G 052 128 A1- .

The open side of the oil seal faces the side with fluid filling.

Press in new oil seals so that sealing lip does not contact the shaft in the same place as the old seal (make use of insertion depth tolerances).

Lightly oil O-rings before installing; this prevents the rings being crushed when inserted.

After renewing seals and gaskets, check oil level in gearbox and replenish if necessary.


What should be observed regarding locking devices on the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010?

Do not overstretch retaining rings.

Always renew retaining rings which have been damaged or overstretched.

Retaining rings must locate properly in grooves.

Renew spring pins. Installation position: slit -A- should be in line with the line of force -arrow-.


What are the guidelines for nuts and bolts when working on the gearbox of a VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010?

Loosen and tighten securing bolts and nuts for covers and housings diagonally.

Do not cant especially delicate parts, such as clutch pressure plates. Loosen and tighten bolts and nuts in stages in a diagonal sequence.

Torque settings are specified for unoiled bolts and nuts.

Always renew self-locking bolts and nuts.

Ensure with threaded connections that contact surfaces as well as nuts and bolts are rewaxed only after assembly, if necessary.

Threads of bolts secured with locking fluid must be cleaned with a wire brush. Then insert bolts with locking fluid -AMV 185 101 A1- .

Clean threaded holes in which self-locking bolts or bolts with locking fluid have been inserted, e.g. with a thread chaser. Otherwise there is a danger that the bolts may shear when removed again.


What are the instructions for installing bearings on the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010 gearbox?

Install needle bearings with lettered side (thicker metal) towards fitting tool.

Lubricate all gearbox bearings with gear oil before installing.

Tapered roller bearings fitted to one shaft must be renewed as a set. Use same make of bearings.

Heat inner races to about 100° C with the inductive heater -VAS 6414- before installing.

Do not interchange outer or inner races of bearings of the same size. The bearings are matched in pairs.


How should shims be handled when working on the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010 gearbox?

Measure shims at several points with a micrometer. The various thicknesses make it possible to achieve the exact shim thickness required.

Check for burrs and damage.

Install only flawless shims.


What are the guidelines for checking synchro-rings on the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010 gearbox?

Do not interchange. When reusing synchro-rings, always fit to the same gear.

Check for wear and renew if necessary.

Check grooves -arrow 1- of synchro-ring -A- and inner ring for flat spots (worn grooves).

If synchro-rings are coated, coating must not be damaged.

If an intermediate ring -B- is installed, check the outer friction surface -arrow 2- and inner friction surface -arrow 3- of this intermediate ring for scoring and signs of abnormal wear.

Check cone of synchromeshed gear for scoring and signs of abnormal wear.

Moisten synchromesh mechanism with gear oil before installing.


What is the procedure for handling gears, synchro-hubs, and inner races for synchromeshed gears on the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010 gearbox during assembly?

Heat inner races for synchromeshed gear to about 100° C with the inductive heater -VAS 6414- before installing.

Heat synchro-hub with inductive heater -VAS 6414- to approx. 100 °C before installing. Press in to stop when installing so there is no axial clearance.

Heat gears with inductive heater -VAS 6414- to approx. 100 ° C before installing. Press in to stop when installing so there is no axial clearance.

What is the procedure for adjusting the differential on the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010?

Press tapered roller bearing outer race with washer into clutch housing.

Note:

Observe installation position of washer.

Shoulder on inner circumference faces seal in clutch housing.

Press tapered roller bearing outer race, without shim, into gearbox housing.

Fit differential into clutch housing.

Fit gearbox housing and tighten 5 bolts to specified torque Item 11 (page 130) and Item 12 (page 130) .

Press differential in direction of clutch housing while turning it eight times.

Press differential in direction of gearbox housing while turning it eight times.

Attach dial gauge and set to „0“ with 1 mm preload.

A – 30 mm dial gauge extension

Move differential up and down. Read and note play indicated on dial gauge. (Example: 0.70 mm)


How is the thickness of the shim determined for adjusting the differential on the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 2010?

The specified bearing preload is obtained by adding a constant value for preload (0.25 mm) to the reading obtained.

Example:

Measured value 0.70 mm

+ Preload (constant) 0.25 mm

Thickness of shim = 0.95 mm

Remove gearbox housing.

Pull tapered roller bearing outer race out of gearbox housing.

A – Counter support , e.g. -Kukko 22/2-

B – Internal puller, 46 … 58 mm , e.g. -Kukko 21/7-

Determine part number of shim according to Electronic parts catalogue „ETKA“ .

Insert shims of determined thickness, thickest shim first.

The following shims are available:

Shim thickness (mm)
0.65 0.85 1.05 1.25
0.70 0.90 1.10
0.75 0.95 1.15
0.80 1.00 1.20

If the size of shim required is larger than those listed in the table, insert two shims totalling the correct figure. When using two shims, install the thicker one first.

The various thicknesses make it possible to achieve the exact shim thickness required.
