Vehicles with Sac Clutch Pressure Plate Audi A4 B6

Mechanical 6 illustrations ~438 words

When installing a new clutch disc in combination with a used SAC pressure plate (self-adjusting pressure plate), the adjustment ring of the pressure plate must be turned back to impact. Otherwise the pressure plate works with decreased contact pressure (clutch slips).

See ADJUSTING SAC PRESSURE PLATE .

If the clutch disc is not replaced, the adjustment ring does not have to be turned back.

New SAC pressure plates are already pre-adjusted and must not be turned back.

  1. Drive plate is bolted to the crankshaft with a centering bushing (arrow).
  2. Use original bolts when securing torque converter to drive plate: see Parts catalog.

When torque converter is installed correctly, distance between lower contact surface of threaded holes at torque converter and contact surface of converter housing on Automatic Transmission 01V is approx. 23 mm.

If the torque converter is not inserted completely, this distance will be approx. 11 mm.

  1. Carefully guide engine into chassis.
  2. Set engine onto engine mounts. WARNING: For vehicles with automatic transmission 01V, keep checking whether the torque converter behind the drive plate can be turned before and during tightening of the bolts at engine/transmission flange. If the torque converter cannot be turned, it must be assumed that it has not been inserted properly and that the coupling plate of the torque converter or the ATF pump will be destroyed during final tightening of the bolts.
  3. Bolt transmission to engine.
  4. Tighten T10062 support on the threaded holes for torque support to 20 Nm.
  5. Lift engine using VAG1383A engine/gearbox jack just far enough so that the lower connecting bolts at engine/transmission can be installed. NOTE: When working on a vehicle with all wheel drive, make sure the front constant velocity joint of driveshaft is not damaged when lifting engine.
  6. Tighten bottom engine/transmission connecting bolts (arrows).
  7. Lower engine again.
  8. Install and align exhaust system tension-free. See «EXHAUST SYSTEM, ALIGNING FREE OF STRESS (FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES)»(ref-197059-S22984853552005101100000) or «EXHAUST SYSTEM, ALIGNING FREE OF STRESS (ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES)»(ref-197059-S41932014202005101100000) .
  9. Install starter. See «STARTER»(ref-166011-S09289758332004091000000) .
  10. Install generator. See «RIBBED BELT FOR VANE PUMP, GENERATOR AND A/C SYSTEM»(ref-197058-S37287965622005101100000) .
  11. Install A/C compressor. See «RIBBED BELT FOR VANE PUMP, GENERATOR AND A/C SYSTEM»(ref-197058-S37287965622005101100000) .
  12. Install ribbed belt. See «INSTALLING»(ref-197058-S06261115542005101100000) .
  13. Install bumper.

  1. Tighten union nut of fuel supply line -1- to 22 Nm.
  2. Secure fuel return line -2- with a hose clamp.

Scheme 84

Scheme 84: Vehicles as of 07.03
  1. Secure fuel hose to connection on fuel rail pipe. To do so, counterhold using an open-end wrench at each hex head -1- and -3- and tighten union nut -2- to 22 Nm.
