  1. Use needle-nose pliers to dissipate heat at the soldering points (arrows).
  2. Use radio solder and max. 300 W soldering iron.
  3. Desolder stator windings.
  4. Press button for resistance measurement on hand multimeter V.A.G 1526/B.
  5. Connect measuring cables consecutively to measuring points at 1 and 2; 1 and 3; 1 and 4.
  6. Press button for resistance measurement on hand multimeter V.A.G 1526/B.
  7. Route measuring lines consecutively to winding ends at 1 and 2; 1 and 3; 2 and 3.
  8. Simultaneously press buttons for resistance and voltage measurement on hand multimeter V.A.G 1526 B.
  9. Check positive diodes: consecutively connect black terminal to positive heat sink (1) (corresponds to B+) and red terminal to collective points (2).
  10. Check negative diodes: consecutively red terminal to negative heat sink (3) and black terminal to collective points (2).
  11. Check exciter diodes: consecutively black terminal to contact rail (4) (corresponds to D+) and red terminal to collective points (2).

Who makes these pages, and how

TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.

The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.

Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
