Fitting
wheel centre mountings
VAS 6350/1
Check the bolt hole circle pattern on the wheels.
Prepare
wheel centre mountings
VAS 6350/1
as required.
To do so, secure three wheel bolt adapters to each
wheel centre mounting
VAS 6350/1
to match the hole circle.
Position paddles on both
wheel centre mountings
VAS 6350/1
and secure each paddle with clamping bolt.
Fit
wheel centre mountings
VAS 6350/1
onto wheel bolts on rear wheels.
The
wheel centre mountings
VAS 6350/1
are kept in position by the O-rings in the adapters.
Note
When fitting the
wheel centre mountings
VAS 6350/1
onto the wheels, make sure that they are not mounted on any
“anti-theft”
wheel bolts that might be installed.
Use clamping bolts to adjust paddles so that they are free to move just slightly above the ground. Make sure the paddles can move freely.

Measuring dimension
Switch on
spacing laser
VAS 6350/2
.
The following display will appear.
The display will show how the
spacing laser
VAS 6350/2
should be positioned. Press the appropriate key.
Position at front edge
Position at rear edge
Hold
spacing laser
VAS 6350/2
2
flush with bracket on one side of the calibration unit as shown in illustration.
Spacing laser
VAS 6350/2
2
must make firm contact with bracket.
Briefly press the measurement button.
The laser will switch on.
Laser beam from
spacing laser
VAS 6350/2
2
must hit lower, larger part of paddle
1
.
If this is not the case, position of paddles must be corrected accordingly using clamping bolts on
wheel centre mounting
VAS 6350/1
.
Hold
spacing laser
VAS 6350/2
in locating bracket on
calibration unit
VAS 6350
with one hand while laser beam is visible on paddle.
Now press measurement button briefly to measure distance.
Note down the measured value.
Perform same measuring procedure for rear wheel on other side of
calibration unit
VAS 6350
.
Measured distance value must be identical on both sides.
If values are not identical:
Adjust
calibration unit
VAS 6350
until values on both sides are identical.
When adjusting, make sure that
linear laser
VAS 6350/3
hits centre of Audi rings and spirit level display also remains central. Correct if necessary.
Measuring dimension
H
Measure height of
calibration unit
VAS 6350
: dimension
H
(top edge of platform - floor).
Ensure that
spacing laser
VAS 6350/2
is correctly adjusted (position at front edge).
The display will show how the
spacing laser
VAS 6350/2
should be positioned. Press the appropriate key.
Position at front edge
Position at rear edge
Finally, measure distance from centre of reversing camera lens to wheel contact patch using a commercially available folding rule.
Note the dimension measured.
Now enter measured distance value, height of calibration unit and height of centre of reversing camera lens in
“millimetres”
in vehicle diagnostic tester.
Performing calibration
Vehicle diagnostic tester
is connected.
Select
Diagnosis
mode and start diagnosis.
Select
Test plan
tab.
Select
Own test
then the following options one after the other:
Body
Electrical system
01 - Self-diagnosis compatible systems
6C - Rear-view camera system - J772
6C - Reversing camera system control unit, functions
6C - Calibrate
Further instructions are given by
Vehicle diagnostic tester
during calibration procedure.
WARNING
Make sure no light is reflected on calibration platform.
Reflected light impairs the view of the
reversing camera
R189
and therefore it may be impossible to perform calibration.
