Crankshaft flange with Engine speed sensor G28 rotor - remove — VW

🧭 Before you start

Remove the clutch and flywheel, take off the intermediate plate and remove ignition coil N70 to turn the crankshaft to TDC. Lock it with locating pin T10494, remove the engine speed sensor G28 and the flange bolts. Draw the flange and rotor off the crankshaft together with three M6 × 35 mm screws, turning them alternately.

Fits: platform codes 6A1, 6A5

• Timing position: the crankshaft or camshaft is set and locked during this job

Don't miss

• Locating pin T10494 must go fully home; if not, turn one more revolution to TDC.
• Remove G28 before drawing off the flange so the sensor is not damaged.
• Turn the three puller screws alternately, at most half a turn each.
• Flange and rotor come off together; do not separate them on the crankshaft.
