E - Checking sender wheel installation position on crankshaft — VW

🧭 Before you start

Back off the assembly tool, remove its bolts and knurled screws, then the tool and the sealing lip support ring. Measure the gap between crankshaft flange and sender wheel; it must be 0.5 mm, otherwise re-press the sender wheel. Tighten the new sealing flange bolts diagonally and alternately (15 Nm on the version shown, 10 or 12 Nm on some), fit the engine speed sender G28 at 5 Nm, then refit the sump, intermediate plate and flywheel with new bolts at 60 Nm plus 90 degrees.

Fits: VW CC (358, 2012–2017)

• Special tools named: VAS 6095, feeler gauge

Don't miss

• The sender wheel is correctly positioned only when the gap to the crankshaft flange is 0.5 mm.
• Use a ruler and feeler gauge if the engine support leaves no room for a caliper gauge.
• Sealing flange bolts are new and tightened diagonally and alternately to the value for that engine.
• Flywheel bolts are renewed and tightened to 60 Nm plus a further quarter turn (90 degrees).
• Engine speed sender G28 bolt takes only 5 Nm.

📋 Procedure

1. Screw on hexagon nut (E) until it reaches end of threaded spindle.
2. Unscrew 2 bolts (A) from cylinder block.
3. Unscrew 3 knurled screws (B) out of sealing flange.
4. Unscrew two hexagon socket head bolts of assembly tool again.
5. Remove assembly tool T10134.

6. Remove sealing lip support ring.
7. The sender wheel is in the correct installation position on the crankshaft if a gap (a) = 0.5 mm exists between crankshaft flange (A) and sender wheel (B).
8. Place caliper gauge on crankshaft flange.
9. Measure distance - a - between crankshaft flange and sender wheel. [Note: If the engine and gearbox support VAS 6095 does not provide the necessary space, the ruler T40100 should be placed on the crankshaft flange and the distance determined with a feeler gauge.]
10. Re-press sender wheel .
11. Tighten new sealing flange securing bolts diagonally and alternately to 15 Nm. — 15 Nm (11 lb-ft)
12. Install engine speed sender G28(arrow) and tighten fastening bolt to 5 Nm. — 5 Nm (3.7 lb-ft)
13. Install sump .
14. Install intermediate plate.
15. Install flywheel with new bolts. Tighten securing bolts to 60 Nm + 1/4 turn (90°) further. — 60 Nm (44 lb-ft)
