Note:  
     The gauge VW 385/27 can also be used in place 
of the master gauge VW 385/30 (Ro = 59.65 
mm).  
    
Arrangement of measuring equipment when determining dimension "e"  
Note:  
Ensure plate contact surface fits exactly and is free of oil.  -  Place end measuring plate VW 385/17 onto drive pinion head. 
-  Take master gauge off mandrel.
-  Insert mandrel into transmission housing.
 
The centering disc 385/3 faces toward cover for final drive 
-  Fit cover for final drive and tighten 4 bolts to 25 Nm. 
-  Using adjustable ring, pull 2nd centering disc VW 385/2 out as far as 
possible so that mandrel can still just be turned by hand.

Measuring friction torque (check)  
     
Note:  
     
Drive pinion/hollow shaft tapered roller bearings 
are low friction bearings. Therefore the frictional 
torque has only a limited use as a check. 
Correct adjustment is only possible by 
determining the total shim thickness "S
total
." 
     
Do not additionally oil new tapered roller 
bearing to perform the frictional torque 
measurement. These bearings have already 
been treated with a special oil by the 
manufacturer. 
    
Frictional torque specification:  -  Fit torque gauge 0-600 Ncm -A- onto drive pinion. 
B - Socket
-  Insert tensioning sleeve 3116.New bearings
