Vehicle alignment
Test requirements:
Measuring equipment correctly calibrated
Vehicle unladen1)
Tires inflated to correct pressure
Vehicle accurately aligned, suspension
bounced and rocked several times
Suspension, steering and steering linkage
checked for excessive play and damage.
Note:
Vehicle alignment should not be checked
before the vehicle has completed 1000 to 2000
km (600 to 1200 miles) as then the coil springs
have had time to settle.
The cause of vehicle imbalance may also be,
excessive residual imbalance and/or vertical
wheel runout.
1)
Unladened means: the weight of the vehicle
ready for the road (fuel tank completely filled,
spare wheel, vehicle tools and vehicle jack). Page 1 of 7Vehicle alignment12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.44.1

Front wheel camber, adjusting Note: - Install special tool as shown in illustration and
slightly pre-tension.
- Loosen suspension strut/wheel bearing housing
connection.
- Adjust camber by turning the spindle to specified
setting.
- Tighten suspension strut/wheel bearing housing
connection.
- Check camber and if necessary, repeat
adjustment. Slight cant of tool is permitted. Do not move steering with tool in place! Before adjusting camber, it is essential to
examine all suspension components for damage
(visual inspection) and to replace any damaged
parts. Because bolts with a shank diameter of 11 mm
diameter have been installed as standard it is no
longer necessary to replace bolts to correct
camber. Page 6 of 7Vehicle alignment12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.44.1

Calculating the direction of travel:
- If both toe figures have the same preceding sign
(+/+ or -/-), subtract the smaller figure from the
larger figure and divide by 2 Example.
Left rear wheel
toe
Right rear wheel
toe
+ 15' + 5'
15' - 5' =
10'
10' : 2 = 5'
Deviation from direction of travel = 5'
- Add figures with different sign (+/-) and divide by 2 Example.
Left rear wheel
toe
Right rear wheel
toe
+ 15' - 5'
15' + 5' =
20'
20' : 2 =
10'
Deviation from direction of travel = 10'
The individual result is the actual alignment
deviation from the vehicle longitudinal axis. Page 7 of 7Vehicle alignment12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.44.1

Anti-locking Brake System
(ABS) and Anti-locking Brake
System with Electronic
Differential Lock (ABS/EDL)
Teves 04
The ABS, ABS/EDL brake system is divided
diagonally. The servo-assist is effected
pneumatically, by the vacuum brake servo unit.
Located between the brake master cylinder and
the vacuum servo unit is a mounting bracket for
the hydraulic unit with pump.
The hydraulic unit together with pump, supplies
only the anti-locking brake system (ABS) or anti-
locking brake system and traction control system
(ABS/EDL).
Malfunctions on the ABS, ABS/EDL systems do
not influence the brake system and servo. The
vehicle can be driven without the ABS, ABS/EDL
functions operating. Page 1 of 5Anti-locking Brake System (ABS) and Anti-locking Brake System with Electronic Differential Lock (A...12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.45.1
