Power steering gear, removing and
installing

When working on the power assisted steering
gear:
Absolute cleanliness is required when working
on the power steering.
Thoroughly clean connections and immediate
vicinity before loosening.
Place parts on a clean surface and cover if not
re-installing immediately.
Do not use fluffy cloths. Only unpack parts immediately prior to
installation.
Only use genuine packed parts. Vehicles with four wheel drive observe installing heat shield. Page 15 of 99Steering12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.48.1

Removing - Press tie rods off steering arm. A - Ball joint splitter (commercial type) e.g. Kukko
No. 128/2
- Remove partition behind pedals from bulkhead
and from steering column tube to loosen the
universal joint/power steering gear. If an oil extraction unit is not available, disconnect
vane pump supply hose and drain hydraulic fluid. - Loosen nut on the universal joint (arrow). - Remove hydraulic fluid from reservoir with an oil
extraction unit, e.g. VAG 1358 A or VAG 1307 A. Page 16 of 99Steering12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.48.1

Instead of plastic sealing plugs a plug consisting of
Part No.113 301 229 A and banjo bolt, Part No. N
904 674 01 can be used. But when using these,
several 16 mm diameter sealing rings must be used
so that the holes in the banjo bolt are sealed. - Support engine/transmission assembly with 10-
222 A and 10-222 A/1 (support VR6 engine with
10-222A and 10-222A/3).
- Remove boot from seat on steering gear. - Remove subframe bolts. - Lower engine/transmission assembly; this will pull
the two halves of the universal joint apart.
- Disconnect hoses from steering gear and seal with plastic bag and adhesive tape.
- Seal power steering gear threaded holes with
plastic sealing plugs.
- Remove steering gear securing nuts (bolts remain
in subframe).
- Remove steering gear rearward. Page 17 of 99Steering12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.48.1

By turning the steering wheel back and forth (about
30 to center axis) a knocking noise will be heard if
there is excessive play. - Raise vehicle on hoist. - Wheels in straight-ahead position. - Loosen locking nut (counter-hold with 3315/9). - Carefully turn adjustment screw (arrow) into cover
until knocking noise can no longer be heard inside
vehicle.
- Tighten locking nut. - Complete a road test ensuring that when
maneuvring or negotiating corners the steering
self-centers without binding. Page 24 of 99Steering12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.48.1

Power steering gear, disassembling and
reassembling (TRW)
This repair is limited to replacing the sealing
rings and, if necessary, the toothed rod. Steering
gears that are damaged by an accident must be
replaced.
For a satisfactory and successful repair, the
greatest care, safety and proper tools are
required. The special tool set 3315 that is
pictured is also a part of this.

Note:
Clean hose connections and their surroundings
thoroughly before opening.
Thoroughly clean work place (workbench, vise)
before starting work if necessary place paper
towels on the working surface.
Place parts that have been removed on a clean
surface. If the repair will not be carried out
immediately, cover parts.
Do not use cloths with lint. All the replacement parts that are needed are
contained in the repair kit.
Only take replacement parts out of the package
right before installing. Use only parts in original
packaging.
Always install all of the parts in the repair kit Page 25 of 99Steering12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.48.1
