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

6 - Brake servo On gas engines the
vacuum required is
taken from the intake
manifold. On Diesel engines an
exhauster is installed
to create the required
vacuum. Functional check - With engine
switched off,
depress brake pedal
firmly several times
(to exhaust the
vacuum in the unit).
- Now depress brake
pedal with average
foot pressure, hold
and start engine. If
the servo unit is working properly, the pedal will be felt to
give slightly under
foot (servo
assistance becomes
effective). If faulty replace
complete. Check valve (item 14 )
is in vacuum hose Functional check - It must be possible
to blow through in
direction of arrow.
- Blowing against the arrow the valve must seat. Page 2 of 4Assembly overview: brake master cylinder/brake servo12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.47.1

Airbag steering wheel, removing and
installing

Removing

- Remove airbag unit. Page 48-7
- Remove trim below steering column switch. Note: - Separate connector (arrow). (Pull foam rubber
sleeve off connector, if installed).
- Remove nut and pull steering wheel off steering
column. After pulling steering wheel off, turn Airbag Spiral
Spring slightly so that the wire (arrow) faces
downward. (Hold steering wheel in installation
position). The spring then locates and is prevented
from turning.
If this step is not performed or if the spring is tufted in
an uncontrolled manner, it can lead to the spring
being overstressed at full lock, causing irreparable
damage. Page 8 of 99Steering12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.48.1
