Tighten hose clip on outer joint
– Apply special pliers -V.A.G 1682- as shown in diagram. En‐
sure that the jaws of the pliers seat in the ends of the hose clip
-arrows B-.
– Tighten hose clip by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do
not cant pliers).
Note
Because a stainless steel hose clip is required due to the hard
♦
material of the joint boot (compared to rubber), it is possible to
tighten the hose clip only with special pliers -V.A.G 1682- .
Specified torque: 25 Nm.
♦
Use torque wrench -C- with adjustment range 5 ... 50 Nm, (e.g.
♦
torque wrench -V.A.G 1331- ).
Make sure thread of spindle -A- on pliers moves freely. Lubri‐
♦
cate with MoS2 grease if necessary.
If the thread is tight (e.g. due to dirt), the required clamping
♦
force for the clip will not be attained although the correct torque
is applied.
