Raising wheel suspension to unladen position, Golf Plus, CrossGolf

Special tools and workshop
equipment required
♦ Engine and gearbox jack -
V.A.G 1383 A-
♦ Tensioning strap -T10038-
♦ Support -T10149-
Note
All bolts on running gear components with bonded rubber bushes
may be tightened only when the component is in the unladen po‐
sition (normal position).
Bonded rubber bushes can be twisted only to a limited extent.
Axle components with bonded rubber bushes must therefore be
brought to a position equivalent to the unladen (normal) position
before being tightened.
Otherwise, the bonded rubber bush would be subject to torsion
loading, shortening its service life.
To simulate this position on the lifting platform, raise the respec‐
tive wheel suspension with the engine and gearbox jack -V.A.G
1383 A- and support -T10149- .
