Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Control Module, Installing On Hydraulic Unit
Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required
- ESD Work Surface:VAS6613
- Torque Screwdriver:VAG1624
- TORX® insert T25
Excessive shaking (for example, dropping, impact) may destroy the control module. The control module must then no longer be used.
- Surfaces must be cleaned before assembling.
-- Place the control module it onto hydraulic unit without tilting it.
-- Install the hydraulic unit and control module with the new included TORX® bolts switching back and forth in two steps according to the tightening specification.
The hydraulic unit threads cannot be re-cut to secure the control module. If the threads are damaged (bolts are difficult to install by hand or the bolts cannot be tightened to the tightening specification), the hydraulic unit must be replaced.
Tightening Specification
A new control module may be installed a maximum of three times to a used hydraulic unit, to ensure that the elastic gasket seals sufficiently.
Do not install a used control module.
