Default 2001 S4 B5 Clutch replacement tutorial

All,

I see that a tutorial was written for the 1.8T is it similar? Is there a tutorial for the 2.7T?

Thanks,

Default None that I know of; the Bentley manual is pretty good except for the SAC mechanism.....

....it says new pressure plates come with the SAC already set, and this is not always true. See link below on how to make sure the SAC is properly set.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng86.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng86.shtml</a</li></ul>

Default Chaddy is correct and I would also advise to tighten the pp screws finger tight then one

revolution at a time in a star pattern. This takes a while, but it ensures that the pp doesn't get cocked on the guide pins. Another thing you can do is after you reset the SAC, use the press to apply pressure to the diaphram spring and see if the sac rachets down as it is supposed to. It is easy insurance before you bolt everything back together. Just make sure to reset the SAC again afterwards.

Default Read above link.

SAC=evil cousin of turbo lady. Nothing like getting it all back together and realizing you are going to have to take it apart again.
