Replacing the tie rod assembly
This work sometimes fails due to the inaccessibility of the screw connection between the tie rod and the steering gear. For this screw connection, there is a VAG 1923 key that allows you to tighten this screw connection by 100 Nm. Recommended for use.
1. Separate the tie rod head from the tie rod as described in the previous section.
2. Loosen the bellows on the tie rod and steering gear, remove.
3. Unscrew the tie rod from the steering gear.
4. Installation: Lubricate the inner joint with steering gear grease AOF 063 000 04.
5. Screw in a new tie rod on the steering gear leash by 100 Nm.
6. Install bellows.
7. Attach head to tie rod and rudder arm as described above.
