| – |
Do not remove brake pedal depressor -V.A.G 1869/2-. |
| – |
Place sufficiently lint-free cloths under ABS control unit
-J104- and ABS hydraulic unit -N55-. |
 Note
| Make sure no brake fluid gets onto electrical contacts on
ABS control unit -J104-. |
| – |
Unclip brake lines from plenum chamber bulkhead. |
|
|
|
| – |
First, mark the two brake lines -A-
and -B- coming from brake master
cylinder. |
| – |
Unscrew both brake lines -A-
and -B- from ABS hydraulic unit
-N55-. |
| – |
Seal threaded holes immediately using sealing plugs from the
assembly part kit, part no. 5Q0 698 311. |
|
|
|
| – |
Mark, unscrew and seal threaded holes
-2- of remaining brake lines (brake calipers). |
|
|

Pull off ABS hydraulic unit -N55--1-
together with bracket -2- in
-direction of arrow-. |
| – |
The rubber dampers -arrows-
will be pulled off the studs of bracket
-3- while doing so. |
| – |
Guide hydraulic unit out of vehicle. |
| Install in reverse order. Note the following when doing
this: |
Note
| Remove sealing plugs from new hydraulic unit only when the
corresponding brake line is to be fitted. |
| If sealing plugs are removed too early from the hydraulic
unit, brake fluid can escape, and it can then no longer be
guaranteed that the unit can be sufficiently filled and bled. |
| Do not bend the brake lines in the area of the ABS hydraulic
unit -N55- |
| Ensure that rubber dampers of retainer are not pressed out
of bracket when installing. After installation, check that the
ABS hydraulic unit -N55- is firmly seated, or malfunction can
occur. |
|
|
|
| Tightening sequence of brake lines: |
| – |
First, attach and tighten brake lines in sequence
-4- to -1-. |
| – |
Then, attach and tighten brake lines in sequence
-A- to -B-. |
| – |
Remove brake pedal depressor -V.A.G 1869/2-. |
| – |
