WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi S3, 2017 Audi A3 Quattro, 2017 Audi A3, 2016 Audi S3, and 2016 Audi A3 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

-- Establish the requirements. Refer to Calibration Requirements .

-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting: VAS 6350/1A  , Installing:

-- Check which hole circle the rims have.

-- Equip the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings: VAS 6350/1  appropriately.

-- To do so, secure the three wheel bolt adapters in the hole for each Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings: VAS 6350/1  .

-- Place the paddle on both Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings: VAS 6350/1  and secure them using a clamping screw.

-- Place the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings: VAS 6350/1  onto the wheel bolts on the rear wheels.

The Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings: VAS 6350/1  are positioned by the "O-rings" in the adapters and secured.

NOTE:

Attach the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings: VAS 6350/1  onto the wheels so that any installed "anti-theft" wheel bolts are not connected to the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings: VAS 6350/1  .

-- Adjust the paddles with the aid of clamping screw so that they move freely just above the floor. Check the paddles for ease of movement.

-- Install and align the Calibration Tool: VAS 6350A  . Refer to Calibration Unit .

Distance measurement:

-- Switch on the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser: VAS 6350/2  .

The following display appears

  1. Attach with the front edge.
  2. Attach with the rear edge.

-- Hold the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser: VAS 6350/2  -2- flush in the bracket on one side of the calibration board as shown. The Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser: VAS 6350/2  -2- must sit securely on the bracket at the same time.

-- Push the measurement button briefly.

The laser switches on.

The laser beam from the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser: VAS 6350/2  -2- must hit the lower, enlarged section of the paddle -1-.

If this is not the case, the paddles must be corrected accordingly via clamping screws on the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings: VAS 6350/1  .

-- Use one hand to secure the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser: VAS 6350/2  in the bracket on the Calibration Tool: VAS 6350  while the laser beam is visible on the paddle.

-- Then press the measurement button for the distance measurement briefly.

-- Write down the value.

-- Repeat this measurement on the other side of the Calibration Tool: VAS 6350  in the same way for the rear wheel.

The distance value must be the same on both sides.

If values are not identical:

-- Align the Calibration Unit: VAS 6350A  long enough so that both sides are identical.

-- When adjusting, make sure the Calibration Tool - Linear Laser: VAS 6350/3A  strikes the center above the Audi rings and that the level indicator remains centered. Adjust if necessary.

Dimension measurement -H- :

-- Measure the height of the Calibration Unit: VAS 6350A  , dimension -H- (top edge platform - floor).
