Removing and installing control unit and hydraulic unit, LHD vehicles, diesel engine

–  Connect bleed bottle bleed hose -1- to bleed valve of front left brake caliper.
–  Open bleed valve.
 

Removing and installing control unit and hydraulic unit, LHD vehicles, diesel engine

–  Connect bleed hose of bleed bottle -1- to bleed valve of rear left brake caliper.
–  Open bleed valve.
–  Depress brake pedal at least 60 mm using brake pedal depressor -V.A.G 1869/2-.
–  Close front left and rear left bleeder valves.
–  Do not remove brake pedal depressor -V.A.G 1869/2-.
–  Place sufficient lint-free cloths under the control unit and hydraulic unit.
  Note
Ensure no brake fluid gets onto contacts.
–  Pull cover off plenum chamber bulkhead and unclip brake lines.
–  First identify both brake lines from brake master cylinder and unscrew from hydraulic unit.
–  Seal threaded holes immediately using sealing plugs from the assembly part kit with part no. 5Q0 698 311.
–  Mark, unscrew and seal threaded holes of remaining brake lines (brake calipers).
 

Removing and installing control unit and hydraulic unit, LHD vehicles, diesel engine

–  Pull hydraulic unit together with control unit upwards out of dampers -arrow-.
–  Carefully set down hydraulic unit together with control unit in engine compartment.
  Note
Lay down ABS hydraulic unit -N55- together with ABS control unit -J104- ensuring it cannot fall down.
–  Raise vehicle.
On vehicles equipped with auxiliary heaters:

–  Unbolt bracket from hydraulic unit -arrows- in vehicle.
–  Guide hydraulic unit out of vehicle.
Installing
Install in reverse order of removal, observing the following:
  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.
When installing the hydraulic unit, ensure that the rubber dampers are not pressed out of bracket.
