Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Balancing wheel, balancing wheel with finish balancer
 Note
| Before working with a finish balancer, the mechanic needs to
have been instructed by the manufacturer of the balancer. |
| To balance the wheels, set the wheels of the driven axle on
the sensor platforms. On front-wheel drive models, front wheels
must be set. On four-wheel drive models, all 4 wheels must be
set. |
| If you determine a residual imbalance greater than 20 grams
when balancing the wheels, you should rotate the mounting
position of the wheel on the hub. |
| – |
Mark the point at which the imbalance is indicated. |
| – |
Then, unbolt the wheel and rotate its position on the hub so
that the marking points downwards. |
Note
| The hub must not rotate during this procedure. |
| – |
First, hand-tighten the lowest wheel bolt to about 30 Nm. |
| – |
Then, tighten the remaining wheel bolts diagonally to about
30 Nm. This process ensures that the wheel is centred properly
on the hub. |
| – |
Check whether the imbalance is less than 20 grams using the
finish balancer. |
Note
| The imbalance should always be less than 20 grams before you
change the balance weight. |
| – |
Loosen the wheel bolts again if necessary. |
| – |
Rotate wheel again by 1 or 2 wheel bolt holes in relation to
wheel hub. |
| – |
Tighten wheels using the method described above. |
Note
| Do not try to reduce the imbalance using balancing weights
unless the imbalance is less than 20 grams. |
| – |
Balance wheels if imbalance is less than 5 grams. |
| – |
Tighten wheel bolts to specified torque if you have not
already done so. |
WARNING
| Always tighten wheel bolts to specified tightening
torque using a torque wrench! |
