Check of hydraulics of coupling
In a bell of coupling of the dismantled engine knots of management of coupling are visible
|
|
Over a coupling pedal (figure "1" designated the lever) the rubber cuff (5) of the working cylinder of coupling and both fixing bolts are visible (3 and 4). Figure "2" designated a lock collar of a hinged finger which has to be taken out at dismantle. |

- If coupling is switched off correctly, its hydraulic system anyway as it should be.
- But if it is switched off badly or the pedal fails without resistance, then for certain air got to hydraulic system.
- Simple removal of air will not help here – it is necessary to find the place of leak and to repair it. Now you can remove air from system. You will find information on other causes of defect of coupling at the end of this chapter in the section Help at malfunctions.
- For the purpose of preventive check of hydraulic system of coupling look for traces of brake fluid on the working cylinder (above on a coupling pedal) and on the main cylinder (on the transmission).
- The cylinders of coupling moistened with oil are untight and are subject to replacement. Though the origin of oily dirt on the main cylinder is defined hardly without thorough cleaning of this site.

Council: The hydraulics of coupling receives the liquid from a tank with brake fluid, but at a leakage in this area danger does not threaten the brake system. The liquid intake branch pipe in hydraulic system of coupling is on a tank quite highly therefore for brakes there is always enough liquid. |
Dismantle of the working cylinder of coupling
|
|
- Suck away as much as possible liquid from a broad tank (by means of the big medical syringe).
- Dismantle facing of the control panel at the left below (the head Salon).
- Enclose an old rag under the working cylinder, disconnect the giving hose and let's flow down to the liquid rest in a rag.
- From a motive compartment unscrew a delivery hose to the main cylinder.
- Unscrew two fixing bolts with internal hexagons at the working cylinder.
- Cast away a lock collar of a hinged finger (connection of a pedal and the working cylinder) back, squeeze out a finger.
- Now it is possible to remove the cylinder.
- At installation of the new cylinder the rod pressing the piston of the working cylinder has to be adjusted so that the pedal of coupling was about 10 mm above a brake pedal.
- Surely track: the returnable spring has to wring out a pedal properly. At the same time the pedal in rest position should not adjoin above to the arm. Otherwise the piston of the working cylinder in rest position will not be able to move to a back emphasis.
- For adjustment weaken a lock-nut on a press rod and turn press a rod to the left or to the right round its pivot-center. Then again tighten a lock-nut.
- Pump over hydraulic system of coupling.

Council: The coupling pedal in Audi A4 is supplied with a so-called spring with the top dead point. It helps when pressing a pedal, but after removal of a leg returns it in a starting position. If the pedal does not come back, then air or the heavy course of a pedal or a spring got to hydraulic system. |
Dismantle of the main cylinder of coupling
|
|
- Lift and record the forward left side of the car.
- Unscrew a delivery hydraulic hose from the main cylinder – be careful, at the same time brake fluid follows.
- Substitute capacity.
- Weaken a fixing bolt on the cylinder, take out the main cylinder from the transmission case back.
- If it is necessary, help yourself anticorrosive spray and the mounting lever.
- Slightly oil the surfaces of the case of the new cylinder, grease with MoS2 paste a pusher.
- Insert the main cylinder into the case of the transmission and press it until it is possible to screw up fixing bolts in a carving on the transmission (25 Nanometers).
- Pump over hydraulic system.

Removal of air from hydraulic system of coupling
That who has no device, ordinary for a workshop, for air pumping deletes air from hydraulic system of coupling the same as from brake – is almost faultless – the next way:
|
|
- Open the nipple for production of air on a brake of a forward wheel and the nipple on the main cylinder of coupling approximately on 1,5 turns everyone.
- Connect both nipples a hose.
- Now several times slowly and carefully press a brake pedal in order that hydraulic liquid from a brake of a forward wheel was wrung out through coupling hydraulics.
- Do not press on a pedal with a force, otherwise the hose will break!
- Do not lose sight of liquid level in a broad tank.
- If vials of air from hydraulic system of coupling do not come to a broad tank any more, then both nipples are screwed up and the hose is removed.
- Check the level of brake fluid!
