threaded connection.

– Check the threaded connection for corrosion and dirt.
– Select the corresponding adapter and the corresponding

sanding pad for the threaded connection.

Caution

Make sure the tin layer is not worn down too much and the

copper is not visible. A galvanic element can form from this,

destroying the metal and causing incorrect repairs.

Note

Due to the different thicknesses of the tin layer, the cleaning proc‐

ess must be performed in several steps and a visual inspection

of the wiring eyelet between steps is necessary.

– Insert the adapter in the threaded connection and sand off the

corrosion and contamination with circular motions.

– Check the threaded connection and sand it again.
– Fasten the connection and the anti-twist mechanism to the

specified tightening specification. Refer to ⇒  Electrical Equip‐

ment; Rep. Gr.  97 ; Component Location Overview - Relay

Carriers, Fuse Panels and E-Boxes or ⇒  Electrical Equipment;

Rep. Gr.  27 ; Overview - Battery .

– Protect the threaded connection with the corresponding pro‐

tection material. Refer to 

⇒ “4.1.5 Protecting”, page 121

Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Torque Wrench 1331 5-50Nm - VAG1331-

Note

Do not use rust remover, contact spray or grease because the

lack of friction will cause the torque to be exceeded when instal‐

ling and this will lead to the threaded connection breaking.

– Check the battery terminal and battery pole for corrosion and

dirt.

The battery terminal clamp is cleaned with the battery terminal

cleaner wire brush using circular motions.

The battery terminal is cleaned with the bottom side of the termi‐

nal cleaner using circular motions.

Protecting

Caution

Missing protection leads to the electrical system damage.

Note

All threaded connections must be tightened to the tightening

specification.

When applying protection, use the accompanying hose on the

protection container.

Protection wax is used in the cool area.

Cavity protection wax is used in the warm area.

The protection material draws itself into the affected places by

capillary action.

5.1

General Information

A new repair concept has been developed for repairing antenna

wires. Instead of a complete antenna wire, connecting wires of

different lengths and various adapter leads are now available as

replacement parts.
General Information
♦ If a repair is necessary, antenna wires may not be repaired,

but rather are to be replaced with genuine replacement parts,

such as connecting wires and adapter leads.

♦ Replacement parts are found in the Parts Catalog.
♦ These genuine replacement parts are suitable for all antenna

wires and wire cross sections, that require replacement.

♦ Connector housing for antenna wires can be obtained as a

replacement part only in one color, but can be used for all an‐

tenna connector colors.

♦ The replacement of individual antenna connectors during re‐

pair work is not intended.

♦ The wires are appropriate for use on all VW vehicles with

equipped antenna wiring cross-sections.

♦ All adapter leads and connecting wires are suitable for various

transmission and reception signals.

♦ This repair concept can also be used for testing or as an after-

market solution.

Overview - Antenna Wiring

Overview of Antenna Wiring
Example: antenna wire from the Radio - R- to the Antenna - R11-

faulty. The following wires are required for repair:
1 - Adapter cable for connecting to the Radio - R- , length ap‐

proximately 30 cm

2 - Connecting wire, available in various lengths.
3 - Adapter cable for connecting to the Antenna - R11- , length

approximately 30 cm

5.3

New Antenna Wire, Installing

Note that, depending on the vehicle equipment, the entire length

of an antenna wire may be separated into partial lengths by the

Antenna Selection Control Module - J515- , Traffic Monitoring

Control Module - J559- or Antenna Amplifier - R24- . Only the

defective sections need to be replaced.
Procedure
– Separate the connectors of the faulty antenna wiring from their

components.

– Determine the path of the faulty antenna wire in the vehicle

and measure the total length of antenna wire to be replaced.
