Removal
1 - threaded sleeve (left hand thread)
2 - spacer
3 - spacer pin with slot for dismantling
4 - locking tabs for basic adjustment
5 - recess for the locking protrusion
6 - locking washer
7 - lock bolt
8 - rubber buffer
Using a narrow screwdriver, press the expansion pins by the slot for dismantling and pull the adjustment buffer out of the rear wall of the door.
Remove the rubber buffer and unscrew the 3mm Allen key locking bolt to the edge of the locking washer.
Threaded sleeve "1" (left hand thread) adjust so that the dimension "a" is 3 mm. You can check the value of the dimension "a" using, for example, a "9" key for an internal Allen key.
Note: For new buffers, dimension "a" is already adjusted to 3 mm. The spacer "2" fits against the threaded sleeve "1".
[The original can be seen on the portal: VWmanual]
Pull out the locking washer and press it again so that the locking protrusions "4" are fixed in the recesses "6". The distance "b" between the housing and the rubber buffer is 10 mm.
Insert the adjustment buffer and secure it with spacer pins.
Close the rear door with a light press, then open it again.
Tighten the locking bolt "7" just noticeably, i.e. with a torque of only 1 Nm. To create such a torque, workshops use a torque screwdriver.
