Door adjustment (VW Touareg 1)

To properly adjust the door, it is necessary to loosen the door hinge on the rack. Other measures, such as pulling the door up, are ineffective. The door will sag again under subsequent load.

For these purposes, use the door adjustment key 3320 together with the attachment for 3320 3320/2.

If necessary, you can use adapter attachment 3320/1 to unscrew the upper door hinge on pillar A from the inside. To do this, the front panel must be removed.

When installing new outer door trim, the frame of the hanging units is not affected.

The rear edge of the outer door trim is installed approximately 2 mm higher relative to the door, dimension a (Fig. 8.25).



After installing the frame of the hanging units, the door is lowered by these 2 mm.

Adjusting the lock loop

NOTE: The vehicle must be on the ground to adjust the front door.

NOTE: The adjustment description is given for the right front door only. The adjustment of the left door is similar.

NOTE: The front door should close completely without any additional effort and should not wobble (play). After adjusting the lock hinge, the door should not press up or down.

NOTE: The lock loop can be adjusted if the front door does not fit into the rear door.

Loosen the lock loop 1 by loosening the bolts 2 on the B pillar (Fig. 8.26).
