Removal, installation and adjustment of the front door (VW Transporter T4)

Door fastening

Removal

1. Unscrew the nut (1) and remove the pin.

2. Remove the Allen screws (2) from the upper and lower hinges and remove the door. If the door is to be reinstalled, outline the screw heads with a felt-tip pen. This will make subsequent assembly easier.

Caution! For vehicles with special equipment, such as central locking, electric windows, electrically adjustable and heated outside mirrors or speakers in the doors: disconnect the electrical wiring and remove it from the door; to do this, remove the door trim.

Installation

1. Install the door and screw it to the hinges by hand.

2. Tighten the door stop nut (1) to a torque of 7 Nm.

Adjustment

1. Door adjustment is always required when installing a new door. When adjusting, pay attention to the same, parallel size of the groove along the perimeter of the door relative to the body and adjacent parts.

2. Adjusting the front parts of the door: loosen the hinge screws (2) and adjust the door (see fig. Door fastening), moving it in the openings of the enlarged hinge holes.



3. Adjust the door to the contour of the body. The grooves of the door should coincide with the grooves of the wing.

4. To avoid wind noise, slide the door in or out until its upper surface matches the front wing. The door should be recessed from the wing edge at the front by no more than 1 mm.

5. Tighten the screws to a torque of 55 Nm.

6. At the rear, the door is adjusted relative to the locking pin. To do this, loosen the locking pin so that it can be moved with force. Close and adjust the door. Then carefully open the door and tighten the locking pin.
