Special tools and workshop equipment required 

• Calibration Tool - VAS6350A-
• Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings - VAS6350/1-
• Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser - VAS6350/2-
• Calibration Tool - Linear Laser - VAS6350/3A-
• Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
  • Establish the requirements. Refer to Calibration Requirements 
  • Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

Attaching the -VAS6350/1-:

• Check which hole circle the rims have.
• Equip the -VAS6350/1- appropriately.
• To do so, secure the three wheel bolt adapters in the hole circle to each -VAS6350/1-.
• Place the paddle on both -VAS6350/1- and secure them using a clamping screw.
• Place the -VAS6350/1- onto the wheel bolts on the front axle.

The -VAS6350/1- are positioned by the "O-rings" in the adapters and secured.

• Adjust the paddles with aid of lock bolts so that they move freely just above the floor. Check the paddles for ease of movement.
• -VAS6350A-, Installing and Aligning. Refer to Calibration Tool - VAS6350A-, Installing and Aligning .

• Hold the -VAS6350/2- -2- flush in the bracket on one side of the calibration board as shown. The -VAS6350/2- -2- must sit securely on the bracket at the same time.
• Push the measurement button briefly.

The laser switches on.

The laser beam from the -VAS6350/2- -2- must hit the lower, enlarged section of the paddle -1-.

If this is not the case, the paddles must be corrected accordingly via clamping screws on the -VAS6350/1-.

• Use one hand to secure the -VAS6350/2- in the bracket on the -VAS6350A- while the laser beam is visible on the paddle.
• Then press the measurement button for the distance measurement briefly.
• Note the value.
• Repeat this measurement on the other side of the -VAS6350A- in the same way for the front wheel.

The distance value must be the same on both sides.

If values are not identical: 

• Align the -VAS6350A- long enough so that both sides are identical.
• When adjusting, make sure the -VAS6350/3A- strikes the center above the VW emblem and that the level indicator remains centered. Adjust if necessary.

     NOTE: The vehicle in the illustration is only a basic outline.
   • Measure the dimension -a- using a commercially available folding ruler from the center of the rearview camera lens to the wheel contact surface.
   • Note the value for the dimension -B-.

The measured distance measurement, the height of the calibration device and the height of the center of the rearview camera lens must be entered in the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in "mm".
