General Information

The Contact Surface Cleaning Set - VAS6410- makes optimal

repair quality possible in the realm of vehicle electronics. Using

the tools, service work can be performed in the area of the contact

sensor on the threaded connection wiring harnesses in the high

current circuit (starter and charging current). The -VAS6410- is

adapted to the vehicle structural measurements and ensures cor‐

rect servicing and a comfortable procedure.

Note

The illustrations of the service work only serve as examples.

3.1.2

Wiring Eyelets, Repairing

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 in‐

stalling and this will lead to the threaded connection breaking.

♦ The gray sanding pads are for slight contamination and suit‐

able for "soft surfaces". The red sanding pads are for heavy

contamination and suitable for "hard surfaces".

WARNING

Risk of injury. Observe warning notes and safety precautions.

– Disconnect battery.

– Loosen the cap nut and remove the wiring eyelet from the

threaded connection.

– Check the wiring eyelet for corrosion, contamination, etc.

– Select the corresponding adapter and the corresponding

sanding pad.

Note

The sanding block can be used instead.

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 wiring eyelet and sand off the corro‐

sion and contamination with circular motions.

– Check the wiring eyelet and sand it again if necessary.
