WARNING

Changing a wheel can be dangerous, especially

when carried out at the side of a road. Please

note the following points in order to reduce the

risk of serious injuries:

Stop the vehicle as soon as possible in a safe

location. Park the vehicle at a safe distance

from moving traffic in order to carry out the

wheel change.

All passengers, especially children, must be

at a safe distance and away from your area

of work during the wheel change.

Switch on the hazard warning lights and set

up the warning triangle to warn other road

users.

Fig. 30 Removing the wheel bolt caps.

According to the version of the vehicle, wheel

bolt caps may not be available. For more infor-

mation about your vehicle, consult the instruc-

tion manual - digital version on the website

www.vw.com.br and also on the My Volkswagen

app.

Make sure that the ground is flat and firm. If

necessary use a large, strong board or similar

support for the vehicle jack.

Only change the wheel yourself if you feel

confident carrying out the procedure. Seek

expert assistance if this is not the case.

The caps protect the wheel bolts and must be

fully fitted back after changing the wheel.

Always use suitable and undamaged tools to

change the wheel.

Removing and fitting the protection caps

Remove:

Always switch off the engine, firmly apply

the handbrake and, with an automatic gear-

box move the selector lever to position P or

engage a gear on a manual gearbox to re-

duce the risk of the vehicle moving.

1. Take the wire hook from the vehicle toolkit

→ page 23.

2. Pass the extractor hook through the opening

in the cover → Fig. 30and pull it out in the di-

rection of the arrow.

Wheel bolt tightening torque

Prescribed tightening torque for light alloy wheel

rims and steel wheel rims:

In vehicles with a tire pressure control indi-

cator (only for Saveiro when available), if ap-

plicable, the system must be reprogrammed

after changing the wheel.

120 Nm

If the wheel bolts are corroded and difficult to

turn, they must be replaced and the wheel hub

threads cleaned before the tightening torque is

checked.

Wheel bolts

Please refer to at the start of the chapter

on page 31.

Never grease or lubricate the wheel bolts or the

threads of the wheel hub. This could cause them

to loosen while the vehicle is in motion, even if

the required torque setting is used.

The tightening torque should be checked with a

torque wrench immediately after changing a

wheel.

WARNING

Incorrectly tightened wheel bolts can loosen

while the vehicle is in motion and cause acci-

dents, serious injury, and loss of control of the

vehicle.

Only use wheel bolts corresponding to the

respective wheel.

Fig. 31 Changing the wheel: loosen wheel bolts.

Never use different wheel bolts.

The wheel bolts and threads of the wheel

hubs must be clean, free from oil and grease,

and turn easily.

Only the spanner delivered with the vehicle

should be used to loosen the wheel bolts.

Only loosen the wheel bolts by approximately

one turn before raising the vehicle with the vehi-

cle jack.

Always use the box spanner placed in the ve-

hicle at the factory to loosen and tighten the

wheel bolts.

If the wheel bolt is very tight, you may be able to

loosen it by pushing down the end of the spanner

carefully with your foot. Hold on to the car for

support and take care not to slip.

Only loosen the wheel bolts by approximate-

ly one turn before raising the vehicle with

the vehicle jack.

If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts is

too low, the wheel bolts and wheels can

loosen while the vehicle is in motion. The

wheel bolts and threads can be damaged if

the tightening torque is too high.

Loosening the wheel bolts

Fit the box spanner over the wheel bolt as far

as it will go → Fig. 31.

Hold the end of the box spanner and turn the

wheel bolt approximately one turn anticlock-

wise →

.

Important information about the wheel bolts

The wheel bolts were specifically designed for

the factory-fitted wheels. If different wheels are

fitted, the correct wheel bolts with the right

length and properly shaped bolt heads must be

used. This ensures that the wheels are fitted se-

curely and that the brake system works properly.
