Repairing ring terminals

Special tools and workshop equipment required

♦ VAG 1331

Note

♦ The use of penetrating fluid, contact spray or grease etc. is

prohibited since the missing adhesion in the threads may

cause a torque excess and, therefore, the break of the threa‐

ded connection.

♦ The grey sanding pads are suitable for light dirt and "soft sur‐

faces". The red sanding pads are suitable for heavy dirt and

"hard surfaces".

nection.

– Check ring terminal for corrosion, dirt etc.

– Select suitable adapter and suitable sanding pad.

Note

As an alternative, the sanding block may also be used.

Caution

Take care not to abrade excessively the tin coating and ensure

that the copper does not appear. This could produce a galvanic

cell which destroys metal and causes faulty repair.

lk

Note

As the thickness of the tin coating may differ according to the de‐

sign, the cleaning process must be performed step by step and a

visual check of the ring terminal is necessary between the steps.

– Insert adapter into ring terminal and grind off corrosion and dirt

with circular movements.

– Check ring terminal and regrind if necessary.
