Wheel change

Introduction

Only change the wheel yourself if the vehicle is parked securely, you are familiar with the safety precautions and the

necessary procedures and you have the necessary tools. Some vehicles are delivered from the factory without a vehicle jack

and lug wrench. In such cases, have the wheel changed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen

Service Facility. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service

Facility.

If the vehicle is delivered ex factory with a jack, this jack is only designed for a wheel change in the event that a wheel on the

vehicle has been damaged and needs to be replaced. If both tires on one side of the vehicle, both tires on one axle, or all tires

are damaged, contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance.

Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

You must carry out the following steps to change a wheel.

1. Prepare the vehicle for the wheel change ⇒ Preparing Your Vehicle.

2. Depending on the vehicle and vehicle equipment, remove the subwoofer ⇒ Removing and installing the subwoofer.

3. Take out the spare wheel ⇒ Removing the spare wheel or compact spare wheel.

4. Remove the wheel hub cover or wheel bolt caps ⇒ Removing and Fitting Wheel Hub Covers, ⇒ Removing and Fitting

Hubcaps, ⇒ Removing and Fitting the Wheel Bolt Caps.

5. Loosen the wheel bolts ⇒ Loosening wheel bolts.

6. Jack up the car ⇒ Raising the vehicle with the vehicle jack.

7. Remove the damaged wheel and ﬁt the spare wheel or compact spare wheel ⇒ Changing a wheel.

WARNING

It can be dangerous to change a wheel at the roadside.

If the vehicle and work area are not secured properly, serious accidents and fatal injuries may occur.

Only carry out the wheel change yourself if you are familiar with the necessary steps. Instead, seek assistance

from an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen recommends

contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Park the vehicle a safe distance from moving trafﬁc.

Always switch off the engine and move the selector lever to the P position to reduce the risk of the vehicle moving

unintentionally.

Set the electronic parking brake.

Move all passengers, particularly children, to a safe distance away from the working area on the side facing away

from moving trafﬁc.

Switch on the emergency ﬂashers to warn other road users and set up the warning triangle.

Only jack up the vehicle on level, ﬁrm ground. Sloped or soft ground can cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. If

necessary, place a large, stable surface under the jack.

423

If you are on a slippery surface such as tile, place a non-slippery object such as a rubber mat on the ground to

prevent the jack from slipping.

Only use suitable and undamaged tools for wheel changes.

After changing a wheel, immediately check the tightening torque of the wheel bolts with an undamaged torque

wrench that is functioning correctly.

If your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, you must recalibrate the system immediately

after a wheel is changed ⇒ How the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Works .
