Disconnect ASD control module (N30/2).

Return wheel to its starting position in 1.0
(see 42, Figure 2).

Engine: at Idle
Pressure within hydraulic system:
without pressure reservoir
50 - 63 bar.
with pressure reservoir

(see 33 2.0, 3.0)

Turn torque wrench through 90° (see 42, Figure 2).
Observe and record the value.












Measured frictional torque in 2.0 minus
measured frictional torque
in 1.0:
> 100 Nm.
















If frictional torque difference is
< 100 Nm, replace rear axle center piece.
