Lower steering shaft with light-alloy sliding tube (4-cylinder engines)
6.2 Turn lower steering shaft (80a) until the groove (80i) for the fixing bolt of the steering coupling is horizontal on the right-hand side and the reset cam for the combination switch points to the left (arrow).
The following is to be observed for the separate light-alloy steering shaft:
The position of the inner slide (80l) relative to the outer slide (80k) is determined by
an offset tooth and therefore the parts must not be assembled using force.
It must be possible to slide the inner slide (80l) easily in the longitudinal direction.
