– Lever off cap -2-.
– Unscrew nut and remove terminal 30/B+ -4-.
– Remove alternator - C- -1- downwards to the right.
Installing
Install in the reverse order of removal, observing the following:
– To facilitate positioning of alternator - C- , slide bushes of al‐
ternator mounting slightly towards rear.
Make sure that bushes slide freely and are not too tight (loosen,
if necessary) because otherwise the clamping force of a stiff bush
will be insufficient even when the correct torque is applied.
– Connect battery - A- ⇒ page 16 .
– Always start engine and check belt running after completing

1.7 Deactivating APP function of wiper mo‐

tor
The windscreen wiper system is equipped with an APP function
(alternating park position).
With the APP function, the wiper is moved up slightly once it has
reached the lowest position. This occurs every second time the
wiper system is switched off.
To fit the motor crank on the wiper motor, it is necessary for the
motor to be in the lowest park position. To ensure this position is
reached, the APP function must be deactivated.

82 Rep. gr.92 - Windscreen wash/wipe system

 Golf 2017 ➤
Electrical system - Edition 12.2017

Note

♦ The APP function cannot be activated.

♦ After 100 cycles of wiper movement, the APP function is acti‐
vated automatically. This applies to wiper motors on which the
APP function has been deactivated and also to new wiper mo‐
tors.

– Connect vehicle diagnostic tester ⇒ page 317 .

– Attach 3 wheel bolt adapters (spanner size 17) to each wheel

centre mounting - VAS 6350/1- for the wheel securing bolts.
– Insert measuring paddles in both wheel centre mountings -
VAS 6350/1- , and secure them with clamping nut.
– Fit wheel centre mountings - VAS 6350/1- onto wheel bolts on
both rear wheels.
• The turning centre of the wheel centre mounting must be in
