Moulded foam elements


Note

Various body cavities in the Amarok 2010 have been fitted

with moulded foam elements.

The moulded foam elements reduce the amount of driving

noise that is transmitted into the interior.

The moulded elements are fitted during body shell construc

tion and increase their volume in the paint shop drying oven
at approx.180C, after priming.

The exact locations of these moulded foam elements are ad

ditionally shown at the beginning of the respective repair de


scriptions.

Weld parting cut all round in longitudinal member -1- adhering
to -air gap dimension a-, SG continuous weld seam.
Dimension a = 3.5 mm + 0.5 mm
Note
Adherence to -air gap dimension a- is vital to guarantee proper through-welding.
Before welding longitudinal member, check welder settings; weld several test seams and check roots of

test weld seams (correct welding parameters if necessary).

SG continuous weld seam must not be reworked (ground or smoothed)!

Weld parting cut all round in rear longitudinal member -1- ad
hering to -air gap dimension a-, SG continuous weld seam.
Dimension a = 3.5 mm + 0.5 mm
Note
Adherence to -air gap dimension a- is vital to guarantee proper through-welding.
Before welding longitudinal member, check welder settings; weld several test seams and check roots of

test weld seams (correct welding parameters if necessary).

SG continuous weld seam must not be reworked (ground or smoothed)!
