3 Moulded foam elements

Note

♦ Various body cavities in the Amarok 2010 ► have been fitted


with moulded foam elements.

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.180°C, after priming.
♦ The exact locations of these moulded foam elements are ad‐
ditionally shown at the beginning of the respective repair de‐
scriptions.

closed with weld and the support is then welded in position.

and fix in place.
– Check fit with adjacent parts.
– 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)!
