Volkswagen Passat / Passat Variant (2011 year). Manual — part 56
♦
In the area of the A, B and C-pillars, high tensile, highest tensile and hot formed steels are used. The weld
flanges in these areas are about 13mm wide.
♦
If spot welds are located at the edge of hot formed steel panels, the high temperature will cause the bond
between the panels to change, which will subsequently have an effect on crash safety.
Therefore, locate spot welds as close to the centre as possible.
• Dimension -a- of 8mm can be achieved using angled welding
tips.
– Adapt new parts with vehicle positioned on alignment bracket
set and fix in place.
