Technical information should always be available to the foremen and mechanics, because their
careful and constant adherence to the instructions is essential to ensure vehicle road-worthiness and
safety. In addition, the normal basic safety precautions for working on motor vehicles must, as a
matter of course, be observed.

WARNING
Spot welding only results in the zinc layer burning off slightly in
the centre of the welding point and the protective zinc ring around
the welding point, which arises at the same time, protects against
corrosion. For this reason, this method is preferred to insert gas
seam welding.
– Cut out the hole with the body saw, e.g. -V.A.G 1523- .
– Clear sharp edge from the cut and apply corrosion protection
⇒ “11 Corrosion prevention”, page 48 .
Check new original parts, such as doors, flaps and wings, before
handing over to the paint shop to see if they have been damaged
during transport. If damage occurs during transport or an accident
before installation, double coating is not possible.
The foam moulds are fitted during the manufacturing of the body
structure and expand in volume after the primer is applied in the
drying chamber of the paint shop at approx. 180 °C.
To fill in these areas, use the hard 2K epoxy foam set - D 506 110
A2- . Material consumption depends on the construction status of
the respective model.
1 - reinforcement area
New part
♦ Hard 2K epoxy foam set - D 506 110 A2-
♦ Riveted nuts
Preparing the new part
– Transfer separating cut to new part and cut to the required
dimensions.
– Affix the textile adhesive tape over a large surface area on the
inner side of the outer panel within the contact area of the
structural foam, in order to avoid deformations related to the
volume change of the structural foam.
Part welding
– Fit the new part into place and staple.

– Successively fill areas -1- and -2- with structural foam via the
extension hose. Filling with the structural foam from the first
set takes about 15 minutes, depending on the construction
status of each model.
– Fill the total area -3- with structural foam via the extension
hose.
– Close the opening with a riveted nut -4- after filling with the
structural foam.
Note
Painting
When a higher-strength panel is warmed too quickly by drying
radiation waves, it will expand. However, if the panel is firmly
connected with the trim panels underneath it by welding points or
bonding, dents arise at this points which continue to remain visible
after the panel has cooled down. For this reason, heat radiators
must only be brought slowly to max. heating level. Drying in the
drying booth can proceed without risk.
Note
Note
♦ High and ultra high-strength and hot-formed steels are used in the area of the A, B and C-pillars. The welding
bars in this area are approx. 13 mm wide.
♦ If the welding points are positioned at the edge of the hot-formed panels, the structure of the plates is
changed through the increase in temperature in such a way that it has a negative effect on the crash be‐
haviour.

Peel test
– For the required displacement average of sheet metal RP
welding, determine the setting parameters according to the
manufacturer's specifications and test them with test plates.
– Check all point connections 100% with a chisel.
During this test, welding points of perfect quality do not tear in the
tangential plane but are “peeled off”.
– Cut out the knob diameter according to the following formula
and check on the test plates before the start of the repair.

7.1 Gluing
To increase the stiffness and strength of bodyshells, an increas‐
ingly greater number of spot welding joints and glued joints are
created at the factory.
These compounds differ as follows:
♦ With glued joints, the panels are only joined with glue.
♦ When gluing with additional point or rivet connections, so-
called hybrid bonding is used.
Note
Note
Note
For all work, adjust the riveting device to the thickness of the ma‐
terial. To prevent protruding flanges from being perforated, insert
staples into the pressed openings.
– Fasten the rivet and insert the rivet head with the rivet.
There are corresponding inserts available for different rivet diam‐
eters for the riveting machine.

8.1 Bore
The bore is used to loosen the spot welding seams of spot welding
and riveting. When drilling, ensure that the components at the rear
are not damaged. When the two- and multi-layer welded joints are
released, the sheet remaining on the vehicle must not be reduced
any more than is necessary. Before drilling out of the cavities,
carefully remove any chips (vacuum).
8.2 Cutting
When cutting, a distinction is made between two commonly used
device types:
♦ pneumatic saw with short stroke
♦ Oscillating saw
Advantages of pneumatic saws with short stroke:
♦ Quick cutting.
♦ Radius cutting can be carried out.
♦ It can also be used with profiles that have been significantly
shaped.
Advantages of oscillating saws:
♦ Clean straight cuts.
♦ Low penetration depth, therefore especially suitable for dou‐
ble-walled sheets.
Note
Before cutting from the cavities, carefully remove any chips (vac‐
uum).
8.3 Sanding
Grinding can be a very sensible alternative to drilling, especially
when loosening high-strength welded joints. Welding points, laser
seams or soldering seams can be loosened very easily by grind‐
ing. Again, care must be taken that the materials do not become
weaker than necessary, do not damage them.

unless authorised by ŠKODA AUTO A. S. ŠKODA AUTO A. S. does not guarantee or accept any liability
with respect to the correctness of information in this document. Copyright by ŠKODA AUTO A. S.
Disadvantages of grinding:
♦ Because of the sparks, valuable safety precautions are re‐
quired on the vehicle and in its surroundings.
♦ Higher temperatures than during drilling, which is why envi‐
ronmental and corrosion protection damage is impaired.
8.4 Milling
In the case of bodywork repairs, a distinction is drawn between
ball milling -A- and BTR milling -B-.
Spherical milling is used when spatial conditions do not allow the
use of BTR milling to loosen the spot welding seams.
When working with BTR milling cutters, make sure that the milling
cutter is not misaligned. Due to the milling distortion, it can easily
be bent. No drills should be used with regard to the milling design.
WARNING
When the adhesive joints are released, toxic gases are formed,
which is why good room ventilation and suitable smoke ex‐
traction are important. unless

10.1 Alignment
The bodyshell and the body platform are manufactured from cold-
formed deep-drawing panels in series production. For this reason,
the reverse deformation must be done in the same way.
Note
When aligning kinks with sharp edges, there is a risk that the
panel will suddenly tear.

AUTO A. S.
When painting small areas, it is advisable to use a cardboard
template with a hole cut in it that is slightly larger than the area to
be painted. The cardboard is held about 1-2 cm over the site. With
this method, a substantial part of the spray is trapped.
Before use, bring the can up to room temperature (+20 °C to +25
°C). Temperatures between +5 °C and +25 °C, max. humidity
60%.
Caution
Store in a dry place. Protect from sunlight and other heat sour‐
ces. Spray only in dry weather and in sheltered areas, as well
as in well-ventilated areas. Take note of further guidelines on
the label!
– Sand if necessary.
– Shake the can for about 2 minutes before use, until the mixing
balls audibly strike the sides of the can.

– Then clean the repair area with the cleaner. The flash-off time
is 5 minutes.
– Spray the adhesion agent thinly and observe a flash-off time
of 10 minutes.
– Now you can fill up the remaining unevenness with the adhe‐
sive and smooth it with a spatula.
– With an infra-red radiator you can accelerate curing. Set it to
15 minutes at 60 ... 70 ° C.
– Now sand the repair site with sandpaper grade P120.
– Now remove the sanding dust.
– Lacquer construction should be carried out according to the
repair booklet chapter on lacquer.
– you should also accelerate the curing with the infra-red radia‐
tor as mentioned above on the front.
– Now sand the repair site with sandpaper P120.
