Audi Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Performing basic setting Requirements l  The oil level in reservoir for clutch mechanism and gear selector mechanism is correct → 5-speed Manual Gearbox 085 DS; Rep. Gr.34. l  There must be no faults in the fault memory, if necessary these must be remedied first. l  The vehicle electrical system voltage must be above 12.4 V. Important! If you want to carry out a final control diagnosis via the guided fault-finding using the vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS 5051 A-, this must always be performed prior to the basic setting, otherwise any existing faults are not detected or erroneously detected. Procedure –  Apply handbrake fully. –  Connect the vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS 5051 A- → Chapter and select the vehicle system “02 - Gearbox electronics”. Ignition must be on. Important! –  Press the selector lever into the tiptronic gate.

Display on -VAS 5051 A-: –  From list -1- select diagnostic function “08 - Read measured value block”.

Display on -VAS 5051 A-: 1 -  Enter display group (max. input value = 255) –  Use keypad -2- to enter “2” for “Display group 002” and confirm by touching Q key.

Display on -VAS 5051 A-: –  In the display zone -2- check the voltage value of the clutch travel sender -G162-. l  Specified value: 1.85 … 1.95 V   Note t  If the voltage is approx. 5 V, the clutch disengages immediately after switching on the ignition, without the brake pedal being pressed. The basic setting cannot be performed in this case. To remedy the fault → Chapter „Vehicle does not start“. t  If the value is just outside the specified value range, adjust the voltage value for the clutch travel sender -G162- → Chapter. –  End function “08 - Read measured value block” by touching ← key. In the further course of the basic setting various operations must now be performed. Note the work instructions shown on the display. –  Sit on the driver's seat and move the -VAS 5051 A- beside you to within reach. –  Press the selector lever into the tiptronic gate.

Display on -VAS 5051 A-: –  From list -1- select diagnostic function “04 - Basic setting”.

Display on -VAS 5051 A-: 1 -  Enter display group –  Use keypad -2- to enter “14” for “Display group 14” and confirm by touching Q key. l  The selector lever must be located in the tiptronic gate.

Display on -VAS 5051 A-: –  The text in display zone -1- determines what you must do. Adhere to the instructions in the following tables with regard to the various texts. Otherwise the basic setting will be aborted by the system.   Note t  Procedure in the event that the basic setting is aborted, the text “RTFM!” is displayed or the basic setting is not continued → Chapter „If during the basic setting the connection is interrupted/breaks off“. t  “IGN.OFF!” may appear briefly. In this case, wait until the -VAS 5051 A- switches to the next display. If the display of “IGN.OFF!” does not switch to the next display, you must interrogate the fault memory and remedy any faults. Then erase fault memory. Perform basic setting once more from the beginning.

1)  The gear actuator is now in neutral, i.e. it is in the idling gate between the 1st and 2nd gear. Adjusting gear actuator l  Hose/pipe assembly, potentiometer for gear recognition and valves for gear selection connected.

l  If the gear actuator has been replaced, the screw -arrow- serving as a transport lock must be removed.   Note This screw is only fitted for new gear actuators for transport. It must always be removed when the gear actuator is installed in the vehicle. –  If fitted, remove the noise insulation under engine/gearbox. l  The selector lever must be located in the tiptronic gate.

–  Carry out the following steps carefully as described: –  Release nut -arrow- until ball head moves freely in selector finger -1-.   Note Do not unscrew nut, just release it. l  Ball head in selector finger -1- is now automatically moved into position by gear actuator. –  Tighten nut -arrow- in this position to 20 Nm. Do not change position of ball head.   Note When tightening the nut, it must be ensured that the position of the selector finger for the selector rod is not changed to ensure that the adjustment remains free of stress. –  To continue the basic setting, shift the selector lever to position “D” and then back to the tiptronic gate.
