Audi Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Installing Installation is carried out in the reverse order; note the following: –  Carefully remove sealant residues from cylinder block. For this purpose, remove baffle plate.   Caution Wear safety goggles.

–  Remove sealant residue from sump, e.g. with rotating plastic brush or similar. –  Clean sealing surfaces; they must be free of oil and grease.   Note! The sump must be installed within 5 minutes after applying the silicone sealant.

–  Cut off tube nozzle at front marking (nozzle approx. 3 mm Ø).

–  Apply bead of silicone sealant onto the clean sealing surface of the sump as shown in the illustration. l  Thickness of sealant bead: 2 ... 3 mm   Note! t  The sump must be installed within 5 minutes after applying the silicone sealant. t  The bead of sealant must not be thicker than specified, otherwise excess sealant can enter the sump and obstruct the strainer in the oil intake pipe. t  Take particular care when applying sealant bead in area of rear sealing flange -arrows- as shown in this figure.

–  Immediately install sump and tighten bolts in the sequence mentioned:

Sequence	Tightening
1	–  Tighten bolts -1 ... 18- in diagonal sequence initially to 5 Nm.
2	–  Tighten bolts securing sump to gearbox to 45 Nm.
3	–  Tighten bolts M10 -arrows- to 40 Nm.
4	–  Tighten bolts -1 ... 18- in diagonal sequence to 15 Nm.

Note!

t  Renew seals and gaskets. t  When installing the sump -3- with the engine removed from the vehicle, make sure that it is positioned flush with the intermediate plate -1- at the flywheel end. In other words, the sump should protrude by 0.8 mm (distance -a-) from cylinder block -2-. t  After fitting sump assembly, the sealant must dry for approx. 30 minutes. Only then may the engine oil be filled.
