Affected Vehicles
Condition
^ The front interior door trim panel on the driver's side is being replaced.
^ The vehicle has an alarm inclination sensor disable switch in the rear edge of the door trim panel.
Tip:
This bulletin does not justify the replacement of a driver door panel for any reason. This bulletin is supplemental for when a driver door panel is
replaced.
Technical Background
Any replacement of the interior door trim panel on the driver's side must be reinforced with adhesive before the new part is installed on the vehicle.
There is potential for the door to become weak when cutting out the new hole for the alarm switch. The switch disables the inclination sensor for the
alarm system in the event the vehicle is towed.
The techniques used to cut the access hole for the switch can vary. To ensure the new door panel does not form a crack over time, the adhesive must be
used to strengthen the new door panel.
The switch was only standard equipment on MY 2005-2006 A6 and S6 vehicles, thus this procedure does not apply to newer C6 A6 vehicles.
Production Solution
None.
Service
1. Ensure the following conditions are met:
^ You have set aside enough time to allow the adhesive to dry for one hour.
^ You have obtained the proper adhesive.
^ You are working with a new interior door trim panel.
