Installing driveshaft - Audi A4 and Cabriolet, Audi A6
Installation is in reverse order of removal. Note the following:
^
Remove old and dry high-temperature grease from CV joints and flanges for driveshaft. Fill the exact same amount of new grease G 000 633.
^
Always remove any remaining locking fluid from thread bores in drive flanges for transmission driveshaft and for rear final drive. Cleaning can be
performed with a tap. Otherwise, the securing bolts can shear while installing.

After disconnecting driveshaft from rear final drive, an additional balance washer (thick washer) that may be located between shim and a mounting
bolt may not be reinstalled.
^
Always replace (self-locking) securing bolts for driveshaft.
^
Note installation position of driveshaft: Center CV joint is located behind intermediate bearing in direction facing the rear final drive.
^
Make sure that the markings on flange for driveshaft - arrow A - and for transmission/rear final drive - arrow B - line up.

If a new driveshaft is installed and the factory marking on the rear final drive flange is no longer visible, check radial run out at flange/driveshaft
and adjust color marking at new driveshaft to new marking at flange/driveshaft.
-
Replace seals for driveshaft at transmission/rear final drive flange. Remove grease from sealing surfaces and adhere new seals.
-
