Audi Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Note:

Door shell must already be adjusted.

• ‒ → Screw on bolts -arrow- so that door subframe -1- can just still be adjusted (bolt at adjuster wedge -3- is only to be fitted but not tightened).
• ‒ Have second mechanic sit in vehicle
• ‒ Close door.

• ‒ → Have second mechanic press door subframe from inside against roof and B-pillar.
  Subframe must be forced slightly to allow for resilience of rubber seal.
• ‒ First mechanic checks correct positioning of door subframe from outside.
• ‒ Push adjuster wedge -3- upwards, until it contacts the surfaces of the door shell -2- and the door subframe -1-.

Angle of door can be adjusted in C-pillar area by shifting adjuster wedge -3-.

For example, if the door protrudes too far at the back, the adjuster wedge must be pushed further up.

The bottom of the door consequently slopes towards the centre of the vehicle and the top of the door leans outwards.

• ‒ → Carefully open door and tighten bolts -arrow-.
  Tightening torque 30 Nm.
• ‒ Close door and check adjustment of door subframe -1-.
• ‒ Procedure must be repeated if the adjustment of door subframe is still not correct.
