Audi Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Special tools and workshop equipment required

• ◆ Support bar 10-222A

• ◆ VAS 5024 A

Check adjustment

• ‒ → Unscrew coolant expansion tank and refill reservoir for power steering -arrows-.

• ‒ Detach the cover and the electrical connector at the right headlight unit.
• ‒ → Disconnect fuel-feed line -2- and fuel-return line -1- at injection pump.
• ‒ Disconnect the electrical connection -3- at the sender -G71/-G72.
• ‒ Expose the wiring at the air duct pipe.
• ‒ Remove the air duct pipe on right side -arrows-.

• ‒ → Both bolt heads -b- must be flush with the edge of the support arm -2-.
• ‒ Between engine console -1- and support arm -2- of the right engine mounting must be a distance a = 13 mm.
• Use a 12 mm flat bar (if necessary, use special tool 2011) to check distance -a-. It must be easy to insert the flat bar.

Adjusting

If the distance measured is too small or too large, proceed as follows:

• ‒ → Remove air duct hose -1- from air duct pipe.
• ‒ Detach connector of air mass meter -3-.
• ‒ Unscrew bolts -4- and -5-.
• ‒ Remove vent hose -2- from rear of air cleaner housing.
• ‒ Take out air cleaner housing.

• ‒ → Set up support bar 10-222 A on wing panel bolt flange.
• ‒ Attach spindles in both lifting eyes.
• ‒ Slightly lift engine using both spindles evenly.

• ‒ → Loosen bolts -arrows- of assembly mounting on engine...

• ‒ → ... and from gearbox. Replace all 4 bolts one by one (if not already done so when engine was installed) and hand-tighten.

• ‒ → Loosen bolts -b- of support arms on left and right approx. two turns.
• ‒ Using an tyre lever, displace engine between engine console -1- and support arm -2- until the distance on the engine side is a = 13 mm.
• ‒ It must be easy to insert a 12 mm flat bar (or special tool 2011).
• ‒ Both bolt heads -b- must be flush with the edge of the support arm.
• ‒ Tighten the bolts -b- to 100 Nm on assembly mounting on engine side.

• ‒ → Ensure that the edges on the load arm on the gearbox side -a- and gearbox console -b- are parallel.
• ‒ Tighten the bolts to 100 Nmon assembly mounting on gearbox side.

The remaining installation steps are carried out in the reverse sequence:
