Audi Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Special tools and workshop equipment required

• ◆ Support bar 10-222A

Checking adjustment

• ‒ → Remove engine covers -arrows-.

Note:

Fig. shows bolted engine cover.

• ‒ → Detach the coolant expansion tank -1- and refill reservoir -2- for power steering. Do not detach hoses.

Note:

The ACF -3- remains installed.

• ‒ → 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.

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

• ‒ → Disconnect the air duct hose -3- from the air mass meter.
• ‒ Unplug connector -4- at air mass meter.
• ‒ Where fitted, disconnect vacuum hoses -1- and -2- at air cleaner housing.
• ‒ Unscrew bolts -5- and -6-.
• ‒ Remove air cleaner housing.

Note:

Push a plastic or wooden support between the wing mounting flange and side panel in order to prevent deformation of the wing.

• ‒ → Set up support bar 10-222 A in front of gas pressure spring onto wing bolt edge. Spindles are at the front.
• ‒ Attach the snap hooks of the spindles to the lifting eye or bracket T10013.
• ‒ Lift engine with both spindles evenly and slightly.

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

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

• ‒ → Loosen bolts -b- of support arms on left and right approx. two turns.
• ‒ Using an assembly iron displace engine between engine console -1- and support arm -2- until the distance on 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 bolts -b- for mechanical unit bracket on engine side 60 Nm + 90°.

• ‒ → Ensure that the edges on the load arm on the gearbox side -a- and gearbox console -b- are parallel.
• ‒ Tighten bolts -b- for mechanical unit bracket on gearbox side to 60 Nm + 90°.

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