Exhaust system components, servicing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Audi A4, 2005 Audi A4, 2004 Audi A4, and 2003 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- Always replace gaskets and self-locking nuts.
- After working on the exhaust system, ensure that the system is not under stress and that it has sufficient clearance from bodywork. If necessary, loosen clamps and align mufflers and exhaust pipes so that sufficient clearance is maintained to bodywork at all points and mountings are evenly loaded.
- To avoid damage, do not bend the decoupling element of the front exhaust pipe by more than 10 °.
