Installing Driveshaft
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 16 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi S5, 2016 Audi S5, 2015 Audi S5, 2014 Audi S5, and 2013 Audi S5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Install in reverse order of removal. Pay attention to the following:
- Remove the old, dry high-temperature grease from the CV joint and the driveshaft flange. Fill with the exact same amount of new high temperature grease G 000 633.
- The threads in the flange shaft on the transmission must be cleaned of locking fluid residue. Use a thread tap to clean the threads. If the threads are not clean, the bolts will break off when they are being installed.
- Always replace securing bolts for driveshaft (self-locking bolts).
-- Check the driveshaft seal on the transmission flange for damage and replace if damaged.
-- Install driveshaft and the new CV joint bolts.
-- Tighten the bolts on the front driveshaft. Tightening specification, refer to item 5.
- Use the T10172 with the T10172/5 to do this.
-- Tighten the heat shield -A- to the transmission -arrows-. Tightening specification, refer to Figure.
-- Install the exhaust system and align it without tension. Refer to the appropriate service information .
