Intermediate Sprocket Tightening Sequence

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 11 other vehicles, including the 2016 Audi A4 Quattro, 2016 Audi A4, 2015 Audi A4 Quattro, 2015 Audi A4, and 2014 Audi A4 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: There Is a Risk of Destroying the Engine When the Intermediate Sprocket Is Missing Backlash.

The new intermediate sprocket has an anti-friction coating that wears off after a short period of use, which automatically adjusts the backlash.

Never reuse the intermediate sprocket.

Replace the bolts that were tightened with an additional turn after removing them.
