WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Audi A4, 2007 Audi A4, 2006 Audi A4, and 2005 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Loosen nuts and bolts in reverse sequence to the specified tightening sequence.
- Nuts and bolts which secure covers and housings should be loosened and tightened in diagonal sequence and in stages if no tightening sequence is specified.
- Loosen and tighten particularly sensitive parts in diagonal sequence and in stages, taking care to keep them straight.
- The tightening torques stated apply to non-oiled nuts and bolts.
- Always replace self-locking bolts and nuts.
- Clean the threads of bolts which are secured by a locking compound with a wire brush. Then lubricate bolts with locking compound AMV185101A1 again before installing.
- Threaded holes which take self-locking bolts or bolts coated with locking compound must be cleaned (using a thread tap or similar). Otherwise there is a danger of the bolts shearing when subsequently being removed.
