General information

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 17 other vehicles, including the 2009 Audi S4, 2009 Audi A4, 2008 Audi S4, 2008 Audi RS 4, and 2008 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Only approved oil should be used for filling or topping off.

To attach or detach charging device V.A.S 6209/2 , system line to be checked must be locked at central valve to limit the quantity of oil leaked to a minimum and to prevent pressurized central valve from emptying.

Before removal or separation, the corresponding line for every DRC component is to be locked at central valve. If work on DRC with unlocked central valve results in even a small amount of oil, a system pressure check with comparison to specified values must be performed in every case. If minimum pressure is not met, central valve must be replaced.

Small oil leak with locked central valve which results from connecting or disconnected charging device V.A.S 6209/2 at connection is not critical. Avoid repeating measurements because a small quantity of oil is removed from the system every time V.A.S 6209/2 is connected. Every connection results in a pressure decrease of approx. 0.3 bar from the previous reading. In this way, multiple repeats of measurements cause pressure to fall below minimum level or malfunction.

Dampers and lines are delivered empty as replacement parts.

Filling must only be done at room temperature (approx. 20° Celsius).

Dampers must only be filled when installed.

Vehicle must never be placed on wheels with closed, filled system and locked central valves. This inevitably leads to leaks and system malfunction.

Lines must not be bent.
