WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 11 other vehicles, including the 2016 Audi S4, 2016 Audi A4 Quattro, 2015 Audi S4, 2015 Audi A4 Quattro, and 2014 Audi S4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

Always replace both differential bearings together.

Adjustments are required when replacing components marked with 1) . The differential mounting is installed with two tapered roller bearings (standard bearing) through transmission production date 08/14/2011.

Adjustments are required when replacing components marked with 2) . The differential mounting is installed with 1 tapered roller bearing and 1 angular contact ball bearing (efficient bearing) from transmission production date 08/15/2011.

With the exception of the tapered roller bearing/angular contact ball bearing, none of the differential components can be replaced at this time. Bearings and adjustment shims allocation. Allocate correct components. .
