Hydraulic Pressure Reservoir, Disposing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 14 other vehicles, including the 2020 Audi A4 allroad, 2020 Audi A4 Quattro, 2020 Audi A4, 2019 Audi A5 Quattro, and 2019 Audi A4 allroad. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The installed hydraulic pressure reservoir is around a closed hollow body; that is impinged on by the prefilled working gas (nitrogen) with an inner pressure
Because it is prohibited to scrap a closed hollow body, the hydraulic pressure reservoir must be drained before disposal.
-- Remove the hydraulic pressure reservoir. Refer to TRANSMISSION, DISASSEMBLING AND ASSEMBLING .
WARNING:
The system is under pressure.
- Wear protective eyewear and hearing protection when engaging the pressure reservoir.
- When the drill bit passes through in the gas space due to the internal pressure the shavings can be flung around.
-- Tension the hydraulic pressure reservoir in the vise.
-- Completely drill out approximately 25 mm -dimension x- from the square deck area with a 3 mm drill bit.
-- The pressureless hydraulic pressure reservoir can then be scrapped.
