WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Audi SQ5, 2024 Audi Q5 e, 2024 Audi Q5, 2023 Audi SQ5, and 2023 Audi Q5 e. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- 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 GEAR ACTUATOR MODULE AND HYDRAULIC PRESSURE RESERVOIR, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
CAUTION:
The system is under pressure.
- Wear protective eyewear and hearing protection when discharging 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.
