Repair Kit For FLEXRAY Wires Without Coating

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Audi S3, 2023 Audi RS 3, 2023 Audi A3 Quattro, and 2023 Audi A3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Observe general notes for repairs on the vehicle electrical system. Refer to VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, GENERAL REPAIR INFORMATION .

The repair of FlexRay wires without coating can only take place using FlexRay wires without coating from the Electronic Parts Information (ETKA).

Unshielded, twisted two-wire lines -1 and 2- with a cross section of 0.35 mm ² can be used as FlexRay wires.

During repair work, both FlexRay wires must have the same length.
When twisting the wires -1 and 2- together, the -A- = 20 mm (0.79 in.) routing length must be maintained.
While doing so, no section of wire may be greater than -B- = 40 mm (1.57 in.) without twisting the wires, for example in the area of crimp connectors -arrow-.
Mark the location of the repair with something suitable, for example, with yellow tape.
Repairing both FlexRay wires is identical to repairing just one wire.
Position both repaired locations -A- = 20 mm (0.79 in.) opposite each other.
