WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi S6 and 2024 Audi A6 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
It is safe to assume that everyone has been shocked at one time or another when coming into contact with a metal object. The reason for this is the build-up of static electricity in the human body. This charge can cause malfunctions when contacting the electrical components for the steering gear.
-- Touch a grounded object, such as a water line or a hoist, before working on electrical components. Do not make direct contact with the connector terminals.
