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.
NOTE:

The adjustable steering column is maintenance free. It is supplied as a replacement part with a highly tensioned spring for tilt adjustment of the steering column. Except for replacing and adjusting the cable, no other repairs are possible.

If a steering column is removed and reinstalled in the same or another vehicle, installation sleeve, Part No. 4A0 419 913, is to be used for the installation.
