With Multitronic Transmission
Engine, Installing
Procedure
• During assembly, replace self-locking nuts and bolts.
• Always replace bolts that are tightened to torque as well as sealing rings, gaskets and O-rings.
• Secure all hose connections with hose clamps appropriate for the model.
• During installation, all cable ties must be re-installed at the same location.
- Check if alignment sleeves for centering the engine and transmission are in the cylinder block and insert them if they are not.
- Clean transmission input shaft splines and damper unit splines on the flywheel, remove corrosion and apply a very thin coating of clutch disc connection lubricant (G 000 100) on the splines. Remove all excess grease.
- Install intermediate plate between engine and transmission onto alignment bushings.
- Install transmission on the engine using new bolts.
• Tightening specifications only apply to lightly greased, oiled, phosphated or blackened nuts and bolts.
• Additional lubricants, such as engine or transmission oil are permissible, although lubricants containing graphite are not.
• Do not use any degreased parts.
• Tolerance for torque specifications ±15%.
Engine/transmission, fastening
- Fasten ATF lines.
- Install front exhaust pipes. Refer to: Left => [ Left Front Exhaust Pipe with Catalytic Converter, Automatic Transmission ] Left Front Exhaust Pipe With Catalytic Converter, Automatic Transmission; right => [ Right Front Exhaust Pipe with Catalytic Converter ] Right Front Exhaust Pipe With Catalytic Converter.
- Rotate attachment spindles at left of engine/transmission assembly downward.
- Remove base plate for left support element on scissor lift platform (VAS 6131 A).
- Rotate attachment spindles at right of engine/transmission assembly downward.
- Turn spindle of right support element on engine downward.
- Remove base plate for right support element on scissor lift platform (VAS 6131 A).
• The support points for front of engine and rear of transmission remain unchanged.
- Equip scissor lift platform (VAS 6131 A) with support set for Audi (VAS 6131/10) as follows:
- Position subframe on both Attachments (VAS 6131/10-8 ).
- Twist spindles of support elements upward on both sides.
- Carefully guide engine/transmission assembly from below into body using Scissor Lift Table (VAS 6131 A) far enough so distance between subframe and body is dimension - a -.
• Dimension - a - = 80 mm.
- Place torque support with torque support stop between lock carrier and engine.
- Press ball socket - 2 - of selector lever cable onto selector shaft lever.
- Install bracket - 1 - on transmission according to the identification.
- Insert drive axles into spines of left and right wheel bearing housings.
- Loosely bolt guide control arm - 1 - and control arm - 2 - to the subframe.
• Bolts must first be tightened once the vehicle is sitting on its wheels on the floor.
- Align subframe according to the markings on the longitudinal members made during removal.
- Tighten bolts for subframe and engine mount bracket only to specified torque. Do not tighten further (tighten bolts only after axle alignment).
1. 65 Nm
2. 110 Nm
3. 110 Nm
4. 75 Nm
CAUTION!
Vehicle must not be driven in this condition.
The rest of installation is in reverse order of removal, noting the following:
- Align exhaust system free of tension. Refer to => [ Exhaust System, Installing ] Exhaust System, Installing.
- Install refrigerant lines.
- Install vacuum pump for brake booster. Refer to => [ Brake Booster Vacuum Pump ] Brake Booster Vacuum Pump.
- Install drive axles.
- Install guide control arm, control arm, stabilizer bar and suspension strut.
- Tighten bolts - arrows - for torque support.
- Place torque support on rubber buffer for torque support and tighten bolts - arrows -.
- Electrical connections and routing.
- Observe safety precautions after connecting battery.
CAUTION!
Do not use a battery charger for starting assistance! There is the risk that the vehicle control modules could be damaged.
- Mount wiper arms and adjust.
- Check selector lever cable adjustment.
- Check oil level.
- Bleed fuel system.
- Remove old O-ring - 2 - in coolant hose - 3 -.
- Moisten new O-ring with coolant additive and install it in the coolant hose.
- Press coolant hose onto the radiator or coolant pipe - 1 - until it engages.
- Press coolant hose on again and pull to make sure the connection is engaged correctly.
- Fill with coolant => [ Filling ] Procedures.
• Only reuse drained coolant if cylinder head or engine block was not replaced.
• Dirty coolant must not be re-used.
- Fill power-steering system oil and bleed steering system.
- Check ATF level.
- Align subframe and both engine mount consoles..
- Perform axle alignment.
CAUTION!
After axle alignment, tighten subframe bolts to final torque.
- Fill refrigerant circuit.
