necessary.
If it is necessary to use testing and measuring devices on road tests, observe the following:
WARNING: Distraction and improperly secured test equipment can lead to accidents.
There is a risk that the passenger airbag could deploy in a collision.
l Operating testing and measuring equipment while driving creates a

distraction.
l There is an increased risk of injury due to unsecured testing and
measuring equipment.
l Always secure testers on the rear seat with a strap and have a
second person on the rear seat operate them.
Note the following when working on the exhaust system:
CAUTION: Danger of damaging the decoupling element.
l Decoupling element must not be bent more than 10°.

l Do not load decoupling element on cable.
l Do not damage wire mesh at decoupling element.
CLEAN WORKING CONDITIONS
Even a little contamination can lead to faults. Observe the following guidelines for cleanliness when working on
the fuel system, injection system and turbocharger:
l Before loosening, connections and surrounding areas must be cleaned thoroughly with engine or brake
cleaner, and then cleaned area must be dried completely.
l Immediately seal off lines and connections with clean plugs or caps.
l Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover them. Use lint-free cloths.
l Carefully cover over opened components or seal, if repairs are not performed immediately.
l Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation. Do not
use parts that have been stored unpacked (for example in tool boxes etc.).
l When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely
necessary.
l Make sure no fuel gets onto the fuel hoses. If necessary, wipe off the fuel hoses immediately. Replace any
corroded fuel hoses.
l Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and moisture and only connect if dry.
ADAPTING ADAPTATION VALUE AFTER DRAINING ADBLUE® OR REPLACING COMPONENTS
The adaptation value in the engine control module must be adapted with the vehicle tester when the reducing
agent is drained or one of the components listed below is replaced.
l Active tank
l Reducing agent pump
l Reducing agent injector
l Reducing agent line
l Engine Control Module
-- Perform the adaptation using the vehicle tester in "Guided Functions" under "01-Adapting reducing agent
tank adaptation values".
ENGINE NUMBER
l The engine number ("engine code" and "serial number") is located on the left side in the front under the
high pressure pump toothed belt -arrow-.
Fig. 1: Identifying Engine Number Plate (Engine Code And Serial Number)
l In addition, a sticker with "engine code" and "serial number" is affixed to the intake manifold.
l Engine codes beginning with "C" are four-digit.
l The first 3 digits of the engine code stand for displacement and the mechanical structure of the engine.
They are stamped in the cylinder block, including the serial number.
l The fourth digit describes the engine output and torque and depends on the engine control module.
NOTE: The engine number is covered by the ribbed belt idler roller. Remove the ribbed
belt idler roller. Refer to LEFT RIBBED BELT IDLER ROLLER .
The 4-digit engine code is on the type plate, vehicle data label and engine
control module.
Locations of the type plate and vehicle data label.
ENGINE CONTAMINANTS
l To prevent foreign objects from entering when working on the engine, seal open intake and exhaust
channels with suitable plugs, for example from the engine bung set VAS 6122.
l If mechanical damage to a cylinder bank is found, check the intake and exhaust tract and the combustion
chambers in the opposite cylinder back for foreign objects to prevent further damage.
CONTACT CORROSION
Contact corrosion can occur if incorrect fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) are used.
For this reason, only install connecting elements that are treated with a special coating.
Also, rubber or plastic parts and adhesive consist of non-conductive materials.
If there are doubts about the suitability of parts, generally use new parts.
NOTE: Only original replacement parts are recommended, they are checked and
compatible with aluminum.
Audi accessories are recommended.
Damage due to contact corrosion is not covered by warranty.
COOLERS, CONDENSERS AND CHARGE AIR COOLERS
When assembled correctly, the radiator, condenser and turbocharger may have slight impressions on their fins.
This is not damage. Do not replace the radiator, condenser or turbocharger because of impressions like that.
LINES, ROUTING AND SECURING
l Mark the individual fuel, hydraulic and vacuum lines for the EVAP canister system as well as the
electrical wires before disconnecting and/or removing them. This will prevent a mix-up when
reconnecting them. If necessary, draw sketches or take pictures.
l Due to the limited space inside the engine compartment, be especially careful when working near moving
or hot parts. This will also prevent damaging the lines.

FUEL SYSTEM, CHECKING FOR LEAKS
-- Let the engine run a few minutes at a moderate speed.
-- Turn off the ignition.
-- Check the entire fuel system for leaks.
-- If there are leaks in spite of correct tightening specifications, the corresponding component must be replaced.
-- Then perform a road test and depress the accelerator pedal all the way at least one time.
-- Then check the high pressure area again for leaks.
VACUUM SYSTEM, CHECKING
l Hand Vacuum Pump VAS 6213
Procedure
-- Check all vacuum lines in the vacuum system for:
l Cracks
l Damage caused by animals
l Crimps
l Leaks and leakage
-- Check the vacuum line leading to and from the solenoid valve.
-- If there is a fault, check the vacuum lines for the named component, but also all the vacuum lines.
-- If using the VAS 6213 does not produce any vacuum or if the vacuum drops again right away, then check the
hand vacuum pump and the connection hoses for leaks.
