Tightening Specifications
• 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 parts that have had the lubrication removed.
• Tolerance for tightening specifications ±15%.
Subframe mount. Refer to => [ Subframe Mount Assembly Overview ] Subframe Mount Assembly Overview.
Ground bolt to strut tower - tightening specification
- Tighten the ground bolt - 1 - to 9 Nm.
Tightening specification for ground wires to the longitudinal member
- Tighten the nut - arrow - to 9 Nm.
Engine to automatic transmission 0B6
• Audi A4 from VIN 8K-9-066500, Audi A5 from VIN 8T-9-008000: The aluminum bolts - 2 through 11 - may be used two times. After using the bolts once, mark them with an "X" made by a chisel - arrow -.
• To avoid damaging the bolts when marking them, do not clamp them in a vise. Insert the bolt in a 14 mm socket with a 1/2 inch drive ratchet which is clamped into a vise, as shown in the illustration.
• Do not used bolts marked with an "X" again.
Procedure
• Replace bolts which have been tightened to torque.
• Replace self-locking nuts and bolts as well as sealing rings, seals and O-rings.
• The drive plate in the vehicles with the automatic transmission 0B6 must not have any needle bearings. Check if a needle bearing is inserted before installing. Remove the needle bearing in the drive plate. Refer to => [ Needle Bearing on Drive Plate ] Service and Repair.
• Secure all hose connections with hose clamps appropriate for the model.
• In order to be able to securely mount the air guide hoses on their connectors, spray the bolts on the previously used clamps with a rust remover.
• During installation, all cable ties must be re-installed at the same location.
- Install the engine supports and engine mount. Refer to => [ Subframe Mount Assembly Overview ] Subframe Mount Assembly Overview.
- When jointing the engine and subframe, hold the ATF lines in their installation position.
- Clean the threaded holes in the cylinder block for connecting the engine and transmission using a thread tap before installing the transmission.
- Complete the following steps before connecting the engine and transmission:
- Turn the torque converter so that the hole next to the notch - arrow - is visible in the transmission housing in the lower cut-out, as illustrated.
• The notch is only in one location on the circumference, so rotate the torque converter as needed.
- Install the Transport Lock (T40170) into the transmission housing from underneath and secure it to the flange shaft - 1 -.
- Make sure the alignment sleeves - A - for centering the engine and transmission in the cylinder block are present. Insert the alignment sleeves if they are missing.
- Determine if the engine/transmission aluminum bolts can be used again and mark them if necessary.
- Position the transmission on the engine and tighten bolts - 1 and 6 through 11 -.
- Remove Transport Lock (T40170).
• The following procedure is necessary to assure that the torque converter contacts the drive plate evenly and does not get bent.
- Press the torque converter - 2 - slightly against the drive plate - 3 - using a pry bar - 1 - in direction of - arrow -.
- Secure the torque converter to the drive plate as follows:
• Tighten the bolt with the Ring Spanner Insert AF 16 (V.A.G 1332/14).
- Install the first bolt - arrow - by hand (2 Nm).
- Insert Adapter (T40058) guide pins as follows:
• The large diameter - arrow 1 - faces the engine.
• Small diameter - arrow 2 - points to adapter.
- Rotate the crankshaft with the Socket (T40058) 180° in direction of engine rotation - arrow -.
- Tighten the bolts that are accessible in this position to the tightening specifications.
- Turn the crankshaft 60° further and tighten the remaining 5 bolts to the tightening specification.
- Install the power steering hydraulic oil lines.
- Install the left and right drive axles on the transmission flange shafts.
- Install the catalytic converters. Refer to: Left => [ Left Catalytic Converter, Multitronic or Automatic Transmission ] Left Catalytic Converter, Multitronic or Automatic Transmission, right => [ Right Catalytic Converter, Automatic Transmission ] Right Catalytic Converter, Automatic Transmission.
- Raise the engine/transmission assembly using the Scissor Lift Table (VAS 6131 A).
- Align the subframe and transmission carrier using the marks made on the longitudinal members during removal.
- Tighten the subframe bolts only to the tightening specifications, do not tighten them further (tighten the bolts only after axle alignment).
Risk of accident due to loose connections.
• If the bolts in the subframe are not tightened to final torque, vehicle must not be driven.
- Tighten the tunnel crossmember bolts - arrow -.
The rest of installation is in reverse order of removal, note the following:
- Install universal joint on the steering gear.
- Install the driveshaft.
- Install front muffler. Refer to => [ Front Muffler ] Front Muffler.
- Install exhaust system free of stress. Refer to => [ Exhaust System, Installing ] Service and Repair.
- Install front crossmember.
- Install the subframe crossbrace, upper control arm and stabilizer bar and tighten the suspension strut on the control arm.
- Install brake caliper.
- Install Engine Control Module (ECM).
- Electrical connections and routing.
