ent shift point occurs automatically.
Advantages:
It is shifted depending on consumption;
Maximum engine output is always available;
Individual adaptation of shift points in all driving situations;
Gear shift points are infinitely variable.
OBD
Before beginning any service work on the automatic transmission,
determine the cause of the damage using Guided Fault Finding.
The Guided Fault-finding is performed using the Vehicle Diag
nosis, Testing and Information System - VAS 5051 A- .
Shift Point Changes on Inclines and Declines
An additional gear change map automatically selects the gear
changes for gradients dependent upon accelerator pedal position
and driving speed.
The gear change map for extreme uphill stretches is matched
to engine output
The gear change map for extreme downhill stretches is match
ed to the braking effect of the engine.
Direct gear selection by way of the Tiptronic function permits
utilization of engine braking action with a specific gear engag
ed, for example, on a downhill gradient with a trailer.

Repair Information
The maximum possible care and cleanliness and proper tools are
essential to ensure satisfactory and successful transmission re
pairs. The usual basic safety precautions also, naturally apply
when carrying out vehicle repairs.
A number of generally applicable instructions for individual repair
operations, which are otherwise mentioned at various points in
the Workshop Manual, are summarized here. They apply to this
repair manual.
WARNING
Before working with engine running, move the selector lever to

P and set the parking brake.
Contact Corrosion
Contact corrosion can occur if incorrect connecting elements
(bolts, nuts, washers, etc.), rivets, plugs, grommets, adhesive,
etc., are used.
For this reason, the manufacturer only uses compatible fasteners,
coated with a special surface coating if necessary.
Rubber, plastic and adhesives also consist of non-conductive
material.
These tested parts are also made available as replacement parts.
Refer to the Electronic Parts Catalog (ETKA) .
If there are any doubts as to whether parts should be reused, just
install new parts.
Caution
Accessories must be approved by AUDI AG!

Warranty does not cover contact corrosion damage.

With the transmission removed, secure the torque converter
so that it cannot fall out.
Check installation dimension of torque converter before in
stalling transmission , page 14 .
When installing transmission, make sure that the alignment
bushings are fitted correctly.
When exchanging automatic transmission or components, all
fluid levels should be checked and corrected, if necessary. Al
so, all transmission oil lines must be cleaned. Capacities and
specifications, refer to 5 Capacities, page 5 .
O-rings, shaft seals, sealing rings and seals
Always replace o-rings, shaft seals, sealing rings and seals
after removal.
After removing gaskets, examine contact surface on housing/
shaft for burr resulting from removal or for other signs of dam
age.
Before installing radial shaft seal, fill space between sealing
lips -arrow- halfway with grease - G 052 128 A1- .
The open side of the shaft seals point toward the fluid to be
sealed in.
Before installing, lightly lubricate shaft seal outer circumfer
ence and sealing lips with ATF or gear oil, depending on
installation location.
Coat o-rings
with ATF before inserting to prevent crushing
rings during
installation.
permitted
unless authorised by AUDI AG. AUDI AG does not guarantee or accept any liability
Always only use approved ATF. Other types of lubrication

cause faults to occur in the transmission hydraulics.
Press in new shaft seal, so that the sealing lip does not run on
the same point as the sealing lip of the old shaft seal (use
insertion depth tolerances).
Replace paper gaskets, thoroughly clean sealing surfaces and
completely remove old seals.
After installing, check the relevant fluid levels and fill if neces
sary. Capacities and specifications 5 Capacities, page 5
Bolts and Nuts
Loosen the bolts opposite the tightening sequence.
Nuts and bolts which secure covers and housings should be
loosened and tightened crosswise in stages if no tightening
sequence is specified.
The tightening specifications stated apply to non-oiled nuts
and bolts.
Always replace self-locking nuts and bolts.
Use a wire brush to clean the threads of bolts that were
screwed in with locking compound. Install the bolts with lock
ing fluid - AMV 185 101 A1- .
Threaded holes into which self-locking bolts or bolts coated
with locking fluid are screwed, must be cleaned (e.g. tap).
Otherwise there is a risk that the bolts will shear the next time
they are removed.
6. Repair Information

Cautions & Warnings

Please read these WARNINGS and CAUTIONS before proceeding with maintenance
and repair work. You must answer that you have read and you understand these
WARNINGS and CAUTIONS before you will be allowed to view this information.
=
If you lack the skills, tools and equipment, or a suitable workshop for any procedure described in
this manual, we suggest you leave such repairs to an authorized Audi retailer or other qualified
shop. We especially urge you to consult an authorized Audi retailer before beginning repairs on
any vehicle that may still be covered wholly or in part by any of the extensive warranties issued by
Audi.
Disconnect the battery negative terminal (ground strap)whenever you work on the fuel system or
the electrical system. Do not smoke or work near heaters or other fire hazards. Keep an approved
fire extinguisher handy.
Audi is constantly improving its vehicles and sometimes these changes, both in parts and
specifications, are made applicable to earlier models. Therefore, part numbers listed in this
manual are for reference only. Always check with your authorized Audi retailer parts department
for the latest information.

Never work under a lifted vehicle unless it is solidly supported on stands designed for the purpose.
Do not support a vehicle on cinder blocks, hollow tiles or other props that may crumble under
continuous load. Never work under a vehicle that is supported solely by a jack. Never work under
the vehicle while the engine is running.
For vehicles equipped with an anti-theft radio, be sure of the correct radio activation code before
disconnecting the battery or removing the radio. If the wrong code is entered when the power is
restored, the radio may lock up and become inoperable, even if the correct code is used in a later
attempt.
If you are going to work under a vehicle on the ground, make sure that the ground is level. Block
the wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling. Disconnect the battery negative terminal (ground
strap) to prevent others from starting the vehicle while you are under it.
Do not attempt to work on your vehicle if you do not feel well. You increase the danger of injury to
yourself and others if you are tired, upset or have taken medicine or any other substances that
may impair you or keep you from being fully alert.
Never run the engine unless the work area is well ventilated. Carbon monoxide (CO) kills.
Always observe good workshop practices. Wear goggles when you operate machine tools or work
with acid. Wear goggles, gloves and other protective clothing whenever the job requires working
with harmful substances.
Tie long hair behind your head. Do not wear a necktie, a scarf, loose clothing, or a necklace when
you work near machine tools or running engines. If your hair, clothing, or jewelry were to get
caught in the machinery, severe injury could result.

Cautions & Warnings

=
Do not re-use any fasteners that are worn or deformed in normal use. Some fasteners are
designed to be used only once and are unreliable and may fail if used a second time. This
includes, but is not limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and cotter pins. Always follow the
recommendations in this manual - replace these fasteners with new parts where indicated, and
any other time it is deemed necessary by inspection.
Illuminate the work area adequately but safely. Use a portable safety light for working inside or
under the vehicle. Make sure the bulb is enclosed by a wire cage. The hot filament of an
accidentally broken bulb can ignite spilled fuel or oil.
Friction materials such as brake pads and clutch discs may contain asbestos fibers. Do not create
dust by grinding, sanding, or by cleaning with compressed air. Avoid breathing asbestos fibers and
asbestos dust. Breathing asbestos can cause serious diseases such as asbestosis or cancer, and
may result in death.
Finger rings should be removed so that they cannot cause electrical shorts, get caught in running
machinery, or be crushed by heavy parts.
Before starting a job, make certain that you have all the necessary tools and parts on hand. Read
all the instructions thoroughly, do not attempt shortcuts. Use tools that are appropriate to the work
and use only replacement parts meeting Audi specifications. Makeshift tools, parts and
procedures will not make good repairs.
Catch draining fuel, oil or brake fluid in suitable containers. Do not use empty food or beverage
containers that might mislead someone into drinking from them. Store flammable fluids away from
fire hazards. Wipe up spills at once, but do not store the oily rags, which can ignite and burn
spontaneously.
Use pneumatic and electric tools only to loosen threaded parts and fasteners. Never use these
tools to tighten fasteners, especially on light alloy parts. Always use a torque wrench to tighten
fasteners to the tightening torque listed.
Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame away from the top of the battery. If escaping
hydrogen gas is ignited, it will ignite gas trapped in the cells and cause the battery to explode.
Be mindful of the environment and ecology. Before you drain the crankcase, find out the proper
way to dispose of the oil. Do not pour oil onto the ground, down a drain, or into a stream, pond, or
lake. Consult local ordinances that govern the disposal of wastes.

Before doing any electrical welding on vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes (ABS), disconnect
the battery negative terminal (ground strap) and the ABS control module connector.
Do not expose any part of the A/C system to high temperatures such as open flame. Excessive
heat will increase system pressure and may cause the system to burst.

Cautions & Warnings

=
When boost-charging the battery, first remove the fuses for the Engine Control Module (ECM), the
Transmission Control Module (TCM), the ABS control module, and the trip computer. In cases
where one or more of these components is not separately fused, disconnect the control module
connector(s).
Some of the vehicles covered by this manual are equipped with a supplemental restraint system
(SRS), that automatically deploys an airbag in the event of a frontal impact. The airbag is operated
by an explosive device. Handled improperly or without adequate safeguards, it can be accidentally
activated and cause serious personal injury. To guard against personal injury or airbag system
failure, only trained Audi Service technicians should test, disassemble or service the airbag
system.
Do not quick-charge the battery (for boost starting) for longer than one minute, and do not exceed
16.5 volts at the battery with the boosting cables attached. Wait at least one minute before
boosting the battery a second time.
Never use a test light to conduct electrical tests of the airbag system. The system must only be
tested by trained Audi Service technicians using the VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST) or an approved
equivalent. The airbag unit must never be electrically tested while it is not installed in the vehicle.
Some aerosol tire inflators are highly flammable. Be extremely cautious when repairing a tire that
may have been inflated using an aerosol tire inflator. Keep sparks, open flame or other sources of
ignition away from the tire repair area. Inflate and deflate the tire at least four times before
breaking the bead from the rim. Completely remove the tire from the rim before attempting any
repair.
When driving or riding in an airbag-equipped vehicle, never hold test equipment in your hands or
lap while the vehicle is in motion. Objects between you and the airbag can increase the risk of
injury in an accident.
I have read and I understand these Cautions and Warnings.
