WARNING
Hot steam/hot coolant can escape - risk of scalding.
♦ The cooling system is under pressure when the engine is
hot.
♦ To allow pressure to dissipate, cover filler cap on coolant
expansion tank with cloth and open carefully.
3.4Working on vehicles with start/stop sys‐
tem
When performing repairs on vehicles with start/stop system, note
the following:
WARNING
Risk of injury due to automatic engine start on vehicles with
start/stop system.
♦ On vehicles with activated start/stop system (this is indi‐
cated by a message in the instrument cluster display), the
engine may start automatically on demand.
♦ Therefore it is important to ensure that the start/stop sys‐
tem is deactivated when performing repairs (switch off

3.5Using testers and measuring instru‐
ments during a road test
Note the following if testers and measuring instruments have to
be used during a road test:
WARNING
Accidents can be caused if the driver is distracted by test
equipment while road-testing, or if test equipment is not prop‐
erly secured.
Persons sitting in the front passenger's seat could be injured if
the airbag is triggered in an accident.
•The use of test equipment while driving causes distraction.
•There is an increased risk of injury if test equipment is not
secured.
♦ Move the passenger's seat back as far as it will go.
♦ Use only vehicle diagnosis and service information sys‐
tem -VAS 5052 A- or diagnosis system -VAS 5053- .
♦ The test equipment -1- must rest flat on the passenger's
thighs (as shown in illustration) and must be operated by

4.1Rules for cleanliness when working on
fuel supply system, injection system and
turbocharger
Even small amounts of dirt can cause malfunctions. For this rea‐
son, please observe the following rules when working on the fuel
supply system, injection system and turbocharger:
♦ Carefully clean connection points and the surrounding area
with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly before
opening.
♦ Seal off open pipes/lines and connections immediately with
clean plugs, e.g. from engine bung set -VAS 6122- .
♦ Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and
cover them over. Use only lint-free cloths.
♦ Carefully cover or seal open components if repairs cannot be
carried out immediately.
♦ Only install clean components; replacement parts should only
be unpacked immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts
that have not been stored in their packing (e.g. in tool boxes
etc.).
♦ When the system is open, do not work with compressed air
and do not move the vehicle.
♦ Protect unplugged electrical connectors against dirt and mois‐
ture and make sure connections are dry when attaching.
4.2Checking fuel system for leaks
– Allow engine to run for several minutes at moderate rpm.
– Switch off ignition.
– Check complete fuel system for leaks.
– If leaks are found although the connections have been tight‐
ened to the correct torque, the relevant component must be
renewed.
– Road-test vehicle and accelerate with full throttle at least once.
– Then inspect high-pressure section of fuel system again for
leaks.
4.3Foreign particles in engine
♦ When performing assembly work on the engine, all open pas‐
sages in the intake and exhaust systems must be sealed with

suitable plugs (e.g. from engine bung set -VAS 6122- ) to pre‐
vent foreign particles from entering the engine.
4.4Contact corrosion!
Contact corrosion can occur if unsuitable fasteners are used (e.g.
bolts, nuts, washers, etc.).
For this reason, only fasteners with a special surface coating are
used.
Additionally, all rubber and plastic parts and all adhesives are
made of non-conductive materials.
Always install new parts if you are not sure whether used parts
can be re-fitted ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue .
Note the following:
♦ We recommend using only genuine replacement parts; these
have been tested and are compatible with aluminium.
♦ We recommend the use of Audi accessories.
♦ Damage caused by contact corrosion is not covered under
warranty.
Audi TT 2007 ➤
4.5Routing and attachment of pipes, hoses
and wiring
♦ Mark fuel lines, hydraulic lines, vacuum lines, lines for activa‐
ted charcoal filter system and electrical wiring etc. before
removal so they can be re-installed in the original positions
and correctly connected. Make sketches or take photographs
if necessary.
♦ To prevent damaging pipes, hoses and wiring, ensure suffi‐
cient clearance from all moving or hot components in engine
compartment (little space in engine compartment).
4.6Checking vacuum system
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Hand vacuum pump -VAS 6213-
Procedure
– Check all vacuum lines in the complete vacuum system for:
♦ Cracks
♦ Traces of animal bites
♦ Kinked or crushed lines
♦ Lines porous or leaking
– Check vacuum line to solenoid valve and from solenoid valve
to corresponding component.

5-cylinder direct petrol injection engine (2.5 ltr. 4-valve turbo), mechanics - Edition 12.2010
– If a fault is stored in the memory, check the vacuum lines lead‐
ing to the corresponding component and also check the re‐
maining vacuum lines in the system.
– If it is not possible to build up a vacuum with the hand vacuum
pump -VAS 6213- or if the vacuum pressure drops again im‐
mediately, check the hand vacuum pump and connecting
hoses for leaks.
4.7Installing radiators, condensers and
charge air coolers
Even when the radiator, condenser and charge air cooler are cor‐
rectly installed, slight impressions may be visible on the fins of
these components. This does not mean that the components are
damaged. If the fins are only very slightly distorted, this does not
justify renewal of the radiator, condenser or charge air cooler.
