Safety Precautions

Note the following when working on the fuel system

CAUTIONThere is a risk of injury because the fuel is under very high pressure. Before opening high pressure area of the fuel injection system, fuel pressure must be relieved to residual pressure. To reduce remaining residual pressure, lay a clean cloth around the connector and carefully loosen connector.
  1. Procedures before opening high pressure fuel injection system --> «Before Opening High Pressure Fuel Injection System»(/audi/s8/d3-2007-2011/remont/cooling-fan/#52l-10-cyl-4v-engine-mechanical-engine-codes-bsm__before-opening-high-pressure-fuel-injection) .

To prevent personal injury and damage to the injection and ignition system, observe the following

  1. The ignition must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting the injection and ignition system wiring or tester cables.
  2. Only clean engine with ignition switched off.
  3. If electrical connectors were disconnected, faults are saved in ECM
  1. Connect Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System VAS 5051B.
  2. Start "Guided Functions" operating mode.
  3. Generate readiness code in ECM.
CAUTIONRisk of destroying electrical components when battery is disconnected. Observe measures when disconnecting battery. Only disconnect battery with ignition switched off.
  1. Disconnect battery --> «27 - BATTERY, STARTER, GENERATOR, CRUISE CONTROL»(/audi/s8/d3-2007-2011/remont/cruise-control-systems/#electrical-equipment) .

Note the following when working on the cooling system

CAUTIONRisk of scalding due to hot steam and hot coolant. When the engine is warm the cooling system is under pressure. To reduce pressure, cover coolant reservoir cap with cloth and carefully open.

If it is necessary to use testing and measuring devices on road tests, observe the following

CAUTIONDistraction and improperly secured test equipment can lead to accidents. Risk of passenger airbag deploying in an accident. Operating testing and measuring equipment while driving creates a distraction. There is an increased risk of injury due to unsecured testing and measuring equipment. Always secure testers on the rear seat with a strap and have a second person on the rear seat operate them.

Before Opening High Pressure Fuel Injection System

  1. The fuel injection system is separated into a high-pressure section (max. approximately 120 bar) and a low-pressure section (approximately 6 bar).
  2. Before opening high pressure area, fuel pressure must be reduced to a residual pressure of approximately 6 bar. The procedure for this is as follows.

General Information

Clean Working Conditions

Even a little contamination can lead to faults. Pay careful attention to the following rules for clean working conditions when working on the fuel supply and injection system

  1. Before loosening, connections and surrounding areas must be cleaned thoroughly with engine or brake cleaner, and then cleaned area must be dried completely.
  2. Plug open lines and connections immediately with appropriate protective caps.
  3. Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover them. Use lint-free cloths.
  4. Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored unpacked (e.g. in tool boxes etc.).
  1. When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
  2. Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and moisture and only connect if dry.

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.

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.

Lines, Routing and Securing

To prevent mistakes and ensure the original installation location is kept, mark the hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical lines before removing them. If necessary, draw sketches or take pictures.

After installing the camshafts, the engine may not be started for approximately 30 minutes. The hydraulic adjusting elements must seat themselves (otherwise the valves will seat themselves on the pistons). After working on the valvetrain, carefully rotate engine by hand at least 2 full revolutions to ensure that valves do not strike the pistons when starting.

CAUTIONWorn sodium-filled exhaust valves must not be scrapped without first being properly treated. Using a metal saw, the valves must be cut into two pieces between the shaft center and valve head. While doing this, do not come into contact with water. At the very most, throw 10 of the prepared valves into a bucket filled with water. Then, move quickly away, because a sudden chemical reaction will occur during which the sodium is burnt away. The treated parts may then be discarded through conventional disposal channels.

Draining

Note. Drained coolant must be stored in a clean container for disposal or reuse.

  1. Remove cover above coolant reservoir - arrows -.
CAUTIONCover cap of coolant expansion tank with rag and open carefully, as hot steam or hot coolant may escape when opening.
  1. Open cap of coolant expansion tank.
  1. For vehicles with auxiliary heater, remove bolts - arrows - for exhaust pipe of parking heater/auxiliary heater on noise insulation.
  1. Loosen quick-release fasteners - 1 - and remove front noise insulation.

Note. Ignore - 1 -.

Filling

  1. Ignition switched off.
CAUTIONRefilling the cooling system must be performed exclusively using the cooling system charge unit VAS 6096. Otherwise, automatic transmission malfunctions could occur.

Note. The cooling system is filled all year round with a mixture of frost and corrosion protection additives and water. Use only coolant additive Plus G 012 A8F A1 (short: G12+) "according to TL VW 774 F". Other coolant additives may above all reduce the corrosion protection effect significantly. The damage resulting from this may lead to loss of coolant and consequently to severe engine damage. G12+ and coolant additives with the designation "according to TL VW 774 F" reduce frost and corrosion damage as well as lime deposits. They also raise the boiling point. For this reason the system must be filled all year round with frost and corrosion protection additives. Because of its high boiling point, the coolant improves engine reliability under heavy loads, particularly in countries with tropical climates. Freeze protection must be guaranteed down to -25 C (in extremely cold countries to about -35 C). The coolant concentration must not be reduced by adding water even in warmer seasons and in warmer countries. The coolant additive portion must be at least 40%. If for climatic reasons greater frost protection is required, the amount of G12+ can be increased, but only up to 60% (frost protection to about -40 C), otherwise frost protection and cooling effectiveness will be reduced. Only clean drinking water may be used for mixing coolant. If the radiator, heater core, cylinder head and cylinder head gasket or cylinder block is replaced, completely replace the engine coolant. Dirty coolant must not be re-used. For coolant G12+ , use refractometer T10007 to test frost protection in cooling system.

  1. Reinstall drain plug - arrow - with new O-ring at coolant thermostat housing.
  1. Reinstall drain plug - arrow - with new gasket at front coolant pipe.
  1. Install lower coolant hose - 2 - on right auxiliary cooler - arrow -.

Secondary Air Injection, Servicing

Due to the rich mixture during the cold start phase, the exhaust emissions contain an increased level of unburned hydrocarbons. The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system improves the secondary oxidation within the catalytic converter, thereby reducing harmful emissions. The heat released by secondary oxidation shortens the start-up time of the catalytic converter considerably, as well as significantly improves emissions quality during the cold-running phase.

  1. In the cold start phase, the engine control module controls the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) pump via the pump relay. Air reach secondary air injection combi-valves.
  2. The secondary air injection solenoid valve is activated in parallel which allows the vacuum to reach the secondary air injection combi-valves. The appropriate combination valve for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) thereby opens the path for secondary air to the exhaust channels of the cylinder head.
