Assignment of ground clearances (setting dimensions) for adaptive suspension — AUDI

🧭 Before you start

Fits: Audi A6 C5 (4B)

Don't miss

• The vehicle must be standing on a flat surface.

📋 Procedure

1. Raise the vehicle (rear suspension fully extended).
2. Insert the spacer gauge T40002 in the specified jacking points (arrows) at the rear.
3. Turn the two knurled screws so that the rubber bead at the specified jacking point is compressed and the spacer gauge is held in position.
4. Lower vehicle. [Note: The vehicle must be standing on a flat surface.]
5. Move the vehicle approx. 1 m forwards and backwards and bounce at the rear. This eliminates the torsion of the rear tyres.

6. Refer to the table to check the clearance dimension (specified jacking points/workshop floor) and repeat basic setting if necessary in the event of deviation. Allowance is to be made for the deviation determined at the spacer gauge T40002. If the vehicle is too low, this amount is to be added to the setting dimension (see table).
