Exploded view - ATF system — AUDI
Exploded view - ATF system on Audi: 6 steps, 3 torque figures. What to remove, what to tighten and to how many Nm, what to check after.
Workshop procedure for AUDI — the exact step sequence and torque figures, straight from real workshop data.
🧭 Before you start
Fits: Audi A6/A7 C7 (4G, 2011–2018)
Don't miss
- In gearboxes with hydraulic pulse accumulator, bolt (17) is not fitted until the pulse accumulator is installed .
- Bolts (18, 19 and 20) secure the hydraulic pulse accumulator.
🔩 Torque settings
Values can differ between engine variants — check the code stamped on your block.
| Torque | Fastener / step |
|---|---|
| 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft) | Tighten bolts |
| 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft) | Tighten bolts for mechatronic unit |
| 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft) | Tighten remaining bolts |
ℹ️ Always cross-check the exact figure against your vehicle's factory manual before final tightening — a wrong torque can damage the engine. These values are extracted from workshop data and may not cover every variant or revision.
📋 Procedure
- ⚠ Risk of damage to gearboxThe engine must not be started when there is no ATF in the gearbox or if the ATF oil pan has been removed. — Tighten bolts in 3 stages in the sequence shown:
- Tighten bolts to 10 Nm in sequence (1 ... 19). [Note: In gearboxes with hydraulic pulse accumulator, bolt (17) is not fitted until the pulse accumulator is installed .] — 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft)
- Tighten bolts for mechatronic unit to 10 Nm in the sequence (1 ... 17). — 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft)
- Install hydraulic pulse accumulator (A).
- Tighten remaining bolts to 10 Nm in the sequence (18 ... 21). [Note: Bolts (18, 19 and 20) secure the hydraulic pulse accumulator.] — 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft)
- Tighten bolts to 10 Nm in sequence (1 ... 3). — 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft)

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
