📋 Procedure
- Switch off ignition and take out ignition key.
- ⚠ Vehicles with TDI engine (SCR)After the ignition is switched off, the reducing agent is automatically drawn back into the active tank for reducing agent from the metering line going to the injector for reducing agent N474.Before working in this area, you must therefore wait until the reducing agent has been completely drawn out of the metering line; this can take up to 10 minutes after the ignition has been switched off.For the same reason, it is important to wait until the reducing agent has been drawn back (i.e. 10 minutes) before disconnecting the battery. — Lift luggage compartment floor panel and hook onto body.

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.
