Workshop procedure for AUDI — the exact step sequence and torque figures, straight from real workshop data.
🧭 Before you start
Fits: platform code 42
- Renewed: o-ring
Don't miss
- Risk of injury.The hydraulic system must be depressurised when performing the following work. — Observe the rules for cleanliness .
- Every hydraulic line is marked with a number which must be positioned opposite the number (arrow) on the valve block.
- Risk of damage and leaks at valve block.Pushing in the hydraulic line with force will damage the O-ring. — Insert connection piece for hydraulic line (2) vertically in valve block (there should be no noticeable resistance).
📋 Procedure
- ⚠ Risk of injury.The hydraulic system must be depressurised when performing the following work. — Observe the rules for cleanliness .
- Remove reservoir with convertible roof actuation hydraulic pump V118.
- Using a small screwdriver, slide locking spring (1) in direction of (arrow) at connection piece for hydraulic line (2) and detach.
- Pull connection piece for hydraulic line out of valve block.
- ⚠ Risk of damage and leaks at valve block.Make sure that the hole for the hydraulic line connection piece is not damaged.Damage to the hole could cause leaks. — If O-ring (1) is still positioned in valve block, pull it out carefully using a small blunt hook (2). [Note: Renew O-ring.]
- Fit new O-ring (2) onto connection piece (1) for hydraulic line. [Note: Every hydraulic line is marked with a number which must be positioned opposite the number (arrow) on the valve block.]
- ⚠ Risk of damage and leaks at valve block.Pushing in the hydraulic line with force will damage the O-ring. — Insert connection piece for hydraulic line (2) vertically in valve block (there should be no noticeable resistance).
- Secure hydraulic line; to do so, use a small screwdriver to slide locking spring (1) as far as possible onto hydraulic line.
- Check hydraulic fluid level and top up if necessary .
- Install reservoir with convertible roof actuation hydraulic pump V118.

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.
