WARNING
Working on vehicles with high-voltage wiring:
Do not support yourself or tools on high-voltage wiring or associated components --> this can damage the insulation.
High-voltage wiring must not be excessively bent or kinked --> this can damage the insulation.
The round high-voltage connectors are colour-coded with an external coloured ring and are provided with mechanical coding or guide lugs. It is important to observe this coding when joining up the round high-voltage connectors, otherwise the connectors can be damaged.

Removing
De-energise high-voltage system.
The high-voltage system must be de-energised according to the
“Guided Fault Finding”
routine in the
Vehicle diagnostic tester
, and ONLY by this method.
DANGER!
High voltage can cause fatal injury
Danger of severe or fatal injuries from electric shock
The high-voltage system may only be de-energised by a suitably qualified person (Audi high-voltage technician).
It must be definitely confirmed that the high-voltage system is de-energised. The system may only be de-energised using the
vehicle diagnostic tester
via
“Guided Fault Finding”
.
The qualified person (Audi high-voltage technician) confirms that the system is de-energised and uses the
locking cap
T40262
to ensure that the system cannot be re-energised. The ignition key and the
maintenance connector for high-voltage system
TW
are then stored in a safe place by the qualified person.
The qualified person (Audi high-voltage technician) marks the vehicle by attaching the appropriate warning signs.

WARNING
Pay very careful attention to the coding of the high-voltage wires. Mistakes lead to short circuits and irreparable damage to high-voltage components.
WARNING
Working on vehicles with high-voltage wiring:
Do not support yourself or tools on high-voltage wiring or associated components --> this can damage the insulation.
High-voltage wiring must not be excessively bent or kinked --> this can damage the insulation.
The round high-voltage connectors are colour-coded with an external coloured ring and are provided with mechanical coding or guide lugs. It is important to observe this coding when joining up the round high-voltage connectors, otherwise the connectors can be damaged.
Note
The contact surfaces of the potential equalisation line must be checked prior to installation.
The contact surfaces must be clean and free from rust and grease.

Note
High-voltage wires can only be connected and secured in specified sequence.
Connect and lock high-voltage wire connectors in reverse sequence to removal.
Check that the red warning label is present and take care not to damage it.
Re-energise high-voltage system.
The high-voltage system must be re-energised according to the
“Guided Fault Finding”
routine in the
Vehicle diagnostic tester
, and ONLY by this method.

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.
