Renewing connection on gearshift actuator for R tronic — AUDI

🧭 Before you start

Fits: platform code 42

• Renewed: connection

Don't miss

• This will prevent damage to the surfaces during removal.
• Make sure release tool T40161 is applied below the collar of the connection, so that the connection is lifted when the tool is compressed.
• The internal aperture must be sealed off temporarily to prevent metal particles and dirt from entering the gearshift actuator for R tronic.
• The lugs on retaining clip (2) must point upwards so the connection engages securely in the gearshift actuator for R tronic as the clip expands after installation.

📋 Procedure

1. ⚠ The gearshift actuator for R tronic can be damaged if the connection on the actuator is removed incorrectly.Only renew connection if damaged.The seat for the connection in the gearshift actuator for R tronic can be damaged.Remove all metal particles thoroughly. — Mask off surfaces of gearshift actuator for R tronic around connection with adhesive tape. [Note: This will prevent damage to the surfaces during removal.]
2. Apply release tool T40161 below collar of connection (A).
3. Compress release tool T40161 as indicated by (arrows) using mole grips or similar. [Note: Make sure release tool T40161 is applied below the collar of the connection, so that the connection is lifted when the tool is compressed.]
4. Continue to compress release tool T40161.
5. Remove connection by levering backwards and forwards as shown (arrows).

6. Remove any dirt from aperture in gearshift actuator for R tronic with a vacuum cleaner and clean thoroughly to prevent metal particles from entering the hydraulic system. [Note: The internal aperture must be sealed off temporarily to prevent metal particles and dirt from entering the gearshift actuator for R tronic.]
7. Clean out aperture using a vacuum cleaner.
8. Close off internal aperture in gearshift actuator for R tronic (with sealing plug, etc.) to prevent dirt from entering.
9. Carefully deburr upper aperture on gearshift actuator for R tronic.
10. Remove particles with a vacuum cleaner, clean aperture and remove sealing plug.
11. Lightly lubricate O-ring (1) on connection with hydraulic fluid. [Note: The lugs on retaining clip (2) must point upwards so the connection engages securely in the gearshift actuator for R tronic as the clip expands after installation.]
