🧭 Before you start
Fits: Audi A8 D3 (4E, 2002–2010)
- Special tools named: VAS 6101
🔧 Engine codes this applies to
🔩 Torque settings
Values can differ between engine variants — check the code stamped on your block.
| Torque | Fastener / step |
|---|---|
| 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) | Secure bracket2024 A/2 to engine (right-side) using bolt M8x20 (arrow): tightening torque |
| 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) | Fit engine support as shown and tighten |
| 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) | Fit lifting eye2024A/2 to cylinder block and tighten |
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.

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.
