Suspension alignment
The suspension alignment procedure and setting values are the same as for the A3 3-door version.
Steering system
The electromechanical steering system (EPS) used on the A3 3-door is also used in the A3 Sportback. As
before, the steering has been adapted to the various front axle loads by two different characteristic curves in
the power steering control unit J500. A modified version of the warning lamp activation circuit will be come
into use in the A3 3-door in May 04. A yellow or red LED is activated depending on fault severity (See chapter
Electrical system/Dash panel insert). This modified display will also be introduced into the A3 Sportback.
The steering column will be carried over from the A3 3-door.
