New special tools
The following new special tools are used for aas in
the Audi A6 Avant ‘05:
T 40082/1-6 spring blocker for air springs
Due to the modified installation dimensions, the
spring blockers used for the A8 are unsuitable for
the A6. The advantage of using spring blockers on
the A6 front axle is that subsequent replacement of
the upper transverse rods is no longer needed.
Running gear
T 40081 ramp
When the system is fully vented , the suspension
will be so low that, in case of unfavourable
dimensional tolerances, a car jack cannot be used.
In such case, the vehicle is driven up onto the 8 cm
high ramps. A car jack or an auto-hoist can then be
used.
A new test adapter with the type designation
VAS 1598/53
is used for the air spring control unit.
