Warnings and Cautions


WARNINGS
Some repairs may be beyond your capability. If you lack the
skills, tools and equipment, or a suitable workplace for any
procedure described in this manual, we suggest you leave such
repairs to an authorized dealer service department or other
qualified shop.

Do not reuse any fasteners that have become worn or deformed


during normal use. Many fasteners are designed to be used only
once and become unreliable and may fail when used a second
time. This includes, but is not limited to, nuts, bolts, washers,
self-locking nuts or bolts, circlips and cotter pins. Always replace
these fasteners with new parts.

Never work under a lifted car unless it is solidly supported on


stands designed for the purpose. Do not support a car on cinder
blocks, hollow tiles or other props that may crumble under
continuous load. Never work under a car that is supported solely
by a jack. Never work under the car while the engine is running.

4 Audi A3 Quick Reference Specification Book October 2010


If you are going to work under a car on the ground, make sure
the ground is level. Block the wheels to keep the car from rolling.
Disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal (ground strap) to

Information
prevent others from starting the car while you are under it.

General
Never run the engine unless the work area is well ventilated.
Carbon monoxide kills.

Remove rings, bracelets and other jewelry so they cannot cause


electrical shorts, get caught in running machinery, or be crushed
by heavy parts.

Tie back long hair. Do not wear a necktie, a scarf, loose clothing,
or a necklace when you work near machine tools or running
engines. If your hair, clothing, or jewelry were to get caught in the
machinery, severe injury could result.

Do not attempt to work on your car if you do not feel well. You
increase the danger of injury to yourself and others if you are
tired, upset, or have taken medication or any other substance
that may keep you from being fully alert.

Illuminate your work area adequately but safely. Use a portable


safety light for working inside or under the car. Make sure
the bulb is enclosed by a wire cage. The hot filament of an
accidentally broken bulb can ignite spilled fuel, vapors or oil.

Use a suitable container to catch draining fuel, oil, or brake


fluid. Do not use food or beverage containers that might mislead
someone into drinking from them. Store flammable fluids away
from fire hazards. Wipe up spills at once, but do not store oily
rags which can ignite and burn spontaneously.

Always observe good workshop practices. Wear goggles when


you operate machine tools or work with battery acid. Wear
gloves or other protective clothing whenever the job requires
working with harmful substances.

Greases, lubricants and other automotive chemicals contain


toxic substances, many of which are absorbed directly through
the skin. Read the manufacturer's instructions and warnings
carefully. Use hand and eye protection. Avoid direct skin contact

Disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal (ground strap)


whenever you work on the fuel or electrical system. Do not
smoke or work near heaters or other fire hazards. Keep an
approved fire extinguisher handy.

Audi A3 Quick Reference Specification Book October 2010 5


Friction materials (such as brake pads or shoes or clutch discs)
contain asbestos fibers or other friction materials. Do not create
dust by grinding, sanding, or cleaning with compressed air. Avoid
breathing dust. Breathing any friction material dust can lead to
serious diseases and may result in death.

Batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas during charging. Keep


sparks, lighted matches and open flame away from the top of the
battery. If hydrogen gas escaping from the cap vents is ignited, it
ignites the gas trapped in the cells and causes the battery
to explode.

Connect and disconnect battery cables, jumper cables or a


battery charger only with the ignition off. Do not disconnect the
battery while the engine is running.

Do not quick-charge the battery (for boost starting) for longer


than one minute. Wait at least one minute before boosting the
battery a second time.

Do not allow battery charging voltage to exceed 16.5 volts. If


the battery begins producing gas or boiling violently, reduce the
charging rate. Boosting a sulfated battery at a high charging rate
can cause an explosion.

The A/C system is filled with chemical refrigerant, which is


hazardous. The A/C system should be serviced only by trained
technicians using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling
equipment, trained in related safety precautions, and familiar
with regulations governing the discharging and disposal of
automotive chemical refrigerants.

Do not expose any part of the A/C system to high temperatures


such as open flame. Excessive heat increases system pressure
and may cause the system to burst.

Some aerosol tire inflators are highly flammable. Be extremely


cautious when repairing a tire that may have been inflated using
an aerosol tire inflator. Keep sparks, open flame or other sources
of ignition away from the tire repair area. Inflate and deflate the
tire at least four times before breaking the bead from the rim.
Completely remove the tire from the rim before attempting
any repair.

6 Audi A3 Quick Reference Specification Book October 2010


Some cars are equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) that automatically deploys airbags and pyrotechnic seat
belt tensioners in the event of a frontal or side impact. These

Information
are explosive devices. Handled improperly or without adequate

General
safeguards, they can be accidentally activated and cause
serious injury.

The ignition system produces high voltages that can be fatal.


Avoid contact with exposed terminals and use extreme care
when working on a car with the engine running or the ignition on.

Place jack stands only at locations specified by manufacturer.


The vehicle lifting jack supplied with the vehicle is intended for
tire changes only. Use a heavy duty floor jack to lift the vehicle
before installing jack stands.

Battery acid (electrolyte) can cause severe burns. Flush contact


area with water, seek medical attention.

Aerosol cleaners and solvents may contain hazardous or deadly


vapors and are highly flammable. Use only in a well ventilated
area. Do not use on hot surfaces (such as engines or brakes).

Do not remove coolant reservoir or radiator cap with the engine


hot. Burns and engine damage may occur.

CAUTIONS
If you lack the skills, tools and equipment, or a suitable workshop
for any procedure described in this manual, we suggest you
leave such repairs to an authorized dealer or other
qualified shop.

Before starting a job, make certain that you have all the
necessary tools and parts on hand. Read all the instructions
thoroughly and do not attempt shortcuts. Use tools appropriate
to the work and use only replacement parts meeting original
specifications. Makeshift tools, parts and procedures will not
make good repairs.

Use pneumatic and electric tools only to loosen threaded parts


and fasteners. Never use these tools to tighten fasteners,
especially on light alloy parts. Always use a torque wrench to
tighten fasteners to the tightening torque specification listed.

Audi A3 Quick Reference Specification Book October 2010 7


Be mindful of the environment and ecology. Before you drain the
crankcase, find out the proper way to dispose of the oil. Do not
pour oil onto the ground, down a drain, or into a stream, pond or
lake. Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and
Local laws.

The control module for the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) cannot
withstand temperatures from a paint-drying booth or a heat
lamp in excess of 95C (203F) and should not be subjected to
temperatures exceeding 85C (185F) for more than two hours.

Before doing any electrical welding on cars equipped with ABS,


disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal (ground strap) and
the ABS control module connector.

Always make sure the ignition is off before disconnecting the


battery.

Label battery cables before disconnecting. On some models,


battery cables are not color coded.

Disconnecting the battery may erase fault code(s) stored


in control module memory. Check for fault codes prior to
disconnecting the battery cables.

If a normal or rapid charger is used to charge the battery,


disconnect the battery and remove it from the vehicle to avoid
damaging paint and upholstery.

Do not quick-charge the battery (for boost starting) for longer


than one minute. Wait at least one minute before boosting the
battery a second time.

Connect and disconnect a battery charger only with the battery


charger switched off.

Sealed or "maintenance free" batteries should be slow-charged


only, at an amperage rate that is approximately 10% of the
battery's ampere-hour (Ah) rating.

Do not allow battery charging voltage to exceed 16.5 volts. If


the battery begins producing gas or boiling violently, reduce the
charging rate. Boosting a sulfated battery at a high charging rate
can cause an explosion.
