How to remove and install the flywheel/driveplate on Audi A4?

The procedure for removal and installation of the flywheel/driveplate on V6 engines is similar to that of the four-cylinder engine. For engines with the dual-mass flywheel, rotate the engine to TDC and install the TDC timing stop in the front of the block. Use a flywheel-holding tool on the ring gear to secure the flywheel. Turn the rearmost section of the dual-mass flywheel by hand until the flywheel mounting bolts are centered in their openings, and remove the bolts using only hand tools, avoiding impact tools to prevent damage. The dual-mass flywheel features a needle-bearing insert that can be removed with a puller and installed with a driver. In models with Multitronic transmission, the flywheel is equipped with a damper similar to a clutch plate on a manual transmission application, which must be removed to access the flywheel bolts.

What precautions should be taken when removing and installing a flywheel/driveplate on Audi A4?

The manufacturer advises the use of new flywheel/driveplate bolts whenever removed. In order to start the process of eliminating a standard flywheel/driveplate, the vehicle is raised and placed safely on jackstands, followed by the transaxle removal. In case of leakages, the front pump seal O-ring of the automatic transaxle or the input shaft seal of the manual transaxle should be replaced. In cars with manual transaxles, disassemble the pressure plate and disc clutch in order to have a chance to inspect or replace the parts of the clutch. Mark the location of the flywheel/ drive plate and crankshaft, so as to use them as an alignment mark when re-assembling. Tear the bolts attaching the flywheel/ driveplate to the crankshaft, jam the flywheel with a screwdriver in case the crankshaft starts to move. The flywheel/driveplate should be carefully pulled off, holding it in place as the final bolt is removed and any spacers used in the automatic transaxle bodies must be retained with the driveplate. With dual-mass flywheels, rotate engine to TDC and fit timing stop, fix flywheel with flywheel-holding tool. Take off the clutch and indicate the association of block with flywheel. Install the flywheel mounting bolts on the flywheel mounting holes and loosen them with a hand tool, but do not touch the openings when loosening or they are likely to be damaged. A flywheel that is dual-mass contains a needle-bearing insert which can be pulled off using a puller and attached using a driver. In models with Multitronic transmission, the damper should be removed in order to access the flywheel bolts. Installation To install, clean the flywheel with brake system cleaner and examine it, looking for damage, and checking it against a straight-edge to see whether it is warped. Wipe and wipe the mating parts of the flywheel/driveplate and crankshaft, and change the crankshaft rear seal in case it is leaky. Place the flywheel/driveplate and spacer on the crankshaft, so that the marks made on removal may be in alignment, and thread locking compound applied to the threads of the bolts before installation. Working up to the full torque in three or four steps, screwdriver Use a screwdriver to hold the flywheel/driveplate stationary as the bolts are tightened in a criss-cross pattern. In the case of cars that have an automatic transaxle, an installed height of the driveplate should be measured at three equal points and shimmed where needed to reach the required height. The rest of the installation goes in the opposite sequence of uninstallation.

Audi A4 Flywheel

The Audi A4 Flywheel is in the middle of this mechanism that gives every engine firing smooth and reliable power. This large, hefty disc of steel is bolted to the crankshaft to store rotational energy in such a manner so that the occasional combustion strokes appear to be one continuous rush, and the outer ring gear of the disc engages with the starter motor to rotate the crank when the engine ignites. The clutch disc is also clamped by a machined face that allows drivers to disconnect or reconnect the drivetrain during a shift. There have been two primary designs applied over the years by Audi. The traditional solid Flywheel is a single mass that can typically be resurfaced in case any heat spots or grooves form, which will redefine a true and flat contact surface. The more recent dual mass Flywheel, consisting of primary and secondary plates with a spring-filled damper between, suppresses more noise and aids in quieting the cabin, which may be of particular importance in the Audi cabin of the time. But the internal damper can wear out and is not advisable to machine and is actually not promoted by the manufacturers, thus they suggest replacement as the common remedy. Every Flywheel will wear due to the heat of constant contact with clutches, distorted faces, or broken ring gear teeth that will require attention on any Audi sedan. The selection of a direct Audi specification maintains a balanced engine and transmission to move as desired by an A4 owner in day-to-day drive.

Choose original equipment manufacturer Flywheel for great performance and strong durability. They use Audi's official craftsmanship and high-grade materials, and meet strict quality standards.
