Get 000 ? Air Jack and Fire Extinguisher Guide for Audi R8 2 Door Second Generation (2016-2024)

000 – Air Jack and Fire Extinguisher

000 - 1 Air Jack System

-

When driving, the bleed valve must be open (pulled out) in order to

ensure the air jack piston is fully retracted.

Working under the car supported only by the air jacks without the chocks

(safeties) is forbidden.

To prevent damage to the end stops on the piston rods, the air jack should

never be pressurised without lifting the car or alternatively the pressure

must be increased very slowly and in a controlled manner.

Recommended operating pressure: 40 bar

-

Never use cleaning products containing mineral oil.

Do not dismantle the air jack – the system is pressurised even when

retracted!

-

The tightening torque for the grooved nut (to secure the air jack) must

always be checked during a normal car check (spanner check).

Tightening procedure grooved nut: see PDM 4SA 011 001

If a loose or incorrectly mounted air jack is identified it must be replaced

immediately.

lifted on the flat bottom.

In this case, it is necessary to lift the car on the points intended for this purpose

(see red marks).
