WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Audi e-tron GT and 2022 Audi RS e-tron GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special tools and workshop equipment required

Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser: VAS6350/2A
Calibration Tool - R8 Wheel Adapters: VAS6350/5
Calibration Tool: VAS6350A
Calibration Tool - Linear Laser: VAS6350/3A
Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting: VAS6350/1A

Calibration of the rearview camera system is necessary:

The installation position of the Rearview Camera -R189- in the vehicle has changed.

Conditions

The calibration requirements must be met.

Refer to CALIBRATION CONDITIONS

Procedure

-- Check which hole circle the rims have.

-- Place the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting: VAS6350/1A onto the wheel bolts on both rear wheels.

Conditions

The wheel center mounting rotation center must be in the wheel rotation center.

-- Place the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting: VAS6350/1A on the wheels so that any anti-theft wheel bolts are not connected to the wheel center mounting.

-- Adjust the measuring paddle using the locking nuts so that they move freely just above the floor.

Conditions

The measuring paddles must move easily.
The measuring paddles must be in vertical position.

-- Position the Calibration Tool: VAS6350A at distance -a- to the rear wheels.
