Injector  
For the first time, an ICU injector (

nverse   
C  
av-
ity

ndercut) is used, which has a dual needle 
guide.
The advantage of this ICU geometry is a sig-
nificantly improved spray formation, espe-
cially in the part throttle range for small 
injection quantities and short needle lift.

Due to the improved spray formation through 
the use of the ICU injector, it was possible to 
reduce the exhaust emissions and the particle 
values by up to 20 %.

The charge air cooler design comprises two 
sections, in which part of the charge air is fed 
via a through duct, connected to a space-sav-
ing pipe, to the section of the other charge air 
cooler which is fitted with cooling fins.
The rest of the charge air is fed directly 
through the cooling fins, via a separate pipe, 
to the second charge air cooler and into the 
through duct.  
Charge air cooler 
Engine and gearbox 
The existing series connection of the two 
charge air coolers for the 110 kW engine is 
inadequate for the 132 kW engine with its 
high air throughput.
A new charge air cooler design was devel-
oped, in order to ensure optimal charge air 
flow.

Innovations - automatic 
gearbox 
5-speed 01V automatic gearbox 
The Audi A4 quattro MJ01 with 5-speed auto-
matic gearbox features a new shift lever gate, 
together with a new shifting concept.
The existing selector lever positions, 4,3,2 are 
discontinued and are replaced by the "S" 
position.
Gearshift positions 4,3,2 have been discontin-
ued as they are hardly ever used in practice.
The DSP (dynamic shift programme) and "tip-
tronic" function have basically rendered them 
superfluous.
With the selector lever is in the "S" position, a 
sports shift programme provides the relevant 
driving dynamics. In position "S", the DSP 
also provides for adaptation of the driving set 
values to the driving conditions.
The introduction of the "S" programme ena-
bles a significant extension of the useful shift 
range between economy and sports. 
The "S" programme comprises the following 
special features: 
– If, during driving with constant accelerator 
pedal position, the selector lever is set to 
the "S" position, the system always shifts 
down, within defined limits.
– In order to achieve a direct driving reaction 
in response to accelerator pedal actuation, 
the converter clutch is closed during driv-
ing operation, where possible.
– If, in conjunction with the overall gearbox 
ratio, 5th gear is designed as overdrive 
gear (overdrive, 4+E), only 1st -4th gears 
are shifted.
We recommend the multi-function steering 
wheel (available as optional extra) with steer-
ing wheel "tiptronic" ("thumb shifting").

Special feature:  
The countdown from approx. 10 seconds to 
return to normal automatic operation is inter-
rupted, in the event that cornering is detected 
or the vehicle is in overrun operation.
When normal driving conditions are detected 
again, the countdown recommences from
approx. 10 seconds. An innovation for all automatic gearboxes is 
the "Tip in D " function. This means that the 
steering wheel "tiptronic" function is now 
also available in selector lever position "D".
The transition to the "tiptronic" function is 
effected by actuating one of the two tip 
switches on the multi-function steering wheel 
(selector lever in position "D"). The system 
then switches to the "tiptronic" function for 
approx. 10 seconds. All gears can be shifted 
within the range of permissible engine 
speeds. 
The system returns to normal automatic oper-
ation approx. 10 seconds after the last tip 
request.

The suspension strut mounting is of the bulky 
rubber bearing construction. 
It consists of two functional components:
– The inner part forms the connection to the 
piston rod. 
– The larger outer part provides for acoustic 
insulation of the shock absorber. 
Axles 
Four-link front axle 
The thorough further development of the 
light-weight construction resulted in a weight 
reduction of approx. 8.5 kg at the front axle. 
In addition to all transverse links, the pivot 
bearing is now also made of aluminium.
The wheel bearing is attached to the pivot 
bearing via four bolts. The wheel hub can be 
pressed in and out.

The front-wheel drive version is fitted with a 
wheel bearing unit with integral wheel hub, 
which is mounted on a stub axle forged 
together with the wheel carrier. 
Trapezium link rear axle 
The rear axle design with largely identical 
components is used in both the front-wheel 
drive as well as in the quattro versions.
The wheel bearings of the quattro version 
consist of pressed-in, double-row angular ball 
bearings with conventional wheel hubs.

The additional cross member enables support 
over a longer lever arm, which positively influ-
ences vibration and load cycle characteristics.
The aluminium cross member is bolted to the 
body as well as to the rear subframe mount-
ings and, in addition to its supporting func-
tion for the gearbox mounting, serves as a 
body-stiffening tunnel bridge. 
Mechanical unit mountings 
Running gear 
The three-point mechanical unit mount-
ing is used for all engine/gearbox 
combinations except those including 
the 01V 5-speed automatic gearbox. A newly designed three-point mechanical unit 
mounting is used in the new Audi A4.
The hydraulically damped engine mountings 
(electrically-controlled version for diesel 
engines) are fastened directly to the longitu-
dinal members via die-cast aluminium brack-
ets.
The gearbox mounting is effected by means 
of a conventional rubber bearing on a body-
mounted aluminium carrier, which is pro-
duced according to the hollow sand casting 
technique.

Brake system 
The new Bosch ESP 5.7 is introduced in the 
Audi A4. The ESP 5.7 is distinguished by the 
following special features:
– The hydraulic unit and control unit form a 
single unit.
– The charging pump (actuation of ESP 
hydraulic pump V156) is discontinued.
– A brake assistant is included. 
Hydraulic modulator 
Due to the increased brake fluid viscosity at 
extremely low ambient temperatures, the 
required delivery rate for the return pump for 
ABS V39 could not be achieved without a 
charging pump (resulting from the increased 
suction resistance in the system).
The purpose of the development of the 
ESP 5.7 was to improve the suction of the ABS 
return pump so that the charging pump was 
no longer necessary.
The charging pump could be discontinued 
through the use of a two-stage ABS return 
pump, enlarging the cross-section of the 
brake lines and the use of a larger-dimen-
sioned central valve in the brake master cylin-
der.

The graphic shows a comparison of the 
suction volumes of both pump versions.
In the single-stage ABS return pump, the 
entire suction volume must be drawn in and 
flow through the suction line during one 
piston stroke (piston stroke from TDC to BDC). The suction pressure is correspondingly high 
and increases with increasing viscosity. 
Cavitation and the associated drop in 
performance on the pressure side, are the 
results.
