Radiator
fan
The radiator fan is driven by the engine via
the V-belt. The viscous clutch regulates the
speed of the fan according to the tempera­
ture of the coolant.
An auxiliary electric radiator fan switches on
and off depending on coolant temperature
and other vehicle operation conditions.
� WARNING
• Always use extreme caution to
prevent clothing. jewelry, or long
hair from getting caught in the en­
gine driven radiator fan, V-belt or
other moving parts.
• Never touch the auxiliary elec­
tric radiator fan. The fan can
switch on suddenly and injure you.
Always heed all WA RNINGS
on page 232. Power
steering
Yo ur vehicle is equipped with a Servotro­
nic power steering. The degree of
power assistance is regulated electronically
according to road speed.
The fluid reservoir is in the engine compart­
ment near the windshield washer container.
The correct fluid level in the reserv oir is im­
portant for the proper functioning of power
steer ing.
The power steering fluid level is checked
during the scheduled Maintenance ser­
vices.
If the electronic regulating system is not
working properly, this is most noticeable
when turning the steering wheel at low
speeds (for example when parking) -more
effort will be required than usual. The fault
should be rectified by an Audi Dealer as
soon as possible. VEH
ICLE CARE
Note
• When the engine is running, never hold
the steering wheel turned all the way to the
right or to the left for longer than 15 sec­
onds. The power steering pump will over­
heat the hydraulic fluid if you hold the steer­
ing wheel all the way turned.
This will damage the power steering
system.
Each time the steering wheel is turned all
the way to the right or left when stopped,
you will hear noises caused by the severe
stress placed on the power steering pump.
At the same time, engine idle speed drops.
• If the power steering system
should fail, or if the engine is not
running (for example, while being
towed). you will still be able to steer
the vehicle, however. more effort
will be required.
• If the power steering system should
have a leak, or is not functioning properly,
contact your authorized Audi Dealer imme­
diately.

CARE
Spark plugs
Spark plugs are replaced during the Audi
scheduled Maintenance Service.
If you have to replace the spark plugs be­
tween the Audi Maintenance services, be
sure to note the following:
• Engine, spark plugs and the ignition sys­
tem are matched to each other. To avoid
faulty operation or engine damage, use only
Original Audi spark plugs. It is especially im­
portant to note the number of electrodes on
the spark plug and the heat value.
• Since spark plug specifications may
change for technical reasons during a model
year, we recommend that you obtain your
spark plugs from an authorized Audi Dealer,
who has the latest information.
Always heed all WARNINGS
on page 232. Belts
Ribbed V-Belt
The radiator fan, hydraulic pump (power
steering), alternator and air conditioner
compressor are driven by one V-belt.
The installed V-belt conforms to the highest
quality requirements. The V-belt adjusts its
own tension.
Replacing of the V-belt should be
performed by your authorized Audi
Dealer or a qualified workshop.
When replacing a belt, it is not sufficient to
use just any belt of the same size. For safe
and reliable operation, use only Genuine
Audi V-belts specially designed for your ve­
hicle. The correct belts can be obta ined at
your authorized Audi Dealer. �W
ARNING
To prevent serious personal inju­
ries stay well clear of the V-belt,
The radiator fan and the V-belt
driven accessories when the en­
gine is running. The V-belt will be
inspected and replaced by your au­
thorized Audi Dealer during a
scheduled Maintenance Service.
Timing belt
• Yo ur engine is equipped with a long last­
ing toothed belt. The belt will be in­
spected and replaced during a scheduled
Maintenance Service.
Always heed all WA RNINGS
on page 232.

VEH
ICLE CARE----------------------------------------------------
• For safety reasons, tires should be re­
placed in pairs and not individually. The tires
with the deepest tread should always be
mounted on the front wheels.
�W ARNING
It is essential to the safe operation
of your vehicle that you use only
rims and tires that have the same
designation. sizes and types as
those with which your vehicle was
originally equipped.
Using tires and/or wheal rims dif­
ferent from those which originally
came with your vehicle can reduce
the clearance between the wheels
and the vehicle body. The tires
could then rub against the vehicle
body damaging the tire or the ve­
hicle body. or both. and seriously
effect your safety as well as the
safe operation of your vehicle.
256 •
Ve hicles with quattro ® must always
have tires of the same size, construction
and tread type. For details see page 207.
• Never mount used tires if you are not
sure of their previous history.
• Whenever replacing a tubeless tire, al­
ways install a new valve stem. Tire repair
should only be performed by a specialist.
• In the interest of maximum safety and
best all-around vehicle handling, always buy
replacement radial tires that have the same
specifications with regard to tire size, de­
sign, load carrying capacity, speed rating,
tread pattern, tread depth, etc. This also ap­
plies to Audi recommended alternate re­
placement tires. Tire
specifications
�W ARNIN G
Never mix tires of different design
such as steel belted radials with
radial bias belted or bias ply tires
etc. Mixing tire types will adverse­
ly affect road holding and can lead
to loss of vehicle control and per­
sonal injury.
A knowledge of tire designations makes it
easier to choose the correct tires. Radial ply
tires have the following designations:
e.g. 225 /55 R 17 97 H
225 lire width in mm
55 Heig ht/width ratio in %
R lire construction: Radial
17 Rim diameter in inches
97 Load rating code
H Speed rating code letter

ICLE CARE
Winter tires
The tires for your vehicle were selected for
optimal performance under a variety of driv­
ing conditions.
If your Audi is equipped with high perfor­
mance tires (identified by code letter V, W
or Z on the tire flank) and you drive frequent­
ly on ice or sno w, you should consider the
installation of all season or winter tires. Let
your authorized Audi Dealer advise and as­
sist you.
For winter driving, the driveability of your
vehicle can be improved by installing radial
winter tires (M+S) with or without studs1l.
The all season tires with which your ve­
hicle may have been equipped at the factory
are perform ance tires advertised by the tire
manufacturer as suitable for all weather use
or with special mud and snow (M+S) capa­
bility.
Winter tires, sometimes also called snow
tires, are designed for maximum traction in
mud and snow.
,, Check with your local Motor Vehicle Bu­
reau for possible restrictions.
260 When
installing winter tires, please
note the following:
• Only radial ply winter tires may be
installed. Ask your authorized Audi Dealer
for the recommended tire size.
• Winter tires must be mounted on all four
wheels.
• Because of the special design character­
istics of radial ply M+S tires, they must be
inflated 3 psi above the cold tire inflation
pressures required for the regular radial ply
tires. However, never exceed the maximum
tire inflation pressure listed on the tire side­
wall.
• Winter tires will not do their job if the
tread depth is less than 5/32 of an inch
(4 mm). �
WARNING
• Tires with badly wom treads
and studs are very dangerous.
Make sure they are replaced imme­
diately.
• Never mix tires of different de­
sign such as steel belted radials
with radial bias belted or bias ply
tires, etc. Mixing tire types will ad­
versely affect road holding and
can lead to loss of vehicle control
and personal inlury.
