Audi A8 - Video tutorial

Model: Audi A8 - Years 2002-2009
Part: Transmission
Operation: Issues relating to transmission

This video illustrates some problems related to the transmission of an Audi A8. A diagnostic of the faults found on the car is also illustrated. First, the transmission control unit of the automatic gearbox (TCU) located at the top left of the bonnet is checked; once you have verified that there is no problem you move on to the gear lever. In this case none of the gears work except the second one, therefore all the lights are on. The latest images show that loosening the top line of the transmission oil cooler can control its pressure.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
