WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Audi S5 Sportback, 2025 Audi RS 5 Sportback, and 2025 Audi A5 Sportback. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

-- Establish the requirements. Refer to Calibration Requirements .

-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester .

Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting :VAS 6350/1A  , Installing

-- Check which hole circle the rims have.

-- Equip the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings :VAS 6350/1  appropriately.

-- To do so, secure the three wheel bolt adapters in the hole for each Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings :VAS 6350/1  .

-- Place the paddle on both Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings :VAS 6350/1  and secure them using a clamping screw.

-- Place the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings :VAS 6350/1  onto the wheel bolts on the rear wheels.

The Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings :VAS 6350/1  are positioned by the "O-rings" in the adapters and secured.

NOTE:

Attach the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings :VAS 6350/1  onto the wheels so that any installed "anti-theft" wheel bolts are not connected to the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings :VAS 6350/1  .

-- Adjust the paddles with the aid of clamping screw so that they move freely just above the floor. Check the paddles for ease of movement.

-- Install and align the Calibration Tool :VAS 6350A  . Refer to Calibration Unit .

Distance measurement

-- Switch on the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser :VAS 6350/2  .

The following display appears -1-.

-- Push the measurement button briefly.

The laser switches on.

-- Make sure the "laser beam" for the distance measurement contacts the lower enlarged part of the measuring paddle -1-.

If that is not the case, then correct the measuring paddle -1- height using the clamping screw on the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting :VAS 6350/1A  .

-- Use one hand to hold the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser :VAS 6350/2A  firmly in the catch bracket on the Calibration Tool :VAS 6350A  ; the laser beam should be seen on the measuring paddle during this.

-- Then press the measurement button for the distance measurement briefly.

-- Write down the value.

-- Repeat this measurement on the other side of the Calibration Tool :VAS 6350A  in the same way for the rear wheel.

If values are not identical:

-- If both measured values are not the same, then readjust the Calibration Tool : VAS 6350A  correspondingly until the distance values are the same on both sides.

-- Make sure the Calibration Tool - Line Laser :VAS 6350/3A  strikes the center above the emblem and that the level indicator remains centered. Adjust if necessary.

-- Measure the height of the Calibration Tool :VAS 6350A  , dimension -H- (top edge platform - floor).

-- Make sure the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser :VAS 6350/2A  is positioned correctly (flush with the front edge).

The display -2- shows how to position the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser :VAS 6350/2A  .

-- Press the corresponding button.

-- Note the measured distance from the upper edge of the Calibration Tool :VAS 6350A  to the floor.

-- Then use commercially available measuring tape to measure the height from the center of the rearview camera lens to the wheel contact surface.

-- Mark the determined height.

The measured distance measurement, the height of the calibration device and the height of the center of the rearview camera lens must be entered in the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in "mm".
