Audi A4 TyrolSport UGSMIC Install Instructions

12:37 AM by onesecond ·
Please be advised the vehicle in this example is a 2001 A4. 1997-1999.5 have a different headlight arrangement and no MAP sensor. Removing the two-piece headlights on 1997-1999.5 cars is a simple process and should be self explanatory.
1. Turn the wheels all the way to one side, remove the fender liner screws. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the opposite sides and repeat.
2. Unhook the tab for the lower grill and remove. Repeat for the other side.
3. Remove the two hex bolts from the bottom of the bumper with a 6mm hex wrench.
4. Unhook the tabs for the front bumper. First, push down on the bumper, then pull outwards. This process can be frightening for a first timer, as it takes a lot of force to pull the bumper skin away from the vehicle after pushing downwards. Repeat for the other side.
5. Pull the bumper assembly forward. Unhook the connectors of the fog lights on both sides by inserting a flat blade screwdriver in the tab and lightly turning. Pull the connectors off.
6. Disconnect the headlight washers hose by removing the plastic horsheshoe on the hose junction. If you like, you can clamp the hose before disconnecting so that your reservoir doesn’t empty.
7. Remove the rubber hood insulation on the leading edge of the radiator support.
8. Remove the driver side headlight. There are three torx screws. Two of them are shown in the following image. One of them is located deep inside the opening in the fender. After loosening, the screw can be removed using a magnet or pickup tool.
9. Remove the headlight by disconnecting the connectors for the main and side bulbs. As before, insert the flat blade screwdriver in the tab, and lightly turn. Pull off connector.
10. Remove the 3 T45 bolts and single 10mm nut on driver side. 4 T45 bolts and single 10mm nut on the passenger side. Pull out the bumper shocks.
11. Remove three T30 screws on both driver and passenger side for the radiator support.
12. Remove three quick-release screws from the leading edge of the plastic belly pan.
13. Remove the intercooler shroud. First, push up on the shroud, then pull out toward the front of the car.
14. (Optional step for cars equipped with horns in front of the stock intercooler) Disconnect the horn connector by grasping the metal ends and squeezing. Remove the horn by loosening the 13mm bolts
15. Remove the airbox cover, and the plastic inlet hose that connects to the airbox.
