Lubrication of the car (Audi A4 B6)

Regular lubrication helps to ensure the smooth running of parts that otherwise creak, seize, crack and rust. The following rule of thumb should be followed: for lubricating joints with narrow passages into which grease cannot penetrate, it is better to use oil or aerosol lubricant. Surfaces that rub against each other are better lubricated with plastic grease or lubricating paste, since these lubricants adhere better.

The door and tailgate hinges only need to be lubricated with one drop of oil occasionally.

The door latches on the lower hinge are lubricated with a universal consistent lubricant.

The latches on the doors, trunk lid and tailgate can be treated with an aerosol lubricant.

Before the cold season, a little aerosol should be sprayed into the keyhole of the lock cylinders to insulate and dissolve rust. This aerosol lubricates, removes moisture and protects against rust, as well as from freezing in winter. The best, but more expensive, remedy is a special oil for locks, with the help of which you can defrost frozen locks and protect them from freezing for a long time.

At the place of the hood lock where the cable comes out of the casing, a small amount of consistent grease should be applied, and then introduced into the casing, for this you need to operate the lever several times.

Lubricate the bonnet locking clips and the latches on the cross-sheet of the body with consistent grease or spray with aerosol lubricant.

Lubricate the hood hinges with oil or aerosol lubricant.

The sliding roof guides are lubricated with a thin layer of aerosol lubricant.

A small amount of grease is used to lubricate the convertible roof guides.
