Q4 Viscomatic pressure akkumulator

Post by alfisty »

Hello everyone
My Q4 had the problem that the four-wheel drive light came on after about an hour of driving.
Error "Hydraulic pressure, fluctuation too large"
This error then appeared more and more frequently. First I changed the oil and also cleaned the rear filter element. Finally, I replaced the accumulator.
I took the FEBI BILSTEIN 01817 pressure accumulator. This is used in brake systems from e.g. BMW with hydraulic brake boosters. The part fits 1:1.
Now the problem is fixed.
