STOP USE OF TOOL IMMEDIATLEY! RISK OF INJURY!
The T10542/2 Threaded Studs included in the T10542 adapter set sold by Matra do not meet the
specified design. There are two T10542/2 Threaded Studs in each T10542 Adapter set.
The procedure for High-Voltage Battery, Lifting in ElsaPro has been updated to no longer require the use
of T10542/2 – Threaded Studs and T10542/3 - Nuts from the T10542 – High-Voltage Adapter Set. These
two components of T10542 need to be disposed of immediately.
We would like to explicitly state that using the non-replaced version entails a risk of injury that may lead
to bodily harm. For this reason, the affected T10542/2 Threaded Studs may not be used under any
circumstances!
There has been a change to the items supplied with kit T10542 due to a modified repair procedure for
removing and installing the High-Voltage battery in the Audi A3 e-tron®. The T10542-ERG Kit updates
the T10542 to the T10542A level. Follow the updated procedure in ElsaPro for proper usage of the
T10542A Tool Kit.
When ordering the tool number T10542A, dealers will receive a new adapter set containing:
• 4 - T10542/1
• 4 - T10542/4
Dealers that already have ordered the T10542 adapter kit require the additional T10542/1+/4 T10542 ERG Supplement Set, which consist of:
• 2 - T10542/1
• 2 – T10542/4
