- Mounting additional lights or accesso ries
in front of the air inlets reduces the cool-

temperatures or high eng ine load, t he
engine could overheat.

properly distrib ute the cooling air when
the veh icle is moving.
If the spoiler is
damaged, this could reduce the cooling
effect and the engine could then over-
heat. Ask your authorized Audi dea ler for
assistance.
