    I知 looking too replace my passengerside driveshaft by myself but i知 not 100% confident yet.

    I know my way around cars but you never know with Audis .

    So I looked up a clip on youtube and it seemed very simple,

    He took off tyre ofcourse.
    He broke loose the big nut 19mm allen.
    Removed plastic shield held by 2 M10 nuts.
    Loosened 6 torx from flange .
    And pulled the whole shaft inwards away from hub.

    Is that it ???
    My model is a non Quattro, s-tronic A5 2.0 tfsi

    That is supposed to come out just by disconnecting the inner and the outer bolt BUT the manual says that if it has a subframe shield you have to release the upper links which is a sketch. I have looked on ETKA with your VIN and you do not appear to have this shield. Remember all the bolts and nuts removed MUST be replaced and the torque procedure for the outer bolt is specific.

    I did have a shield, but still managed to take it out the easy way.
