2022-2026 Audi e-tron GT Front License Plate Installation TSB

Audi has released Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 66 24 11 2064015/4, dated August 29, 2024, to guide technicians on the correct installation of the front license plate on various e-tron GT models. This bulletin supersedes an earlier TSB, Group 66 number 23-99, from April 13, 2023, incorporating updates for newer model years and revised service instructions.

The design aesthetic of the Audi e-tron GT, RS e-tron GT, and S e-tron GT models means the front bumper cover and fascia do not feature obvious mounting points for a front license plate carrier. Instead, the license plate is designed to be attached directly to the front bumper cover or grille assembly. This TSB provides the necessary steps to ensure proper and consistent installation of the Audi e-tron GT front license plate.

What the TSB Addresses

This Technical Service Bulletin addresses the challenge of installing a front license plate on specific Audi e-tron GT models. The primary issue is that the vehicle's front bumper cover and fascia lack clear, obvious mounting points for a license plate. While this is not a customer-reported concern or a diagnostic fault, it is an observation made during pre-delivery inspection (PDI) or other workshop activities. The TSB provides a standardized method to correctly position and secure the Audi e-tron GT front license plate.

Repair Procedure Summary

The installation of the front license plate involves a precise, multi-step process to ensure correct placement and secure attachment. The procedure, as outlined in TSB 66 24 11 2064015/4, includes:

1. Preparation: The front license plate is attached using two self-tapping screws. Technicians must refer to the dimensions specified in the Elsa Repair Manual under Body >> Body Exterior >> 66 Exterior Equipment >> Radiator Grille/Front Trim >> License Plate, Mounting for precise placement. Key dimensions are: Dimension -a- at 21.0 mm, Dimension -b- at 89.0 mm, and Dimension -c- at 120.5 mm.
2. Template Creation: To ensure repeatable and accurate positioning, a template must be fashioned from a manila folder or card stock. The specified dimensions are transferred to this template. The top edge of the template should align with the top fold of the material, and the centerline should be marked to be consistent with the Audi Rings motif.
3. Marking Screw Locations: A hole-punch is used on the template to create precise marks for the screw locations. This allows for consistent marking on the vehicle's bumper.
4. Drilling Holes: Once the locations are marked on the bumper, two 3mm (1/8-inch) diameter holes are drilled. It is crucial that these holes are no deeper than 15mm. Technicians are advised to mark the 15mm (19/32-inch) depth on the drill bit using tape to prevent over-drilling.
5. Screw Installation: Finally, the two self-tapping screws (part number N 909 747 01) are installed. These screws must be torqued to 2.0 Nm to ensure proper and secure attachment of the Audi e-tron GT front license plate.
