[s-cars] steering wheel R&R

[Larry]

Don't know if this applies to Audi's or not, but a common step I've seen for others is to step on the brake (or turn on the lights for that matter, just remember to turn them off afterwards) for several seconds to discharge any capacitance or inductive stored charge in the system after disconnecting the battery and before step 2.  I'd call it a reasonable precaution.
