I’m not convinced. If you check the specs on AutoDoc I’m not sure they align with Audi. I concluded a genuine gasket at an eye watering £60 was the way to go.Elring seem to be the one's to go for
I found it OK to get on the turbo nuts from underneath the car with my long arms.and finger but one is almost blind, was hard but not.imposible with ratchet spanners. The three tur o to head nuts, well that's another story!! Failed at that, there's one at the back that's insanely buriedOxy gets the 4 turbo to exhaust nuts but then there is still the turbo hanging from the head.
Sweet!I have done two TDI head gaskets one A2 i bought the head gasket was leaking, The other A2 the cam belt lost teeth so i fitted another head, I used Elring head gasket and Elring head bolts bought from the same firm in uk £48.00 for both, The head will come out with the manifold and turbo. the exhaust flange bolts i used gas to heat the nuts The second A2 two nuts were rounded i have sockets that grab a worn nut but i had to use a hack saw blade to cut two nuts and a long chisel to free them i have a four post lift that helped to get to things under the car.
DOnt forget the oil fill pipe and turbo lower pipe whe you tilt the engine forwardI will remove as much as possible to improve access. Heater intake duct, egr valve, expansion tank, camshaft cover, wheel arch liner, timing belt etc
Yes mate!DOnt forget the oil fill pipe and turbo lower pipe whe you tilt the engine forward
Don’t try & lift it yourself with the manifolds attached as it’s very heavy!I'm almost sure you can remove head with manifold still attached I think
hardest part is undoing the 4 exhaust bolts, rests not to bad
Manual says it is a two person lift.Don’t try & lift it yourself with the manifolds attached as it’s very heavy!
