Hi, a bit out of the ordinary I know but Audi have 'diagnosed' my non-starting fault to a damaged pulse ring. It has had a recon engine fitted, though it was running for a couple of months.
I am very sceptical and they want £1600 to remove the engine and replace it. As I understand it this ring sits on the end of the crank behind the flywheel. The sorry tale of my A2 has been posted before and Spike you have commented on the removal of the pulse ring previously on my post.
What I need is confirmation as to whether the pulse ring can be removed with the engine in situ by dropping the crank in some way or whether the engine definitely has to come out. If anyone can help, with details, that would be fab.
BTW I got advise here that the sump can be removed without removing the gearbox, that was news to my Audi dealer! I insisted that they tried it an loe and behold you were right. So well done for that, its something when others know more about the cars than Audi!
Hope you can help
