Hi , just to update managed to fit the valve cover gasket without issue, i managed release the tension in the chain using the cam chain tensioner tool without too much bother but i did slightly over tighten it and saw cracks apear on the platic tool but it held out while I completed the job...
The easiest option for me is to order a cheap/used unit and and remove the mesh and then try to insert it into my tensioner through the 15mm gap that I removed the cam chain tensioner gasket through...wish me luck
I Certainly didn't plan on having to completely remove the cam chain tensioner, so if its possible to insert a new mesh filter without complete removal I may try that.
I am also considering leaving the tensioner as is and just replace the gaskets and half moon piece, not sure how long the filter...
Thanks MPH I managed to get some elring Dirko HT from GSF today and got back to removing the cam chain tensioner gasket, only to find a small mesh filter had been pulled out with the gasket, looks like I'm in the same situation as you....
is the only plan of action a complete replacement or is...
cheers mate, I need it asap as the cars off the road, been looking at the loctite gasket sealant but it confusing as they have a lot of sealants available I believe It Loctite 5926, which is available via amazon prime. don't fancy having to spend £43 as you only need 8 pea sized dabs of it on...
Hi, just want to thank everyone on Audisport s3/8L for the years of help if received while owning my S3, Im finally being forced to change my Valve cover gasket and cam chain cover Gasket which have a very slow leak for years, The reason I am finally replacing them is last week I started getting...
TPS are being very tight with trade only buisness, there was a time when they would serve everyone but since have locked it down so the general public
have to go to main dealers for there genuine parts. sorry but i dont have an account
have a look at the large fuses in the engine bay mine had corroded badly cleaned them off my scratching them up to make a better contact and the a/c came back to life.
Possible injector failure had one go on me but for 2 injectors to go together would be strange, could try move the injector and see if the misfire follows by logging it on vcds.
Had an injector go on me once, which also gave hesitation and misfire in one cylinder, worth swapping injectors to see if fault moves to another cylinder.
Im intrested in a fresh set of uprated headlights will be glad to get rid of my old faded units, would also be intrested in a uv protection to stop any future fading/yellowing

May go the larger rear caliper piston route if there no easy and cost effective way to have larger rear discs and spacer for the original rear caliper.
What are the part numbers for the A6 4.2l V8 rear calpers and are they easy to find?
