Hi All ,
Looking for a bit of help , got an exhaust blow on my S3 2002 year model between relentless 4 manifold and turbo . Does anyone have a K04 copper gasket i could buy or borrow ?
Hmm , it has the thicker copper gasket at the moment which has indeed failed ! may be worth trying to remove old failed gasket . Going to be tough to clean the turbo and mani surfaces though !
Many thanks for your advice Tufty and Steve aka S3 Hilife . I've just spent half of yesterday and all today dropping the turbo still could'nt get enough clearance to remove the blown copper gasket even after having removed the turbo support bolt a compltete T*** of a job . Managed to peel / chisel away the old gasket . Cleaned up the mani and turbo surfaces as best i could and smeared in some copper grease . Reamed up the allen key bolts and stud nut and rebuilt . Think ive gotten lucky mani seems ok and its now quite as a mouse . Thanks again mate your advice was much appreciated
