Hello, I'm Asko and welcome to "Sweat pants garage"
This time we continue work with Audi
and from where we left lastime we're going to install that timing belt
That was the plan and let's see how this ends
anyway let's ge to work
here's new tensioner roller and timing belt
and then theres this back cover piece
that hole is prolly
for that pipe
dunno where it should go
does it go somewhere here
but we'll see that later
I will put that first and then see how that timing belt should go
timing belt is now installed it still needs to be tightened properly
and that hole, it wasn't for that pipe there is a bolt that comes through it
I took coolant off for nothing or not just for nothing
I can now check that temperature sensor that is under there.
Red that it is prone to fail
it was caller multifail sensor or something
but anyway could that be the reason for bad idle
I can now take that off when there's no coolant
I want to just see how old it looks
and then this bolt I thougt you could get this from anywhere
but I was so wrong.
FEBI had similar bolt but it had no sleeve on it, so dunno if it fits
then BMW had similar bolt also so dunno if that's easier to get
it wasn't fully threaded but it doesn't matter as it don't have to be
Have to use this now and change it later
this was so rusted that I had to clean it with my 6 EUR sandblaster
most rust came off
It's quite hard to clean it otherwise.
I have this Deox Gel so I use this now to get the rest off
It has to work at least for an hour
This is so cold now so I will heat it up a bit with propane torch
after that I put that gel on and wait for that hour
see if that left over rust would come off
so I could paint that as it's easy to do now when it's off
Deox gel has now done it's work and I brushed it with steel brush
washed it and it starts to rust imidiately
I will clean it with degreaser
after that some epox and some spray paint
Pulley is now painted.
I sprayed 2 coats of black and it should be dry.
Atleast now It looks bit better than it was
have to start putting everything back
those protectors to there and tighten that timing belt to spec
and change that bolt after we get a new one
apparently you could reuse that bolt
but I dunno how old that is and the head was bit damaged
so I want to be sure and change it anyway I start putting everything back
Little problem with that cover theres a different water pump
or that wheel is different
this is projecting
how to say it.. an ellipse
so this cover wont fit as it hits that wheel
you can see it, if camera will show it
I already bought that back cover
So I dunno should I just heat and mold this cover
I really don't know what would be the most sensible thing
I got this to get that cover on and now I don't because of that waterpump
That water pump is quite new so I don't want to buy a new one because of that
and is there any reason to buy a new one just to get a different pulley wheel
have to think a bit
with my luck there will definitely be a rock or something that hits the belt
if I leave it that way
we'll have to think...
it's a next friday and I have worked with that cover off camera
tried to get it fit properly
I made a lump to it for that water pump
from there it got too hot. It hardened and cracked a bit
but that doesn't matter
then I had to modify these
cover streched a bit so I had to add some extra sheet here
then I had to add some also to this braket
I have painted these and next we should install those
After that let's see how that cover sits
Cover is on and I tightened the timing belt to spec
have to double check that later on
When I made this lump that streched the cover a bit
so I had to add about 2-3mm extra to that metal cover
so cover will stay there
and then
I dunno why this support is here but it has this lock thing
I welded some extra to this
and now it will stop cover to pushing towards motor
now it should be good and on the right place
Have to see after starting the engine if it hits to that timing belt
But that's now done.
theres a gas spring bracket missing from here
I ordered that at the same time from the TR shop
so this should go here
it has been somewhere here
this holds the other end of gas spring
and hood has its own bracket
I thought I'dd add this now here
have to grind those old welds away
Sprayed some Zinc to those
both sides also to that bracket
and while that dried I took multi fail sensor off
I wanted to see how many pins it has
This has 3 and apparently this is better than the older that has 4 pins
Atleast according to forums
don't know about this but that plug was full of water
think that doesn't help to it if this has failed
the plug is a rubber cup that comes to this
that cup was filled with water when I have washed the engine
anyway I will put that back
looks quite old, but we'll see that later
have to weld that bracket now
ok let's end this episode here
week has gone when I started this and it starts to be late for this evening
this is a good time to make a brake. I will continue tomorrow
But now timing belt is changed
cover is modified that it fits
hood gas spring holder is now temporary fitted
that need to be test fitted with hood
then I changed that pollen filter housing
because you cannot get a new filter to that old one
but to costs. I made a cheat sheet
I haven't noted steering pump hoses and banjo seals that have installed already
those were 4,40€
Engine side timing belt cover was 39,21€
belt was 10,52€
Tensioner roller was 20,48€
gas spring bracket was 16,96€
fresh air bracket 15,26€
new filter 4,13€
shipping that included few other parts also
12,96€
that will do 213,94€
So we can say that we have invested 214€ to that car.
but this time we'll say bye for now!
