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!
