TECH HELP NEEDED! (35K Service)

[Turboluvr]

Joe,
I love the ElsaWin manual, I've got to get my hands on one of those DVDs. I've tried the torrent route tonight but my skills on the interweb are not that polished.

Dave,
I'll inspect the bearings when I get in and if they're dry, I'll leave them alone. I might as well replace the water pump while I'm in there, that's an easy swap. The S8 front end removal pictures help a lot. I was trying to move things to the sides to allow the support to slide forward, I'll try rotating the entire assembly forward. Sorry about the worthless post but like I said, my camera's image went distorted, apparently there's a recall on it.

James,

Go ahead and change the rollers and tensioner. I just looked up the Audi schedule and those are noted for change. Its the seals I would not touch if not leaking and look good. That and the water pump I would not touch at 35k. But hey you have all the parts and I see your point.

Just wish you had pics. Borrow a camera. Its 2009 not 1899.

Patience Dave. I've been chatting with 4everRS and it looks like he's coming down to my place towards the end of Dec. and we'll be doing his timing belt. With two people, we'll be able to do a full pictorial and write up. Mine will follow in late Jan. to early Feb.

Ahhhh,

Finally, tell me when to book my flights.

With me in the market for a second RS6 and both coming due for the TB....35 and 75k. I got to get real good at changing that sucker.

Actually I liked the idea of coming out to Arizona better. But if you want to swing up to the tundra that works too, I'll pick up some extra beverages.

Or we do both....I will come up for the first one. Then you can fly down or bring yours down to do your belt in the warm AZ winter. Chilly mornings in the 40s but my shop is fully insulated, heated and A/C.

80 and sunny every day.

Hell, I can rangle up some paint work we can do in the shop. Some stripes need to be finished on my trailer, chips on the front of my Celica. It would be a blast.

Greg-too funny. You can come on down as well. Hell, we can line up 3 cars and do the TB all at the same time. Dont worry, I have the room and its all paved. Rear shop in the locked and fenced back yard. 6ft high fence. Its safe back there.

Now you're talking. That would work, Feb is about the right time to get the hell out of MN. Lets keep this idea rolling. Three RS6 timing belts in a weekend, imagine all the G12 coolant running down the driveway into the street.
