I am looking to fab a heat shield for my 2001 a4 2.8 (im not sure how much difference there is in engine bays between the 1.8t and 2.8) and i was wondering if anyone did this and i really want to know what the mounting points could be. I tried looking in the engine compartment and couldnt really find any spots to mount it...i have the k&n intake kit and i have some aluminum...a decent sized piece...i would really appreciate it if anyone had any ideas for this and pictures would be great if you have done this yourself


here is a link to someone that posted pics of the intake on the forums just for reference... k&n intake

 

just make one out of a piece of sheet metal

 

what engine do u have the 1.8 or 2.8

 

i said i have a 2.8 and i said i have a nice size piece of sheet metal...i was asking for possible mounting points or designs/dimensions that people have already used and possibly pictures if anyone has done it

 

I also considered doing this for my 2.8. You could try the mounting points for the stock airbox as well as possibly riveting/clipping the sheet metal to the the frame rail.

 

well then, what the hell are you doing here...theres no better way to fabricate then actually looking at it
