Anybody replaced these on the 1.8t?

Mine tap like hell when it's hot, thinking they might be leaking down.

 

Were you planning on replacing them yoursef?

 

i had them replaced. there only like 6 bucks lifter but have a shop do it. if you mess up the valvetrain youll be parkin the car for a while

 

Was thinking about it, but then i remembered there are 20 of them. They only cheap then i take it, that's a good thing. How long is the job approx?

 

for you to do it? about a couple oif weekends. for a shop to do it. about 6 hours

 

Sh*t, indepth job then. Is it head off on the 20v engine? or can you keep the head on?

 

you can keep the head on but you have to take off the springs camshafts valves (so they dont fall into the block) and then you have to put it all back together. then you have to let the car sit and turn the crankshaft 5 degrees every 15 minutes to restretch the springs or you will have a ruined engine

 

Sounds fun, might leave it to my local guy to do, finally the Control arms are being replaced on it under recall on the 9th, and Audi even said i can have a loan car!
