Hello Ppl

I've just bought my A6. I need to replace the rear camshaft seal on the 2.8ltr V6.
As far as i know, i need to remove all the front end to take off the timing belt and then pull out the actual Cam Shaft. So now, how do i remove the Front end? Does anyone have pictures also?

It would be awesome if someone could help!!

not sure what year youhave though

 

That is the Correct Year!!

One more question, where would be the marks located for the camshaft alignment?

And how much time would this aprx. take?

Thank you for your help!!

I have no idea on that. I just got mine as well and I have been searching around internet.
try it on audidiy.com or there is another post here too.

 

Awesome.........

Thanks Man!!!

 

RE, TECH ARTICLE. I would not dream of changing the timming belt without the proper cam lock tools. I have them myself and will rent them out, if any one is interested

Beng.....

Cam Lock tools? Could you send me a pic of the tool?

 

Also Beng, how does this tool work?

 

yeah good to have them. Ibought haynes manual for a4 and passat which also have V6 listed
I saw how that tool worked. to keep everything DTC that is nice tool to have.

 

I am not in a position to send pics. the cam lock tool is a bar that locks on both camshafts ( not the gears ) and holds them in the correct position in relation to each other. there is also a crank lok pin so the crank is also locked in position.
