This is also the best time to replace your snub mount since it does wear out. Aftermarket urethane ones are available or you can buy a stock hard rubber one for under $7.

 

Btw did you check the site I referenced in my first post? I looked there last year and there was a DIY for the 12v engine that you have.

 

my bad, i must have overlooked it

 

'99 A6 2.8 t-belt writeup

I didn't check it to make sure it was complete but it should give you some ideas

 

damn...thats a whole lot of ****...

 

It seems that way but really it's not as bad as it looks. Take notes, take pics as you go, and put your bolts in labeled ziploc bags (ie, water pump bolts, bumper bolts, headlight bolts) to help out when you reassemble.

Of course that's assuming you do this - did you get a chance to flush the heater core out like we were talking about yet? If so, any luck?

 

no, im gonna do the heater core again this afternoon. got my 10 month old daughter right now runnning around...gotta wait for her to nap... hopefully the flush will do something though...im heading to DC tonight for the capitals and penguins game....wooo hooooo!!!!! lol
