does this really work? do i still have to pull the head to use this?
I'm happy to hear ur comments.....thanks.

 

I used a helicoil on an old air-cooled VW engine before and it worked great, but that was a long time ago. The principle is fairly sound and I wouldn't expect any change in performance, unless your are seriously pushing power with your engine. And, you don't have to pull the head, it is nearly as easy as changing spark plugs. Good luck.



Cheers!

 

thanks chef! I'm glad to hear that i don't have to pull the head....what a relief![sm=happy046.gif]

 

chef do you know if that kit in that link is the right one? which is the right insert?

 

how did you strip the thread? there is a re-thread tool helicoil is a last resort

 

AUDIPOWER!!!!

havn't seen you around in a long time! good to see you may have an easy fix for your car.... i know you were stressin' pretty bad over that.... in other news i will see you this weekend. i think i might drive up tonight in my rental car(my baby's in the shop).... so i've got a 2007 black A4 2.0t in my possesion.... damn thing has 7 gears! haha.. on the freeway doing 80 mph (in 7th gear) i'm only at 2k rpm....lol! funny huh?

i didn't strip it...it had to have been stripped from the previous owner. I haven't ever changed my spark plugs.
