We think youʼve made an excellent choice in allowing HAWK® to protect your bike. Now the question is: “How in the world am I going to install this – there are so many wires.” What seems like a hard task is actually not too bad; however, you need to have a least some mechanical ability. Installation is all about planning, gathering information, and careful execution. Yes, you will need to do a little research to make your installation easier. The more information and reference diagrams, the better. You will need to learn how to test the polarity of a wire using a digital multi-meter; see separate section how to use digital multi-meter. Lastly, you will need your basic tools to remove some vehicle panels to access the vehicle wiring.

The Audi 2.7 turbo engine has been around for some time now. As the engine ages the hoses connecting the turbo pluming can develop leaks. The goal of this document is to supplement AWE Tuning’s 2.7t pressure test document http://tinyurl.com/q45t4 in finding charge pressure leaks. An understanding of the 2.7t plumbing can help in diagnosing any leaks. The picture below is from the 2.7t study guide and shows the primary air path.

I will show you how to put your Bosch VE type injection pump head back on the pump body and how to install all the parts inside the pump. You most likely had leaking seals on your pump and pulled the head off to put a new seal on and everything fell inside and now you have a mess on your hands. This how-to shows the pump head and associated parts only. The injection quantity parts have been show in other threads.

Finally the procedure we have all been waiting for: the “A4 Timing Belt Procedure“, including the automatic and manual transmission differences. Some people have argued till they are blue in the face that “mark and pray” was the easiest way to change one of these belt, and it has been proven that this belt can be changed in under 2 hours using the full factory method as demonstrated here in this thread. The procedure utilizes all the factory tools and processes. The reason for going to the extreme of utilizing all the tools is the elimination of all possibilities of making a $2500.00+ mistake and destroying the head. You do not need many tools to complete this job. What you do need is a thorough understanding of the procedure and what you are about to accomplish.

I finally got around to doing my brake fluid change this weekend. All in all, the job was pretty easy. Removing the wheels and getting the jetta up on jack stands took a good portion of my time. I understand that this may not be necessary, but I wanted to poke around and inspect everything. I used a motive power bleeder to do the change. I confirmed dieseldorf’s findings that this can be done without putting fluid in the bleeder. I just used a turkey baster to remove as much of the old fluid as possible from the fluid reservoir, and then filled it with the new ATE blue fluid. My old fluid was amber.
