Audi A2 - Video tutorial

Model: Audi A2 MK 1 - Years 1999-2005
Part: Engine head
Operation: Engine head disassembly instructions

If when starting the engine white smoke comes out of the exhaust, it is likely that there is a damage to the cylinder head gasket causing the passage of water in the cylinders; therefore, start inspecting the cylinders by removing the spark plugs: if you have a camera probe, the operation will be simpler and in fact you will immediately notice the camera fogging due to the water vapor. It is therefore necessary to proceed with the disassembly of the cylinder head in order to replace the gasket: start by removing the intake sleeve, the timing cover, the refrigeration system sleeves, the accelerator cable and the throttle body, the thermostatic valve, the other refrigeration hoses, the exhaust manifold support springs when lifting the car), the tappet cover and the timing belt (after aligning the timing references). At this point, unscrew the fixing pins of the cylinder head and extract it from its seat, allowing you to lend a hand given the considerable weight, in order to then be able to access the gasket seat, passing the threaded holes on the cylinder base with a male. Proceed backwards to install the new gasket, evaluating whether it is necessary to completely regenerate the cylinder head (valve seats, rubbers ...) and also replace other elements such as the timing belt.
