How to replace the gaskets of the cylinder covers in the Audi A6?

Model: Audi A6 MK 1, C4 - Years 1994-1997
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the gaskets of the cylinder covers in the Audi A6. Before proceeding, of course, we wait for the engine to be completely cold in order to operate safely. We start by removing the upper cover, then disconnect the two indicated tubes and unscrew the fixing bolts of the cover placed along the entire perimeter. At this point, we can separate the block from the engine, also remove the camshaft cover and remove any residue of the old gasket. To reassemble everything, it will be sufficient to follow the reverse procedure.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
