How to replace the timing belt of an Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 8P, MK 2 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Timing belt

Good morning, today's goal is to replace the timing belt of our Audi A3. Let's start by opening the front hood and removing the air filter system. Then, we will need to remove the cover that protects the timing belt. At this point, we will have to loosen the tensioner that holds the timing belt in place. Once we have completed this step, we can remove the belt itself, and we will have finished the disassembly. To install the new timing belt on our Audi A3, we just need to follow these steps in reverse, and we will have completed the replacement.

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.
