Audi GT Coupe Cam Cover

Malcolmrs2000 · 27-02-23, 08:35 PM

Is it easy to remove the cam cover and cam belt cover so that I can get them powder coated?

Yes.
Get a new gasket whilst there.

So nothing too technical..???…I am a Ford guy after all!..just the nuts on the covers?

No, nothing difficult at all. Just don't over torque the little nuts on the cam cover. It's quite low torque, 10nm from memory.

You can still but second hand Haynes manual for this car cheap on ebay. A worthwhile investment

Think I have a manual somewhere in the garage but it meant getting off the couch and going outside on a very cold day! 🤣🤣

This might give You an insight what is going on under the Coupe bonnet

Is AUTODOC the best source for a gasket?…main dealer said the part went out of production in 2013!!😱😱
