    Also got this locking tool from Alex. The plan is now to get the car fully stripped down and serviced. So that’s the timing belt, idler, water pump, thermostat, camshaft seal, crank pulley seal, both V belts, air filter, pollen filter, spark plugs, oil, oil filter, coolant, brake fluid and that’s about it. Just remembered, there’s two new bumper jets to modify and fit as well which I can do as the front bumper will be off.

      So you will be busy then.
      Change the two little coolant pipes while you are there. The thin one that runs to the turbo and the thicker one that goes from the thermo housing.

        And so it begins or should I say that was the plan. Changing the drop links on my wife’s polo took a lot longer than I expected due to the Allen bolts rounding. I think it’s about time I used an air gun or bought an electric gun as they would have been off in no time.

        Also a word of warning, the Ross Tech lead I bought earlier turned out to be a fake. Because the seller doesn’t accept returns I’m going through PayPal to get this sorted. The conclusion though is that I’ll buy new through Gendan. This way I can get all the software updates and free support for life.

          Now the front end is off there’s a few issues, but nothing major. Jubilee clip around the turbo is not tight. A perished vacuum pipe to the blow off valve. The oil cooler is full of rubbish. V belt delaminating. Last of all the OEM clip on the power steering pipe is leaking. No snapped bolts so far which is a first.

            Before refitting the front bumper I want to do the headlight washer jet mod by refashioning the range rover parts. My question is, how do I get these out or do I leave them in and just push the new washer jets in from the top?

                There’s a thread called Headlamp Washer Jets by Tonks4x4. It shows how to modify the ranger rover part to replace the Audi one as it’s NLA.

                Here’s my work in progress from this evening.

                  Removing the T-pieces from the back of the washers won't help with anything unfortunately, removing them is a PITA! The Audi originals are actually available on Tradition again btw, part no. 893807185

                    Correct. I don’t know why I even thought that was the right way. Once the replacement ones are fashioned into shape they will be forced home into position. That’s the plan anyway.
