How were you able to get the A/C compressor idler off? I have 2 brackets here and none of them have those 3 bolts holding the idler to the bracket?
Heat + new bearing?
Hi! Don't really know what you mean, in this picture the A/C compressor isn't mounted. The thing bolted to "A/C bracket" is the bearing house to the visco fan.
Parts for the IC-build came today. Ss-pipes used in food industry 63,5x1.6mm, some silicon hoses and IC 450x300x76mm with 2,5" pipe fittings. Will begin to put it together on thursday!

There are two styles of idler bracket bearing assemblies. OPs picture is of an early one. My spare '92 S4 engine has this earlier one. The latter bracket bearings are a press fit & you had better use plenty of red Locktite & drill it for a set screw to hold the new one in place. BTDT. There is a grove midway on the bearing. My first attempt missed the grove & the bearing assembly subsequently moved outwards after a few miles of driving. Dave can you fill us in on the proper P/Ns & change over dates please?
Picture below is on my MY 1995.5 S6 with a build date of 09/95.
