Would think they will be tired by now.

Would think they will be tired by now.

I guess I can just order them while I am doing the head if they are bad.

Also, what does Audi say about head bolts, do they need changing when head comes off?

Also, what does Audi say about head bolts, do they need changing when head comes off?

Single use only, stretch bolts.

Our AAN heads are attached to the block via twelve (12) PN 034103385C head bolts (Item 11, below). When removing the head to do a headgasket (Item 18 below, PN 034103383AD), new head bolts are required since they are stretch bolts and it is extremely unwise to reuse them.



When removing and re-installing the head, a set pattern for loosening the old bolts and tightening the new bolts is required:



The tool required is a triple-square 10 mm like these:

Great stuff Dave, as usual

I have a set of arp reusable stud bolts for the head if your interested. We're used to bolt a head down but then the engine never ran.

Thanks, but I can't justify the additional cost

Will those head bolts I've got be any use to you Janis?

Any details on that spoiler? PNs? Manufacturer info (Kamei, Votex, ??).

Previously I thought that your Titanium Grey UrS4 avant had spoiler hatch 4A9827023T, with non-third brake light spoiler, 4A9827933D. However that attachment method looks very non-OE standards in my opinion.

This spoiler has been fitted to A6 tailgate. I will get you a picture of OEM UrS4 tailgate once I get back to London
