Changing my rods, what else do I need? I made a list!

What is the stem seals? I dont know that english word?

Do you have a part no. for the second sump gasket? Or can you point it out in the ETKA link of the sump?

I don't fancy buying anything that ain't from Audi since I can get it for almost nothing at the moment.

I got the second gasket from Audi, so it's the same as the number you have, 074 103 609 F.
I make the valve stem seals 027 109 675.

Jonas, there are times when buying from AUDI makes sense, with gaskets, it isn't so. You get same Reinz gaskets from dealer (in Reinz packages to boot)... Somewhere else the same "set" will be cheaper

[Jonas_R]

I'm not paying a dime for it, why should I buy it from somewhere else?

[gedu]

Ah, sorry, forgot that

[Jonas_R]

@gedu:
Just to be sure, can you buy the Reinz gasket set from an Audi dealer?
It is not that I don't appreciate the hint to get something cheaper. But if I don't get it from my audi dealer in Germany, then it won't be free and I will have to pay myself Which is something I really don't want to do.

Well, they have Audi stickers on the Reinz package. So "OEM" pack is made by Reinz, and they don't seem to bother to hide it

[4WheelDrifter]

Ok Jonas. Forget the Reinz numbers then.
Get 034 198 011 B and 034 198 012 M for the same block and head gasket sets, just with Audi stickers over the Reinz ones.

[Jonas_R]

Do you by any chance now what these sets of gasket contains? Already ordered the gaskets shown in the first post.

[QuattroFever]

where do you put the thrust washers on these? in the center main of the crank?

Every gasket, seal and o-ring that is in or in contact with the head and block. I guess if you're not paying then there is no problem with ordering them all separate.

Here's the Victor Reinz Sets.

Block.




Head.




And here's an Audi Block set I found.
