No definitely not and it looks like you may have found your problem.Fingers crossed.

I moved it a bit with hand just to see if it's not loose, and there was a snap, by the time I've taken it out, it's disintegrated. There was some rust on the inside, so there's been a crack for some time.

I really hope this will fix it, and not that it's just another problem on the way

I'm no expert, but this isn't good is it?

i think that you could be pissing in the wind where you might find that if you just bite the bullet and see a recommended mechanic, then all your troubles would be over.

what am i thinking of!! it's an old audi - our troubles are never over!!

I've been pissing in the wind since I got my first classic Audi Well, dad will bring torque wrench, I will check the knock sensors as I have removed the hoses etc. Hope that that will fix it, which I don't think, I'll look for someone who knows his AAN's

i would put up a post and ask the forum to recommend a decent mechanic in your area who knows about these engines..

Good shout. I will try re torquing the knock sensors, if not then i have to see someone.

Have the engine out, wash it and put it back in

Sure...not.

I don't really have access to air line, isn't there anything I can use at home?
