WG removal

[s2_southwest]

I assume that i can remove the whole wg assembly by removing the 4 nuts arrowed in red, without having to remove the wg cap etc arrowed in yellow in order to remove the whole wg. Any problems i should look out for?

Yes, remove those 4 nuts and the 3 that attach to the downpipe and lift the whole thing up.
Pretty straight forward, just be careful not to round the heads on the 12mm nuts

cheers sal, just need to remove it so i can get to replace the 4th nut that bolts the downpipe on that came loose

You'll find that a banana shaped spanner is very useful for this little chore. Of course Audi list an official tool for this - you can get banana spanners from Machine Mart. BTDT

that doesnt surprise me, i did it today anyway, just had to grind down a ring spanner that i had and it managed to fit into the cut out in the casting for the spanner to fit in.

i guess making things easier without the need for special tools is a bit too much to ask for lol
