Still need to get some miscellania from the dealer, and the TB tools are on the way from Paul. Oh, and O2 sensors and tools are on the way, mail order. Already had the rear breather hoses.

Glad it's next w/e, this one is going to be very cold and windy. When do you plan to start? Do you have help? I can drop in Saturday AM and Sunday AM, for moral and back support.

You're welcome to stop by, and if I get stuck on something requiring an extra set of hands, I may call, since you're so close.

Thanks, Paul.

AW posting etiquette requires a watch or Audi key fob for scale.

There were a couple of other things in my pile when I did those jobs:

- upper and lower rad hoses: in my experience, removing radiator hoses usually damages them. As it turned out, I didn't damage the hoses this time, but what the heck. 100K miles, they're due.

- the little oil-cooler plastic pipe and o-rings.

I don't see the timing belt dampener/tensioner in your picture...

Damper - far right side, next to the TB.

I got the oil cooler bits at the dealer today, that pic was yesterday.

I've been waffling on the hoses. I think I'll go to the dealer Mon or Tues and get them.

I did only to be punished three days after I finished.

I almost forgot about the one on the aft oil coolant pipe. Best of luck.

Or email me at quattroatl@comcast.net. I'd like to talk to you about a few things, if that's okay.

Thanks!
