Costco may not have one, I just checked, don't stock anymore...

My battery went out last week. Went to Costco to get new battery. They said they don't stock the A4 battery (type 48, I think) anymore. I went to Wal Mart (I know, I know) and they stocked them. ...

Yeah, it's probably almost all the way out. I think idler has threads on it...

The bolt is that one that you show with a shaft and then threads at the end. It's at that threaded end where it's broke. The problem with drilling it out with those bolt extractor things (I have...

crank pulley to get idler pulley off though, correct? I'd prefer not to have to remove the crank pulley as it's kind of a pain to get off and I don't have the tools (idler pulley remover, crank...

Thanks! It looks like I'll need to remove crank pulley...

Apparently the bolt snapped off deeper than I thought. I bought a broken bolt extractor but it's not long enough. Maybe I can find a longer one. I thought I could just remove the tensioner pulley...

Thanks for help! I didn't put sealant on any bolts except the water pump ones...

It's not too hard to pull front back apart. But those timing cover bolts are a pain to get to! Have to use extensions, knuckles, etc. And it is hard to source leak with covers on. It just appears...

One thing to look at is the MAF (at least it's called that on an A4). I had a no start...

I'm pretty sure I had the covers off when I started the car, unless that is not possible somehow. Like I said, I did it last fall and just got around to looking at it again. It's hard to tell with...

I'm trying to remember. I did it last fall. I do recall putting sealant on the H20 pump threads...

I think that's the only place I did it. When I had it apart (meaning covers off) and started car, it did not leak. Put cover on, etc. and 10 minutes later it started leaking. And it's a pretty big...

I just did mine. Not too hard. Replaced crank seal but still leaking. Any advice?

I rented all the tools from blau parts and it went pretty well. Replaced both cam and crank seals as well as water pump, etc. Crank seal was leaking before. After I replaced seal, it didn't leak...
