Starter motor help need ASAP
Hello all I've recently got the following a6 allroad 2.5 tdi on a 2001 ...
Now today I've taken the front end off
Alternator is out and I've taken one bolt out the starter motor.... However my problem is the 2nd bolt ...
Has I'm looking at it all I can see is the bolt thread... I've got under the car and can't seem to find a way to get into get the second bolt out....
I really don't want to make more work for self ... How can I get the bolt out from underneath or anyway tbh starter got to come out one way or another..
Thanks very much
Danny

The upper bolt is accessed from the transmission side. Remove the right front tire/wheel assembly. Go in through the wheel well opening forward of the axle shaft. Access to the bolt head is very difficult. Sockets didn't work for me. I had to use short wrenches tandemed up to get enough leverage.
All of this is assuming the TDI bellhousing is the same as the 2.7T

A high level of mechanical apptitude and a tool set built up over30yrs.
Seriously, you may have to cut/bend/weld/modify standard wrenches to remove this one bolt. The Bentley does nottell you about the patience and ingenuity needed to work on our Audi's. There is a reason why these cost so much when repairs are needed.
