This is in the year to year changes, but my part number is 06C 253 031 H and I have the good ones
Damnit. That’s going to be an expensive Coke. I’ll either have to pay a fortune to ship it down there, or fly to Aus and buy you one. Either way, I’m fukt.
Hahahaha yep ;D
Real question is can the 3.0 manifolds be removed without pulling the motor? If you can’t swap manifolds within reasonable ease (“reasonable” as in not having to remove a ton of stuff etc) then it really doesn’t matter if sourcing the better version as the motor pull is going to keep anyone from swapping to another crap manifold.
It definitely is a motor pull…
^ If that’s the case, then don’t bother sourcing. I pulled my motor for long tube equal length 321 stainless steel headers. . . anything less no chance in hell. And a big part was b/c I couldn’t stand the thought that I dumped the money into the blower but it was having to be limited b/c the crap manifold.
or pull the heads off … that’s how Jnr got the one side off.
We’ll have to think about trying to get the other off without pulling the engine!!
Im not sure which is worse, pulling heads or pulling an engine
^Well on the S4 you have to pul the engine to pull the heads. . .
Seriously…
Why is that, what part is not accessible with the engine in
Well the 3.0 you don’t need to pull the engine to get the heads off
^Timing chain vs timing belt.
In order to remove the timing chain (that are at the rear of the motor) so that the head can be removed, the motor needs to be out.
Ahhh of course…
Makes sense now
the rear mounted chains make it difficult
I fix
45 in January.
MFG date 08/02.
Live in Maryland 5 minutes from Induktion and 42DraftDesigns.
To get in on the CATS and manifold talk. I have 2 LaBree single big high flow CATS and it looks like 55mm DP
and 55mm full Miltek exhaust.
Probably gona have Induktion do intake spacers, and a Bilstein shock and H&R ride spring upgrade.
If I have tax money left over from fixing a kind of grinding sound when I get on it.
Could that be clutch or gearbox?
45??? Man I had you pegged around my age.
