Re: Engine or aut.trans problem - www.AudiV8.com

Hi Bengt,

well, there is no special connection to Sweden like relationships, my girlfriend and me simply greatly enjoy your country! Therefor we decided (or better to say: it was my girlfriend's idea) to join a swedish course in Vienna for more than one and a half year now, and slowely but constantly we get a little bit into it.

At the moment I'm in Denmark (Aalborg) for post-graduate studies for some months, so I at least get more into the written word, unfortunately the way of speaking here is totally different to the one I'm used to from Sweden. Nevertheless, I also enjoy the Danish culture and people and feel very comfortable here.

Have you noticed the Audi V8 Classic Line which has been sold in Stockholm two months ago? More interesting for you than for us, due to distance and import considerations.

Do you want to tell aus more about your V8?

Well, about the timebelt: I myself never had any problems with just using a marker and exchange the belt. BUT we had some reports from cars with lots of troubles due to that practice. I can't tell if people are just fumbler who exchanged the belt in that way and simply didn't take care or if is a more serious problem. If you say the timing belt didn't length for even en millimetre (as that's usually the problem..)

, it should make no difference at all, you're right.

Your tool looks pretty in comparison to what we did - I guess it's really okay. We countered the central bolt at the flywheel and accidently broke a diagnostic pin from the flywheel, which later on (5000km later on...) cut off the ignition point sensor indication pin from the wheel. Result: Engine off in the middle of the night. Flywheel broken. Hurray

Best regards

Bastian
