[Biturbos4] Lack of heat in B5 series car - any thoughts?(commonproblems, etc)

[sixteenby16 at aol.com]

Has anyone attempted this
with a 1988 or closer Audi 80Q 5 cyclinder?? I am unsure if the "check valve"
mentioned in a previous post exist in this car. I am a of course
tempted to try this but worry that it will be adverse.



Thoughts or add-ons!!!



CHris!

Absolutely, as with everything on these forums there is always an element of 
"try at your own risk".  However, this procedure was recommended to me by a 
very experienced Audi mechanic, who has tried it on a few other 2000 S4's 
with good success and we have also had good success now... 3 months of hot 
air!

Thanks,
Brent.
