Headbolt ID 95 A6q

[TooManyAudis at aol.com]

Thanks Steve and the others who played the game.
 
The headbolts on my 95 A6q were an external torx.  An e-14 socket  did the 
trick.  
 
I was explaining my situation to the counter guy at an O'Reilly parts store  
when another customer -- a mobile mechanic -- spoke up, took me outside to his 
 car, took out a took kit and let me borrow the socket for the evening.
 
Now, all the headbolts are removed, the passenger side head is off the car,  
and I'm wondering what the hell I need to remove to get the driver side head  
off.  Anybody know what it takes to remove the big ass waterpipe, as that  
appears to be in the way.  the EGR valve may need to go, as well.   Anyone.  
Bueller?

Hey Tom,
 
That is the same bolt head that have removed with a 12 point. Pics  are 
alittle blurry but it has 6 points that seem to fit perfectly in a  12 point. I 
have not done an Audi head bolt bt others with a simular  torque. I used a good 
quality socket as the cheaper ones didn't fit  well. My craftsman sockets 
worked well. 
 
Hope that  helps...Steve
