Hey all-
patient is a 92 s4 151,000 miles, whose timing belt was just changed.
little history: the tech mentioned he had trouble getting the belt to
stop rubbing the cover after installing the new belt, something about a
corner being bent and that the cover wouldn't set in there properly.
The belt was making noise from rubbing the cover. He said he wrestled
with this for a bit, but then got it to quiet down.
Fast forward a week later, I heard the belt rubbing the cover just
after start-up this morning. If I gently push the top of the cover
downward or to the side - it goes away for a bit, then will return.
So - can i access the lower timing belt cover without pulling the
entire car apart again? can someone check the family album for me for a
part number? My current thought is to order a new upper (I smacked it
with my fist and took out a small chunk of plastic) and lower cover,
and install. But until those parts come in, it would be nice to remove
the lower cover so that it doesn't wreck my new belt.
Any tips appreciated.
