[s-cars] timing belt service issues

[Steve Marinello]

I agree, and I think I found it in the Bentley, on page C13-3; Figure
13-1093. Labeled  #17, Viscous clutch bearing.  It looks like the obvious
and correct name, regardless.  It shows a bolt and gives a torque, but I
didn't see any freakin' bolt looking at and around it with a mirror.  Set in
the Generator bracket, #13, which looks to be the right shape from my quick
look on the way home.  Need to find that special bearing puller tool.and go
to a bearing shop.

 

Anybody have a procedure and recommendations for that?

 

If I can't do that, then it is the whole bracket assembly mit bearing, but
why would you have to take everything off to remove that anyway?

i agree with stott, as to whtat the mech is refering to.....the part number
per etka7 ia 046-903-141-D and is show as the whole bracket assemble, no
separate part breakdown showing bearing or part #.....this bracket does
serve as the mount for the alt & ac........hopefully someone here has
sourced a seperate replacement bearing and the procedure to change it

So, I'm letting the mechanic do my timing belt on the S6 today.  He just
called to say.the tb is on, but there's a problem.  The bearing assembly.and
his description has got  me confused.behind the fan clutch (?) is shot and
needs replacing, but he can't figure out how to do it without pulling
everything off the car and 4 or 5 hours of labor.plus the Audi price of $260
for this thing.  He said he's pulled a diagram, but doesn't have the p/n
(@#$%^&).  He said it's mounted to the main bracket that everything else
mounts to, but he can't see a way to get at it from behind while it's on the
car, so it would seem it all has to come out.a/c, power steering pump, etc.
which makes me cringe at what else will stop working when that's done.



Can anyone straighten me out on what he's talking about and what options, if
any might exist?  I'll spin by the shop and try to catch him before he
leaves this evening, but if you've got some info to help me before I go, I'd
appreciate hearing it ASAP.  Don't have the EKTA link on my laptop.what's
the best one now? .was just looking at that one not but a few months ago.



TIA,



Steve
