Crankshaft Group - Removing and Installing the Vibration Damper
- See torque and other considerations.
- The bolt should be lightly coated with AMV 180 000 02 (anti-corrosion - NOT Loktite) and any excess wiped off.
- Audi's 2079 torque multiplier can only be used on a vehicle lift. It may not fit at all if the vehicle has had even a moderate frontal impact at some time in its life.
- These operations are MUCH easier with the engine mounted in the vehicle.
- When removing the sump, both front subframe bolts (and the lower flywheel cover) must be removed. These bolts are "always replace" items.
- To comply with general recommendations, the left side should be tightened first.
