Those bumper damper bolts are a pain. I had one get stuck and chewed up too. Managed to get it off in the end with a bolt grabber kit - ERBAUER BOLT & NUT REMOVER SET 6 PCS. Thanks for listing all the torque settings too 👍

Just doing this job on my Audi A6 so thanks for the video, great help to see where the hidden bolts are and also that the repair kit is available, thanks again

[@LMAutoRepairs]

That's great! 👍👍👍👍

[@kevinwoolass5946]

Well I have the same job to do, great. Thanks I have done the cambelt and timed one of these engines before but nice to be refreshed on the way the serpentine belt goes.

Nice work as always Luis... hell of a job, satisfying to see it working in the end lovely!!! 👍

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Cars Exposed Thanks Igor! 👍👍👍👍

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Well done Luis! It makes me sad when they "don't have time" to fix an older car.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Yes... a lot of places only want the easy jobs... scan, replace, and get the money... lol Thank you for watching!

[@petemitchell7031]

Hi. Thanks for the video. I have the exact same problem on my Audi. But I don't know where to buy a new arm and a Repair kit to store it. Can you please send me some code for this part? Thank you.

As a long time business owner why can't we choose the work we would like to undertake or be too busy(sometimes we are fully booked for 3 weeks). Frequently the vehicle owner will expect instant fix and to be charged what they are happy to pay versus what it actually takes to do the job fully, professionally, timely, correctly and without a scratch on any parts or panels, fixed the first time( no returns for faulty workmanship). Which includes replacing every contributing part and inclusive of manufacturer recommended replacement bolts,studs,gaskets etc, having the right tools. We are too often expected to fully warranty and yet partially charge the owner. Interested how you charged your neighbour for parts, scan and reset, battery recharge, freight and labour. Note also we are required by environmental law to capture all air condition gas and dispose of correctly, definitely not just release gas to ozone. Personally I like these types of jobs. Interestingly the v6 model tensioner stud for the timing belt will snap also if not replaced and tensioned correctly. A 32 min video can make a 10hr job look relatively simple and appealing. This is not a complaint but a point of view so keep up the great work. Always enjoy your can do approach with systematic evaluation and planning.

Peter datechmen Thanks for your point of view... and for watching! 👍👍👍👍

Great video you have made - thanks :-) . Do you also have a video how to remove the Radiator on a Audi B6 2.5TDI - same car as on this video but just a description around the Radiator ?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Don't think I do have that... sorry... 👍👍👍

[@bunsoft2]

If i remember well you don't need to take off the aircon radiator. You can flip it to side by separating it from the coolant radiator. :-). I could be wrong as i taken apart one of these more than 10 years ago..

[@LMAutoRepairs]

bunsoft2 Hi There is bolts that are behind the compressor... you don't need if you are replacing the tensioner only... but as you have seen, I had to remove the bracket as well... Thank you for watching and for your comment! 👍👍👍👍
