I'm prepping for the install of my new Sachs 2.5 clutch. Im sticking with the OEM flywheel (hopefully its in good shape). While the engine is out...what should I replace? Anything in particular? I plan to change out different vacuum lines etc.

 

rms if nothing else.

 

Water pump if older and all hoses if original, have you pinned/welded fittings? You will get a lot of suggestion's. Kick butt list of cars love the Audis.

 

Why is the engine being pulled to swap a clutch? If you search this question has been asked at least 2x in the last 2 months or so with a heyuge list of suggestions to choose from that will have your wallet hurting if you aren't picky

 

yeah thats a good point. its just the trans you're pulling out of the way to get at the clutch. the engine is staying lol. if every things working? and the oem dmfw looks ok? change out the clutch and the rms and button it up!

 

https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...uild-time.html here is my thread of what I replaced good luck I'm about do all over again for the 2nd time this year.

 

Here is some ideas:
Coolant tank
Coolant flush
All coolant hoses
Weld the coolant pipes - you are 2/3 of the way there as the engine it out
fuel filter
water pump
engine mounts
transmission mounts
drive belt

 

get rid of pancaked piping with new piping
coils+ plugs
check tb/plenum + all hoses
check axles
look over bushings
get a rear locking toe link set up

 

I would do inlet tubes too.

 

My car has been in the shop for some upgrades, fixes, and preventative maintenance. Here is the list in no particular order:

Coolant pipe fix
Expansion tank
Water pump
Check valves (I thought there was only one, but there are two)
Oil pressure sending unit
Metal turbo oil feed lines checked
Waste gate vacuum lines
5 bar fuel pressure regulator
Clutch kit
Slave cylinder (found it was leaking a bit with the engine removal. Bad news/good news)
Pressure accumulator
Spark plugs
Water hoses
Fuel filter
Air filter
Crankshaft seal
Boost pressure test
Wastegate adjust
Endless brake fluid
Coolant
Throttle body seal
Precision Porsche GT2 deck lid (wing painted matte black)
GT2 deck lid wiring harness
Transponder
Coil packs
Solenoid brackets
Engine mounts (RSS)
Trans mount (997 version)
Multi-rib belt
2nd gear detent

So after all this, no more thoughts about blowing a coolant fitting at the track.

 

Ipd plenum
