Ok folks, here's how I'd like to handle submissions.

Reply to this topic with links you feel should be included in the FAQ/DIY. I'll review the links and then add them or reject them and let you know why.

After I make a decision I'll delete your post so I know I reviewed it.

I have a picture tutorial, with captions, of how to inspect/install a cam follower on a Longitudinal Audi A4 2.0T. It includes a lot of extra pictures of the process and the tools needed for the job.

Might be redundant since you have one for the GTI/GLI/A3, but thought I would offer anyway.

Here is a DIY for replacing the engine cooling fan I first put in the MkV forums but is now also in the 2.0T FSI forums.

It doesn't seem like any of the links to Vortex threads are working anymore.

Probably due to the switch to vBulletin.

[cbergeron78]

I am thinking of swapping out my 2.0T (bottom end is no good).

1) Is a full swap the easiest route to take considering that this is my daily driver and I need the motor running on this car stat?

2) Or would it be just as easy to swap the bottom end and keep the costs down?

3) Is there a DIY instruction for the engine/bottom end removal?

[rydaddyry]

any luck with that boost gauge install ??

[SorryIfarted]

Was looking at oooo-A3's blog, and the latest submission is "its gone" and a whole speal about bad memories that the car brings up, is he talking about the car, or some bitch that cheated on him? Just curious

The timing belt part of the DIY is finished. There is enough info for you to replace your thermostat, just not a step by step posted yet. I will be posting that later on this week! Good luck to anyone that is going to perform this procedure on their own! Anyone can PM me with questions any time!
