Timingbelt

[Math]

Hello All.

 

I want to replace timing belt Audi A2 1.4 TDI 55 kW.

I read in manual they remove wipers en fresh air duct.

Does anybody know why and uf this is necessary?

 

thanks

Because you need to remove the air intake to be able to rise/lower the whole motor.

The air intake ist additional fixed with two unvisible Srcrews, located under the plastic cover (german: Wasserkasten) underneath the wipers.

Regarding to the famous instruction, this would not be necessary:

At least removing the whipers seems unnecessary to me. And if in doubt, removing the airduct is fast and easy.
