Inlet manifold flap bolts ate the engine.
That looks expensive...

Re: RS4 B7 Engine Strip
I'm going to go out on a limb and say someone got a carbon clean and it wasn't bolted back together properly. Lasted a few K's but... then something gave up/worked loose
This is a great reason to deflap whilst getting a clean and remap!

Re: RS4 B7 Engine Strip
That's a good case for de-flapping the inlet manifold!!

I'd say get a quality job done if retaining the flaps as in mine.
All done at MRC with no nuts and bolts falling of at high revs.

They maybe did do a quality job, these bolts could just be a one off.Covkiller wrote:I'd say get a quality job done if retaining the flaps as in mine.

Re: RS4 B7 Engine Strip
Well that's well and truly fcuked it!
I do love how it's not damaged the valve train at all, just ruined the rest of the engine!

Re: RS4 B7 Engine Strip
Whilst on this subject of flaps. I have all the bits to a clean but don't have the funds at the moment for a trip to MRC for a remap. Question is can I remove the flaps now for a remap later or not. Will it effect running without them ? I was going to leave the motors hooked up to avoid a CEL, would that work ?
Re: RS4 B7 Engine Strip
Yes you can It's just a bit lumpy/jerky when cold
Re: RS4 B7 Engine Strip
Cheers Rick, thanks for the quick reply. I'll whip them out then !
