Audi C5 A6 Quattro 4.2 V8 Timing Belt Swap Post-Work Testing

Last Updated: 09/24/2017
   
Parts Group: Timing belt tensioner
After a timing belt swap, I like to start things gently:

Step 1 is to just bump the engine over with the starter and listen if there's anything horribly wrong. If not, on to the next step.

Step 2 is to turn the engine over with the ignition disabled (as in, with the engine speed sensor removed) several revolutions, and listen if there's anything horribly wrong. If not, on to the next step.

Step 3 is to enable the ignition and listen how the engine starts and runs, before connecting everything up again.
