B5 S4 Service positions?

KOKJ · 02-20-2008, 08:11 PM

Ok, so I've been reading everywhere about service positions for the bumper and radiator and I'm a little confused.

Are there 2 service positions for the front bumper? One where the bumper and radiator swing out of the way, and one where everything moves forward a few inches?

Does anyone have any links to write-ups about how to do both, if there are 2 positions?

I might end up having to get at my belt tensioner soon.

Thanks,
KJ

bumper has to come off , then bumper arms, disconnect screw holding power steering cooler and then pull complete front as far as it will go, you need hex and torx bits to remove

Bend over, lots of Vaseline. I bought a 2000 S4 that needed the timing belt and the cam cap seals cam chain tensioner seals, and valve cover gaskets all redone, the control arms and springs/struts were shot, and the rack puked on me too. Ouch. Just grab the porcelain and hang on, that seems to be the position I end up in.
