I want to adjust the tappets on my S3 , can anyone tell me what you have to remove on the right cylinder bank ( drivers side )to get the rocker cover off ?
Is it alternator and coil only, or does the mounting brackets for these have to come of too.
i want to soak all the bolt required with penetrating oil but don't want to get it on the manifolds if its not nessesary.
Thanks
Dave
WildfireS3 has been posting and asking details about this very thing IIRC..
Check out his recent posts..
I am about to do my tappets this weekend after a visit to David Batty to get a new mirror column. If you can hold off until next week, I will have a guide ready on what to do.
Also have a wiper park switch guide in the pipeworks.
Doesn't the S3 have hydraulic tappets? Rich...
Mine does! (Most don't though, apparently)
(I have a terrible feeling of deja vu...)

Quick correction. It is an 11mm socket needed to set the tappets, not 13 as I incorrctly put.
