Basic 2.8 Engine Diagram
Hi everyone. I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a basic diagram of the 2.8 engine, to no avail. There was one posting on here years ago but the image is gone.
Could someone help me out and identify the hoses/parts I've highlighted in yellow and magenta? I am an engine newbie. Please feel free to chastise me/point me in the right direction if there is a diagram labeling each of the basic visible hoses and parts already posted somewhere.
This is a 99 2.8l 30v quattro.
I can't fork out $200 for Bentley guide

Thanks! Anyone have any suggestions on crankcase breather replacement? I see this one http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-C5_A6-....8L/ES2215417/ - on sale right now. Blauparts has a more complete kit with evap valve for like $170... ugh.

I applaud you for coming here to get help, however you have to understand owning tbese cars requires investment of dollars. If your qoing to say you cant afford this or that or even a manual, then i would reconsider keeping this car.
I know stuff sounds expensive but thats what it takes to keep these machines running.

That's why I'd love to see some of the more fundamental diagrams of the basics of this particular engine and car. It seems hard to find anything in between extremely technical and a stick figure drawing in the owner's manual. Yes, I am also aware that these are Audis and they don't have as much "in between" as some other vehicles.
Thanks for the help!

I actually just got done replacing the breather hoses and valves for the first time myself. I thought about going with the Blau kit but was able to piece together everything (hoses and valves) from ECS for a little cheaper. I picked up reusable hose clamps from Autozone - FYI, the one time use clamps can be a PITA. If you do get the kit and not just the longer hose, the smaller hose and valves are in the rear of the engine and can be difficult to get to. I took the intake elbow off to get easier access and cleaned what I could off the throttle body since it was available. I'm a newb to Audis too but I highly suggest getting the Bentley manual. I was able to change TB and seals with the info in the manual and the helpful people here. Good luck.

sounds like a shorted diode in your rectifier , most other things would blow a fuse at that current., disconnect the red wire from your alternator .i think the same wire goes to your starter in series so you may be able to disconnect there also .
Good luck ..

FYI Closer to $80 if that would help. Well worth it if you intend to do your own work.... like most of us on here...;-)
