Default WX blown out exhaust manifold gasket

I'm back from a long quattro hiatus. Im working on a 1984 USA urq with blown exhaust gasket right at the head on #2. nuts are all in place, proper clearances everywhere so mount has not collapsed..i got to pull it all out anyway so I'll have a chance to look for cracks too. Anyone had this happen? To keep the conversation constructive, I have rebuilt/restored a few 10v and 20v 200s, but im a newbie to the urq. thanks everyone.

Hello,

Most likely you also have cracks in the manifold. reason, = busted and burned out motor mount below the turbo, needs a new one.

Dismantle the manifold; lots of work. Check for cracks and how plan it is in regards to the 5 mounting points. In case no good, have it planed.

Replace the motor mount and assemble it all back together. Use only original AUDI gaskets, all the AM stuff is crap.

Good luck.

Ciao

Werner
