1996 Audi A4 Engine Parts

The cooling of high-load motor oils by oil coolers or the guarantee of an almost constant temperature spectrum brings considerable advantages. Oil change intervals are extended and the engine service life is increased. A basic distinction is made between air-cooled and coolant-cooled types. Depending on requirements, this latter type can be installed in the coolant box or engine block or attached externally to the engine, gear, cooling module or oil filter housing. Behr’s latest design is a compact and powerful stack-disc oil cooler. Since it manages without coolant housing and is made completely of aluminum, its outstanding features are its low weight and design space requirements.

Product Features:

• Meets or exceeds OE specifications
• Manufactured using advanced materials
• Low weight and design space requirements
• OE Style connections and mounting hardware

Goetze OE piston rings for gasoline and diesel engines, are developed for automobile, light commercial vehicle and heavy-duty applications, come in a wide range of sizes, include the first ring sets introduced for Euro4-compliant engines. The end gap can be a straight cut, angled cut or gas tight type for improved sealing. Radial pressure distribution greatly influences ring performance therefore we modify the pressure distribution according to the individual application. The wear-resistance and running-in behavior of the outer ring surface is defined by selecting from various coating options, which include the high-performance electroplated, thermally sprayed and PVD coatings. Goetze modern oil control rings scrape off oil from the cylinder wall, leaving just the required amount for lubrication. The running surface is the contour of the ring facing the cylinder surface. The objective of this running surface profile is to create a lubrication slot with a hydrodynamic film which the piston ring can slide on without touching the other surface. An optimized asymmetrical-barrelled running surface ensures low lubricant consumption even after a very long running time. Goetze piston rings have anti-scuffing properties that promote smooth engine operation, reduced oil consumption and long engine life. In addition, the Goetze process helps prevent materials from detaching and cracking and aids in environmental protection

VAG Recommends New Lifters to be replaced at the same time as valves are resurfaced or replaced, it is further recommended that lifters are allowed to “Settle” for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow excess oil to drain. It is ideal to allow the engine to rest over night prior to starting, it is preferred to turn the engine over by hand prior to starting. If this recommendation is not complied with, valves will contact the piston resulting in the valve breaking at the valve collect groove.
