Heat exposure, damage during removal or an unevenly clamped joint can leave the previous gasket unable to seal properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ticking or blowing noise at the joint, soot around the flange or an exhaust odor warrants inspection for leakage. These signs can also result from loose hardware, a cracked pipe or a damaged flange. Check the complete connection before choosing parts. A leak near oxygen-sensor locations can affect the gas reaching the sensors, so diagnosis should establish the actual source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and service notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow the exhaust assembly to cool before service and support the pipe assembly so its weight does not pull against the turbocharger flange. Remove the old gasket, inspect both mating surfaces and address cracks, distortion or damaged fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlign the new gasket and pipe without forcing the joint together. Use the vehicle's required replacement hardware and tightening sequence, following the factory specification for that engine and flange. Check support brackets and hangers for strain or poor alignment. After reassembly, verify that the joint is sealed and that the exhaust has clearance from nearby components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVehicle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel years\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEngine\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication restrictions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudi A3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006–2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0L turbo gasoline; see application restrictions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8P front-wheel drive; 2.0L turbo gasoline only; Transmission does not determine the specified turbo outlet flange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8P front-wheel drive; 2.0L turbo gasoline only; factory turbo\/downpipe flange must specify 1K0253115AB.
