The job is done! It definitely isn't an easy task but it's doable without any major problems. The eingine was put in the TDC and I removed only the Intake cam, and just to confirm, the adjuster comes out without the need to remove both cams!!! One just needs to detach the toothed belt cover to slip the adjuster past it. I replaced the chain tensioner pads and the valve cover gasket. The problem itself insn't resolved yet as I get the knocking at the cold starts again so it's the adjuster not holding the oil pressure quick enough. It's the driver's side adjuster as the passenger side had to be replaced by the previous owner max. 2-3 years ago as it's looking ike brand new. Now for the question. Anyone tried the ebay adjusters? I'm realy not into paying 750 EUR for OE Audi one.
