20VT90q

I needed a new clamp for the external fuel pump supply line on my 90q (old one rusted and couldn't be re-used). I havene't been able to find "european" style clamps anywhere until now. The local Checkers started carrying these Goodyear clamps that have a solid band without those stupid cheese grader ridges that eat hoses and look like crap. They also feature internal springs to adjust for thermal exspansion. My camera isn't working right now so I can't take a pic of em for you guys unfortunately. I just thought I'd let you know as I've had one hell of a time finding something like this locally. They may not be Swedish ABA clamps but they're affordable, nice quality and easy to source now.

Here's a pic of what I mean by those stupid American style clamps.

I was looking at them a little closer here a second ago and thought that they look way too close to the stock clamps on these cars. Turns out they're marked "Norma" as in the OEM maker of Audi clamps! The package makes no mention of this but says "made in Germany" so there ya go. You can buy OEM Norma clamps at Checkers now...

The Goodyear clamps are made by Norma? Good to know!

They look exactly like the ones in the pic and are marked "Norma" with the appropriate size (ex. 16-22).

I also forgot to mention that they come with a 2 year warranty too. Go figure. A warranty on clamps.
