Default I have an OMP one a slight problem with battery clearance

You guys shouldt have a problem though.
The TDI has a bigger battery. It fits fine with th Audi Battery. But when i put my new battery in it wouldnt fit. So i got a different make of battery that did fit

Default Rob - how does your LLtek brace behave under the hood?

Sounds like the OMP interferes with washer nozzle warmers and the wetworks requires some significant hacking (although I'm intrigued by the engineering overkill). Have you had any issues with the LLtek bar rubbing or interfering with anything?

Default Audi must think so since they strated integrating one in the 2001.5 models...

...but before you get all excited, it's a strip of metal welded to the frame - so you cant really order the original Audi part.
