www.GruvenParts.com is also now making the lever attached to the rod itself. Apparently a bunch of people are finding those broken too.

Wonder if they make the rod and lever arms too. Both are also broken on mine.
Had a check engine light on forever, finally went to dealer and they found the intake actuator 077198327A arms busted. Dealer actually stocked these bad boys :

for $150 including parts, labor i was out the door. They said the quote from Audi was going to be more like $1000. Might be 1st time ive ever saved $ by going to the dealer for service ...

I heard from others that the replacement pod from Rover doesnt quite fit correctly and you need the Lambo part. Is this true ?

yeah it looks cnc'd. i thought 3d printing could just make plastic parts for like test fitting or something. can they actually 3d print out of aluminum ?

I did have to clean the rods in my engine but since then everything has been working well. Wonder why they get so bound up ?
