Default I never saw the post that they were available. IIRC it was bits from the RC world...

found in a hobby shop. Butt that may be just another conspiracy theory.

Default The simple solution is>>>

cut and bend a coat hanger into this shape. It works and lasts. Don't tell your wife that you used one of her hangers! They'll multiply aright by themselves when you turn the light off in their closet, and the wifey is none the wiser!

Default That's the air solenoid that activates the mechanical ...

... dual plane intake manifold. Your vehicle is suffering great performance loss.

Default I'm in for one - I can't remove the fishing line off my other (which has held!) as the ball...

...crumbled off the bellows and now there's only a stub left to connect to.

Typical f'n Audi. 10000% guaranteed failure rate, and, gee, let us not make the $0.68 piece available to you nope. Change the subject.

Default My local bud who briefly had an '03 A8 (!) said he had an RC source. I'll ask Rich next time...

...I talk to him.

Otherwise, I thought like Ben or someone was having their machine shop make some?

And then, I thought someone (sorry forget who) pilfered their local boneyard and scored like 8 or 10 off like an old V8 or some crap like that. Allegedly one was coming my way, last I heard of it though and that was monthssssss ago.

Dunno. My fishing line holds true 1.5 years later 8-). FWLIW, I did not notice this 'dramatic performance loss' w/o them sadly. Odd.

And What's His Nutz ^here^ did finally apologize, onward and upward we all have bad daze. That was pretty wacked tho heh heh...

Default Currently testing New Pull rods made in Germany By IGUS

Just testing my new pull rods on the S-8. Hope to do a production run soon after I can confirm they will work properly. Had to wait a couple months for parts to arrive from Germany, but we are working on the Solution I hope. Stay Tuned, John
