I have been a member of many car forums over the last few years and it never ceases to amaze me the number of ignorant people who feel hard done to and then come on a forum and slag the other party off. So if anything and the reason I have posted, as much as this post has been amusing for most if y...

Mine was completely broken on one side - just hangling loose torn right through the rear toe fixing point. Managed to weld it though; fortunately being the offside was quite easy to get to without taking the sub-frame off. Then I took it to MRC pretty sharpest to fit the stregthening brackets - they...

RE: Re: RE: Front suspension control links

I really like the look of the kit - especially as it contains these improved tie rod ends: http://www.blauparts.com/audi/audi_tie_rod/audi_tie_rod_end/audi_tie_rod_ends.shtml I'm going to purchase it, might take a change on the later kit - I'd still like to verify the VIN - was hoping someone on the...

Front suspension control links

I've noticed a bit of knocking under load on high speed left-hand cornering - coming from the driver side. The tie rod ends look shot so was going to change these anyway. But I thought I would treat myself to a full front link rebuild with all new parts. VagParts do a kit but want £398 (or $781 USD)...

40:60 front/rear split

Is it possible to change the 50:50 drive on B5?
Just thought I would post as I belive it is possible to change the B6 set-up. By changing a part in the centre diff - cost approx £200 from the US and only takes an hour or so to fit.

RE: Wipers linkage p/n

I just fitter aeros - but I found that the drivers wipe stops 2" away from window edge. I didn't notice before I changed them - can the stop position be adjusted?

RE: Have i got a problem?

Before you buy a new one I think it is worth doing some more runs, logging just the one block 003.
Perhaps this will give better resolution, I wonder if we missed the peak MAF due to the sampling - as we were logging other blocks at the time.
