Its got the 1.8t... Funny thing, when the original compressor locked up, I replaced it with the new Denso. The original compressor had 3 mount holes while the replacement had 5. I'll see if I can find the invoice for the replacement compressor and get you a p/n.

My B6 A4 also has a "clutchless" variable displacement a/c compressor made by Denso.

And I hate to tell you this, but, you could've fit that compressor to your existing bracketry without any custom hassle. It has the same mounting points as all Audi compressors as far back as I have seen. However ...

I've got a set of 996TT "Big Reds" front calipers and matching rear calipers for sale. Both caliper pairs come with good pads with about 75% life remaining, plus the original brake hoses.

As you can see in the pic, the clearcoat got a little toasty, but otherwise these are in great shape and work ...

Are those... Hose clamps? On hoses? In the ac system?

Try 'peeling' the corners downward

It looks like the condenser would be fairly easy to modify; i.e. lop an inch or two off the top and weld it shut...

Didn't Mark Swanson change all his 4kq suspension bolts over to stainless in the early 2000's with terrible (and expensive) results?

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Yoda... I'm a pug lover myself, and hearing that just breaks my heart.

Here's a fuzzy pic of my 5 babies:

Reminds me of those replacement freeze plugs you can buy at your FLAPS...

Funny, CarID has listings on fleabay for both 146.40014 and 146.45002, too. I wonder if you tried getting them that way you'd get the same response? I hate that crap. Why bother listing them if you don't have them?

Frenkit, a European company. But sometimes you find their stuff floating around stateside, like NOS pieces from a parts hoarder's collection or a small eccentric Euro repair shop going out of business.

I may of, in my haste, transcribed the typ44/C4 p/n for those pistons instead of the typ89...

And if you prefer to roll your own, you can get new pistons, p/n's 146.40014 and P405301 for the 40mm pistons and 146.40002 and P455301 for the 45mm pistons.

Truth be told, when I said "rebuild" I meant disassemble and replace seals. Calipers that see regular use and have been maintained properly (greased pins, fluid changes, etc.) Obviously, if they aren't in good shape you shouldn't put them back together.

For what it's worth, new OEM G60s are still ...

Just buy some good calipers from someone here and "rebuild" them yourself... Most of the seal kits are $6-$8, and it's not difficult at all. Unless you're trying to rebuild rear calipers with parking brake mechanism, then stuff gets a little crazy.

What calipers are you running? G60s?

I have a ...

FWIW I've never had issues with rusty line nuts. If you're worried about it, just spray them with undercoating...

I've used bolts in the past with thread sealer with good results. Now as an adult, I have more resources and common sense, so I'd probably buy the right part too.

Oops, I kind of got ahead of myself there.

Yes, you can use another bleeder in your open port. Or just determine the thread pitch and use a fresh bolt.

In terms of better than FLAPS brake lines, go to Pirtek or whatever your local equivalent hydraulic shop is. They make hydraulic hoses and lines to your spec while you wait, and you usually ...

For the trim on the lower edges of the doors, each piece has a cap on either end. Often those caps are missing or broken... Pop the caps out, open the doors and slide the pieces straight off. The ...

Yeah, I found those too, but, they're tiny, I think they're for brake lines. I need something for a 20mm o.d. for -10 lines.

These look super cool, better than the usual keepers, and I need a few in AN-10 to keep some oil lines from straying. So far I've only seen these on UK eBay...

The fenders are yours for $40. I can even cut them in half for you to save shipping ;-)

Forgive my ignorance, but... How do you get around the direct injection? Threaded plug? Second spark plug?

I'm putting CQ fenders on my 80, so my B3 fenders are available, in Northern Virginia

Single black and red wire? Maybe the power wire for your central locking pump?

Everything you need to convert your 80/90/CQ/Cabriolet to an OEM switchblade key!

Both door lock assemblies (heated), ignition lock assembly, trunk/hatch lock assembly, central locking pump w/pigtails and the original switchblade key fob from a 1998 Cabriolet. The door locks are pretty much plug ...
