Checked your Accelerator pedal linkage lately? ...4kq/coupe GT

[Dave Conner]

All ye who have a 4kq or Coupe GT may want to crawl under the dash and
check out the condition of the rubber bushings in the accelerator linkage.
This applies to 4kq/Coupe GT... 86 & 87 model years for sure, and probably
some earlier years as well.

These bushings left my 86 4kq sitting on the side of the road recently.
There are two of them, consisting of a sort of foam rubber and connect the
accelerator cable to the pedal.  They are in a pretty awkward spot up under
the dashboard.  Mine had nearly crumbled to dust.  Two new ones from the
local Audi Stealer (Ooops! ... I meant to say Dealer)  and $19.01 USD later
and I was back in business.  

These are Audi p/n 431n 721 559  
Shown on the FA main group 7, subgroup 21, ill. 65-00, for the 86 4kq

Hope this helps someone.
