Brake Balance - what was the original question?

[Ben Swann]

Ron,

 

You're not likely being snubbed at all, and AFAIK everyone on the list is
eager to help a newbie or olby, or even a neophile(whatever that may be).

 

Perhaps it got lost in the ensuing discussions that may have been started by
the original.  Often there is divergence and the original gets lost in the
wake or varying thoughts and opinion.  Some know the answer but are not
available.  Some think they know and eagerly offer their advice - wrong or
right or indifferent to it.  Most on the list are eager to help, chime in and
offer what they have, but perhaps not pertain to the original, so.

 

What was the question?

 

Ben

Hello-

I'm sorry to email you directly, but I joined this list in order to try to
find a front strut brace for my '85 4000 Quattro, and to have some sort of
reference for technical questions. I have tried to have my "question" posted
to the group, but it never makes it. I have searched the archives extensively
to no avail. I think the term "archives" applies only in the loosest of
definitions.............

I know that I'm not really using the correct "nomenclature" for my car (I'm
not sure what the correct name is {type 85??}, but I guess that makes me an
ignorant Audi dork of some sort not worthy of a reply), but I'm still into my
car. No, it's not turbo, no, I don't own 6 Audis, I haven't spent $50,000 on
my car, no I don't know the "real" name of the car, or what they call it in
Europe or whatever. I still have the whole front end of my car apart,
motor/transmission out, and the cylinder head is in Germany for some "special"
work. What I'm saying is that I'm still into my car, if I'm a bit of a
neophile.

What it really boils down to is that I need some kind of answer- if this is
"the" Audi discussion group, I don't understand why someone can't just answer
my question, or school me a bit, instead of just snubbing me.

I guess if I don't get an answer I'll know what's really up with the whole
Audi scene.

Thanks in advance.
