Washing or Baking Soda needed.? ( fumes EXPLOSIVE )


Then pads should do.............

think I have  a solution. I just need to get under the car and  run some wires from the  back-up light switch to the wires I found in the automatic transmission   multi-function switch (gizmo) under the hood.    2) The car has been lowered. This I also knew, but I didn't know it was a  point of failure in NH. As Dave (at Steve & Dave's) said, he's seen trucks  that have been jacked up, but they would fail at his station.    Me: How high does it have to be?  Dave: "Stock."    I'm not sure how he judges that, but my questions now are:    a) How tough is it to replace the springs on all 4 corners? Remove the struts?  Screw up the alignment?    b) Can I get away with putting shims/spacers under the springs, to boost the  ride height to normal?  (To be returned to "normal" after the almighty sticker  has been applied.)    c) Anyone know what ride height is "normal"?    I'd prefer to keep the lowered suspension, but I don't want to have to do this  every year just to comply. Unless I find a "better" inspector. ;)    Summary: '91 200 needs rotors, bads, and an exhaust, '90 V8 needs a suspension   and back-up lights. At least the A4 is OK to drive.    --   Kent McLean  1999 A4 Avant, V6 Tiptronic  1991 200 TQA #3, with mods  1990 V8 w/5-speed and other mods  gone: '91 200 TQA x2, '94 100 S Avant, '89 200 TQ "Bad Puppy"        ------------------------------    Message: 5  Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2009 12:54:33 -0600  From: "Ed Kellock" <ekellock at gmail.com>  Subject: RE: [V8] lowered suspension  To: "'Kent McLean'" <kentmclean at comcast.net>,   "'quattro'"      <quattro at audifans.com>, "'200 20v List'" <200q20v at audifans.com>,      "'V8-list'" <v8 at audifans.com>  Message-ID: <A2F08CC583F243C1AF8C8C2A64D28B77 at Boonieslap>  Content-Type: text/plain;   charset="us-ascii"    I think I'd find another inspector.  Seems like this guy is eyeballing a bit  too much.  Sounds rather arbitrary.  It's making me bristle and I'm all the  way out in CO.

I knew this before going in, and I think I  have a solution.
