Forrest is a friend of mine that lives up here in northern Michigan. He just 
bought this 95 S6 and it has been nickel and diming him since day one. The 
part he is describing is where the fan clutch screws on. I checked on the 94 S4 
engine that I have and it is different. Mine has a triangle that the wheel 
bolts to and a triangle behind that with a bearing in between and a bolt on the 
back holding it all together. I just talked to his shop and they said it was 
completely different and was all one piece with a bearing pressed in. Anyone have 
any experience with this. Thanks in advance,
