UR-S4 list, for more try:

Others are welcome here.  I don't own one, I just like the motor.  Thanks.

Ck out the timeline MLP put up.  Audi was still fighting the recall in 1987,
and it applied to 87 cars as well.  Pedal changes weren't implemented model
wide, until 1991-92, if you want to look at the 5ktq specifically the pedal
box change was a 88MY change, try ETKA, the when pedal box 115S suffix
started.   Really not insurmountable with some minor early hardware changes
(btdt), but when 115B started in 92 (specific to *this* S car list) H&T
requires a bit more, creativity?   But I've been known to let facts get in
the way of my stories before.

I had the method explained to me.  Sounds "upsetting"?

I don't claim to be a former proracer (but then again most that really are
don't either), nor have I claimed to set dozens of lap records around the
country.  I do have experience in motorsport tho, 25 years of it.  I don't
claim to know it all, I claim to have a lot of experience in quattros, all of
em.  I'm also constantly striving to be a better driver and proponent of it,
partly by prioritizing performance gains and efforts. I also might suggest
that LFB in a DBW car requires a higher level of effort than a non DBW car
(by definition).

Sorry that my posts made you feel so compelled to post.  I'll thank Ian for
helping you communicate your claims.

Tongue in cheek, nose hardly bent from excessive force on my toes, I remain..

formerly something.
