Jamex inform me that these were only made for the Audi 80 and 90. They
are not Audi experts, just "generic" :), so they can't say if it will
fit onto a 4000/5000/100/200 car.

Airbox thermostat?

Hmmmm....droool.

Always a disadvantage when taking the duct down so low. Perhaps put in
a mechanical vent that splits the duct line to suck air from either
the lower fender or from the normal position. When it rains pull a lever
and redirect the air so that it is fed from elsewhere and not the
lower duct. Can this be done?
