Misc Audi

[Todd Young <tyoung@wamnet.com>]

Stopped at Carousel Audi here in the Twin Cities yesterday
on my way home from work, so I've got a few comments
to make.

1) The twin-projector headlights from a first generation A6
    will not work on earlier a '93 90S. Parked next to one and
    compared, the 90S has a more vertical demarcation between
    the grill and headlight. Maybe an  S series car will
    work, but I don't know if they had the dual projector
    headlights.

2) Asked "Lonnie" in the parts department (decent guy) what
    they do with the "old" parts fiche cards. Said he wasn't
    really sure, but he believed that they gave them to body
    shops. I might have to write a letter/email to the parts
    manager to see if I can get my hands on a set.

3) Was looking around before being helped. Nice Audi logo
    key rings, VERY nice Audi logo pen/pencil(mechanical)
    set for $14.50 + tax. Bought the pen/pencil set. My fiance
    thinks I've gone off the deep end. Oh well.
    Pen/pencil PN#AU123.

4) They had one of the plastic front under panels sitting there,
    I asked how much the went for, around $200. YIPES! I said
    I think I'll fabricate something or look in the junkyards,
    Lonnie said that was probably the wisest decision.

5) For all you 2.8V6 owners out there. The plastic plenum
    that directs air into the throttle body has a little rubbery
    valve in it that controls blow-by gas recirc into the TB.
    The only way to get that valve is to order the whole
    plastic plenum, so if you plan to clean up your plenum
    (as I do), you will need to be carefull when you try to
    pull that valve out. I plan to lube it up with WD40 and
    carefully (!!!) pull it out.
