Aha! I was quoting from the Bentley Ebahn factory manual.
I didn't know Elsawin did any more than list parts.
Yeah - it's much more than a parts list:
It's a brilliant piece of kit if you're a bit of a DIYer :weight_lift2:
Ive just bought this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....em=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT&salenotsupported
Hope its decent when i receive it.
Has anyone had any issues with the brackets not having the bolt holes in the same place as the old ones? We went to fit the RS4 bar today and the new brackets don't fit the holes in the chassis?? Will go back to Audi tomorrow and try and see if there are alternative part numbers but I'm a little stumped today? Mine is an Avant I am wondering whether they are different than the saloon?

What should all the bolts be torqued to? I should hopefully be doing this tomorrow.
Just had a call from the garage saying that they can't fit this as it's wider than the standard mounting points, it fits one end but wont line up at the other??? Anyone else had this problem? It's going on a 55 plate DTM!
Hi Guys,
I've a 2008 3.0tdi Avant. The standard ARB is 18mm, I bought all the parts from audi, £76 all in delivered, bushes, brackets and new bolts. Borrowed a mate's ramp and took 15mins tops to swap them over. The ride is no different to standard, but once you get into the twisty stuff it's a different car, so much more sure footed and flatter. I had my doubts about fitting it, but now can't understand why Audi don't fit it as standard!! As far as I know the front ARB is the same diameter across the range. I then went and got it re-mapped, but that's another story!! just short of 300bhp now, 40+mpg on a run and just awesome power at any speed!!
Regards, Blackwood.
What's this trick then?I also do the two stroke oil thing every time I fill up, that also makes a big difference.
What's this trick then?
If you put two-stroke oil in the fuel at a rate of 1:200:
"the 2-stroke oil will be absorbed by the diesel (emulsion) and grease every moving part of the high pressure pump and the injectors.
Besides this, the 2-stroke oil will keep the diesel engine clean, as it burnes cleaner as the diesel itself "

Hi, A mate did it for me who's in the tuning business, though he mostly specialises in Land Rover products.. My map actually came from Portugal, supposedly one of Europe's top tuners... Anyway, I am really happy with it, the car is just great to drive, not that it was slow to start with!! Just masses of power there instantly. By the way, it's a quattro and the 233bhp model. I also do the two stroke oil thing every time I fill up, that also makes a big difference. Not exactly sure how much it cost me, but certainly no more than some of the other guys out there.. Not sure if I'm allowed to name names on here, but would be happy to pass his name via PM if that helps.. I've not had a dyno readout, but the first map I had was supposed to be 280bhp, and that was dull compared to this one, which reckons to have 30bhp more, with apparantly more if I want it!!!!! I'm not a boy racer, but just like to have that "edge"
Hope that helps, Blackwood.
So basically add 300ml of semi-synthetic 2 stoke to my car everytime i fill it up?
Am i missing anything?
